Hi Nic Ferrier,
Thank you for your suggestion. I tried out the code snippet that you had suggested by
making a servlet to contain that code and called it using <FORM METHOD=POST
ACTION="/servlet/Postexample"> in HTML. My servlet is
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Postexample extends HttpServlet {
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req,HttpServletResponse resp)
throws ServletException, IOException
{
resp.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter p=new PrintWriter(resp.getOutputStream());
p.println("<html><body><h1>Hullo!</h1></body></html>");
p.close();
}
}
It still comes up with the error "Connection reset by peer". I believe that this
servlet runner came along with the jsdk2.1. That should mean that all people using
this would have the same error or that I have missed some patches. I also tried out
the technique given in Jason Hunter's book 5 Th. chapter where instead of writing to
the PrintWriter returned by getWriter(), the servlet first builds a
ByteArrayOutputStream and then builds the PrintWriter around it. The advantage of this
method is that we will be able to get the exact length of the output in bytes. The
value that I have used in code that I had sent earlier sets the content length in
characters.
If you have any more pointers on this , I would be grateful to receive them.
Regards
Mathew

You should not set the content length if you are having trouble. The
easiest thing to do is try this:
void doPost(HttpServletRequest req,HttpServletResponse resp)
{
resp.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter p=new PrintWriter(resp.getOutputStream());
p.println("<html><body><h1>Hullo!</h1></body></html>");
p.close();
}
if that works then servletrunner is ok and it is your code.
Check that you are flushing and closing buffers properly.
