Hi: I'm new to servlets. My initial task is to build a system that routes all incoming http requests through my servlet. In other words, I want to use my server as a sort of servlet customized proxy server. Would actually like to trap anything (URLs for html and cgi and applets etc.) and process it initially through my servlet. The servlet will then http tunnel to the target URL and retrieve the desired document and return it to the requester. Would this be possible in any of the servlet API compliant servers? So far I've concentrated on jigsaw because it's free and open source (java) and supports servlets. I think I've convinced myself that with jigsaw, I will be required to delve below the servlet level to implement my system. I think JRun might allow me to map classes of incoming queries using wild carded prefixes to my servlet. Q1: can all requests be routed to one servlet in any of the servlet engines Q2: has anyone done something like this in the past and want to share problems and issues they encountered and whether it was successful. Q3: are there new features in servlet API 2.1 that will help with this task? Q4: Is servlets the way to go, or is there an easier approach? thanks, -rob ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
