Wow, this answer is perfect. One question is left:
o where is the jetspeed servlet located, and what is its name?
The only thing I found was the jetspeed.vm ( I expected someting like Jetspeed.jsp or
jetspeed.class). I searched even in the sources to no avail. So the step from 3) to 4)
is not clear to me.
Thanx in advance
