I downloaded the jsdk 2.1, but I don't see any classes like in the 2.0. Do I use the
servlet.jar, or
is there some other package to download?
Is there any other way for me to do the global pooling in a servlet, and communicate
with the servlet
without using getServletContext().setAttribute(.....? We are using New Atlanta's
Servlet Exec, which
is just great, but it won't support the jsdk 2.1 until sometime in June (which could
turn into
anytime later in the year). They have a beta out now, but my systems group doesn't
like the idea of
building apps around beta technology.
