Well here it is. I've spent a bit of time cleaning up the build process and
writing some documentation.

If you want to try SodaServlet, you'll first need to install a servlet 
container
such as Tomcat (jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/index.html).
You'll also need a java compiler and Ant (ant.apache.org) to build it.

This started as a translation of the JavaScript ASP code. Translating from
a scripting language like JavaScript to an object oriented language like 
Java
proved quite difficult and there is now little similarity between the 
Java and
the original JavaScript. The "todo" list is quite long.

I've tested the calculator example on Tomcat 4.1, Tomcat 5.0 and Sun 
AppServer7.

The 0.04 release number is simply to differentiate this release from 
earlier versions
that I had privately provided to various people.

I would still like to get this into CVS....

enjoy,
