Chapter 6 - Java servlets

6.1 How can I make Java servlets work?

You can use:

• GNUJSP

• Apache Jserv. http://java.apache.org/jserv/index.html.

Also others not yet packaged for Debian but which migh be soon included are:

• tomcat from ://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/.

• jigsaw from http://www.w3.org/Jigsaw/.

• Jetty http://mortbay.com/software/Jetty.html (tested successfully on a potato machine)

6.2 Do servlets work with kaffe?

The servlet.jar in Kaffe will not work. It is only a shell. There is another LGPL implementation that was written by Paul and Mark Wielaard. It is available at http://www.euronet.nl/~pauls/java/servlet these will have (have been?) added Apache JServ package so the user doesn't have to download Sun's classes any longer.

6.3 Do I need non-free Java in order to run servlets?

Not known. Possibly not, need to explain.
