[Jython-dev] Re: servlet problem self.getInitParameterNames() solved

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

It works great with the change I made. Attached are the two classes I
changed:
    pyservlet.PyHandler    in the place of the old PyServlet
    pyservlet.HandlerAwareHttpServlet

The same handler can deal with both 1) jython servlet derived from
HttpServlet and 2) jython servlet derived from HandlerAwareHttpServlet.
Fortunately most info is from request, so only when you need to port
SnoopServlet do you need to use 2.

I also send this to the jython-dev list in hoping that in future
release, we can have servlet support built-in. I view this as one of the
big strength of using jython, if JSP is mod_php to apache, we have the
equivalent of mod_python now. JDBC, XMLC, imageio, the possiblilities
are endless.

Following are some sample jython servlet scripts. I love it! Thank you
jython developers.
