An updated jsdk.jar is now available for the Java Servlet Development Kit version 2.0 which will provide full Y2K compliance. http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/y2k.html It is important to note that this does not mean that ServletRunner will stop running on Jan 1, 2000. Please read the following problem description from the website: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Problem Description While certifying the Java Servlet Development Kit 2.0 for Year 2000 compliance, a minor bug with parsing HTTP Date headers was found. This bug does not affect HTTP Date headers sent from the server to the client, it only affects interpretations of dates sent from the client. The effect of this bug is that dates between March 1, 2000 and December 31, 2000 are interpreted to be 1 day previous to the date sent by the client. For example, if a client set a date header for March 10th, the server would interpret the date as March 9th. Date headers are typically only sent from clients as part of the Last-Modified header. This header is sent as part of a "Conditional Get" request in which the client is requesting content be sent only if it has been modified since a particular time. With this bug uncorrected and the server interpreting dates in the affected range as being 1 day previous, the effect is that a server will be erroneous in it's Last-Modified calculation and will serve content in cases where it doesn't really need to. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Also, there will be a final version of the JSDK 2.1 "Real Soon Now" (much before Y2K) which will be fully Y2K compliant and will supersede the JSDK 2.0. ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
