I am trying to write a servlet that can communicate with another java program via JavaSpaces. I can happily do this with two java programs, but when I try it with a servlet I have problems. The servlet collects data and then writes it to a javaspace. The separate Java application takes the data from the java space and writes it to a file. I have discovered that the info the jini servlet needs can be passed using web.xml. How do I then load it in to the servlet (space name, code base, look up group)? I have also discovered an exception to the above rule. apparently the security policy file needed for the jini servlet must be set before the servlet runs (the servlet will eventually run on server start up). I guess this information can be merged in to on of the Tomcat config files, but which one and how??? Thanks for any help. PS I am using TomCat 3.2.1, windows, and Jini 1.1 and below is a snippet from the web.xml file <servlet> <servlet-name>HelloSpace</servlet-name> <servlet-class>jsbook.chapter1.helloWorldTwo.HelloWorld</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>outrigger.spacename</param-name> <param-value>JavaSpaces</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>com.sun.jini.lookup.groups</param-name> <param-value>public</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>java.rmi.server.codebase</param-name> <param-value>http://notebook:8080/space-examples-dl.jar </param-value> </init-param> </servlet> -- -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Michael Tickle Computing Science Dept. of Computation ICQ 5252 8934 Mob: 0777 968 5548 Fax: 0870 705 8382 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
