Hi Louis,
I have the impression you're confusing things. 'setAttribute' was not yet
defined in Servlet API 2.0 (package included in JSDK2.0). That method is an
addition to Servlet API 2.1 (package included in JSDK2.1 or JSWDK 1.x). Because
of implementation differences you're going to have a hard time using the 2.1 API
package with software developed for the 2.0 API.
In order for us to be able to use Apache JServ 1.0 we DOWNGRADED our servlets
from 2.1 to 2.0. But, this is not always possible.
regards,
Danny Martens
