Uhhh... Stop using JServ? Why? ;o) Still using it in my product. The switch to Tomcat was not dirt-easy ( have a lot of WML generating servlets, and a patched JServ to set content-type right... ), so why change something that works. > > Tomcat is getting bigger and slower every day and must do only one > > stupid thing (connect a URI to a servlet, dah!) that we were able to do > > in jserv with some 120Kb of java code.

I wrote a simple HTTP server for Java 2 MicroEdition over the last weekend, with rudimentary Servlet-style support, not according to spec at all, just a simple Servlet interface with two methods. And even though I use a multithreaded approach, Threadpooling, RequestHandler pooling and support of SingleThreadModel interface (or multiple requests through the same initialized servlet concurrently), and even a miniature XML parser it is less than 100kB in size (a lot is debug messages, in total 239kB with the Ethernet driver and the J2ME CLDC class library). Next step is to squeeze XSL transformation in another 100k or so. Then tackle to get the rest of Cocoon inside, and then we have a Cocoon for PDAs. How about that? Hmmm.... Why? Because it can be done ;o) Sylvain, I have decided to go my own way... Your quote on memory footprint was too much, only got 512kB for execution (Gates said I would never need more than 640kB, remember?)
