Why? If you've got a single servlet that's performing a lot of different tasks, your servlet can grow to be quite large and application performance will slow down. >> CLICK for the full tip: http://www.search390.com/tip/1,289483,sid10_gci852772,00.html Do you have a WebSphere tip to share with your peers?

I did res.setContentType ("application/msword"); Actually this works on NT. The Word document opens inside the browser perfectly, but on 390 it opens as a "File Conversion Dialog" with some encoding options. When I select one of those options it starts a Word process and also opens the document in the browser but all the toolbars are disabled. How do I fix this problem? >> CLICK for Jim's expert response: http://search390.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid10_cid486488_tax285123,00.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= RECORD I/O, KI AY, JAVA CODER! | by Jim Keohane Does your WebSphere Java servlet have a tough time accessing MVS datasets efficiently? Java Record I/O (JRIO) may be your answer. This tip demonstrates how tweaking your Java servlet or application with JRIO provides record oriented file I/O for native MVS files and VSAM datasets. >> CLICK for full tip: http://search390.techtarget.com/tip/0,289483,sid10_gci801605,00.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= HOW MUCH ARE YOU WORTH? | Search390.com Salary Survey Take our ongoing salary survey yourself or just check out the results through several views.
