Greetings! I have been a member of this list for a couple of weeks now and has just started off with servlets. I could never understand the difference between the two servlet classes - GenericServlet and HTTPServlet. It's quite clear that the classes in the javax.servlet package are intended to support most generic, protocol-independent servlets. In what scenario do I really must extend the class javax.servlet.GenericServlet? How can we compare and contrast the classes javax.servlet.GenericServlet and javax.servlet.http.HTTPServlet (the name of course suggests a difference that HTTPServlet is a specialised one to be used while dealing with http protocol)? Can anybody elaborate, since any of the books doesn't discuss them? Good Day, Mani ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
