Hi,
I'm currently looking for beta testers for our new BrowserHawk4J JavaBean.
This bean is used from any Java environment to get detailed information on the
visiting browser and its capabilities. BrowserHawk has been available for
Microsoft Windows developers (especially ASP) for 1.5 years as an ActiveX/COM
component, and now we've brought it to Java for use with servlets and JSP.
BH4J automatically parses the User-agent and other headers to set properties
such as browser type, version, platform, OS details, etc. And it sets over 40
other properties including DHTML, style sheets, SSL, SSL key size, SSL cipher
suite, file upload, gzip compression, mouse overs, JavaScript and JavaScript
version, frames, tables, cookies, etc.
Based on this information you can dynamically send the most appropriate
content
back to the visitor's browser from your servlets and JSP, or redirect them to
pages most appropriate for their browser. This approach provides many
advantages
over client-side browser sniffing.
Quick example:
BrowserInfo b = BrowserHawk.getBrowserInfo(req);
// Redirect if any of these aren't true
if (! (b.getFrames() && b.getTables() && b.getCookies())) {
res.sendRedirect("/basic_site.html");
// More examples at http://cyscape.com/products/bhawk/syntax.asp
For more information or to download the free beta go to:

If you have any questions please email me directly rather than bog
down the list.
p.s. Active beta testers will be offered 30% off once released so this
is a great time to get involved and give it a try.
