Re: Servlets

I guess I should share this bit of fun with everyone... for the last four
or five months I've been compiling my servlets on my workstation with
Visual Age for Java.  It took a little work, but really all it amounted to
was importing all the jar files from the IBMWebAS/lib directory.  Now I do
all my work in VAJ, and then export it to the AS/400.

The NEXT thing on my list is a servlet emulation environment.  If anybody
is interested in helping me come up with the requirements for this
environment, I'd appreciate it.  Here's the general idea:

We'd have to subclass the HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse
classes to our own.  These new classes would have to support the primary
features used by a servlet, such as outputting HTML or calling a JSP.  For
example, emulating the HTML output stream would require sensing the end of
file and then displaying the resulting HTML in a pseudo-browser page.  The
really hard part would be emulating a JSP; I'm not sure I'm in the mood to
write all THAT code any time soon... but it would be good enough to just
pass the session information to a JSP emulation class which would allow you
to see that the right information was passed.

Anyway, those of you who aren't already calling 911 and sending guys with
white coats my way, feel free to drop some ideas onto this thread.
