Lalith:
If I understand your question(s) correctly, the answer is like this:
1. In the original JSDK1.0, the servletrunner tool supplied with the kit did
not serve files (e.g. HTML files or the like). It ONLY provided access to
servlets. Now, no reason why you couldn't write a servlet that served the
files, but if you just wanted to serve static web pages, servletrunner would
not do the job in that rev.
2. In the new one, the example servlet engine DOES serve files, e.g. it acts
like a complete web server, so yes, it is in fact all you need to learn
about servlets, IMHO.
I believe I understand correctly when I say that both servletrunner & the
server included with the new JWSDK are intended to be reference
implementations, not full commercial products for deployment in their own
right. Therefore if you're going to do a full project with servlets, you
need a tool like Apache & Jserv or IIS & JRun, or one of the other many
combinations often discussed on the list.
Please - if anyone sees it differently please chime in, but that's the story
the way I understand it.
Hope that helps

Hi,
I asked this Question because , currently am following a book Called
JAVA SERVLET PROGRAMMING by JASON HUNTER.
There it says the SERVLET ENGINE in the JSDK (not JSWDK) does not support
session tracking, server side includes etc therefore all their examples are
based on JWS.
SO what is the meaning of that ?
WHAT's the difference between the SERVELET engine in the JSDK1.0 and the
SERVLET
engine in the JSDK2.1 to me it looks like the same.
Previously the reference implementation of a SERVLET engine was JWS
Now the reference implementation of a SERVLET engine is JSWDK.(ACCORDING TO
ONE
OF THE ARTICLES I READ)
So my arguement is JSWDK1.0 SERVLET ENGINE should support everything without
the need of any other webserver. IS THIS argument correct ?
(SHOULD I GO FOR IIS + JRUN OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT )
