We are doing something similar. What I really want is a no-arg constructor so that I can setup a port and socket factory in a derived class before the base class constructor initialiases the web server.

I'd like to have the WebServer class pick a dynamic port for me, and from what I can see if a pass a port number of "0" into the constructor it will do this. Snag is, the serverSocket field is a protected variable and there's no getXXX method to gbet the actual port number assigned. Seems I can probably subclass WebServer to get around this, but wondered if anyone felt it merited inclusion in the base class. -- Rob Walker SoftSell Business Systems, Ltd.
