-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all;
another question which probably can be considered stupid, but nevertheless: I'm in an attempt of learning how to deal with server-sided java by rebuilding an intranet solution formerly implemented in Perl which currently runs atop gnu/linux. The java solution I'm about to build is intended to fully replace this, which requires me to do two basic things besides just presenting content: - - users need to be enabled to upload files to some pre-defined folder within the unix filesystem - - users need to have a "download" page where they can fetch files from within their $HOME - From a Perl programmers point of view, determining which folders to use might be an easy task doing some black text-processing magic using /etc/passwd, but that's somehow not the way, I guess. Besides this, users of course need to login to the site before they may up/download anything, so I need to authenticate them against the Unix-style user information stored locally. I'm not yet completely sure how to deal with this... So, two questions: * How to link a jsp/servlet-based app to any unix-based user management? Will I have to take a dive into JAAS for this, or is there a faster way? * Generally, since this is not really tomcat-related (just to the point that I'm using tomcat for this): Can anyone recommend a good mailing-list for j2ee newbies? :) Thanks for any hints and bye.
