Time to refresh your lazy minds :) :) :) on the policies of this list (since
I've seen so much CRAP going around here lately)... Read it and consider it
as your _BIBLE_ before posting to the SERVLET-INTEREST mailing list...

ABSTRACT:
---------
This is an informative document covering the conventions and usage
of the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list.
BEFORE POSTING:
---------------
Before asking questions of a general nature, please check out the
resources available online to see if your question already has an
answer and to see if this is the best place to ask it.
1. Sometimes this may be the wrong forum for your discussion
because it has nothing (or very little) to do with servlet
technology and can be better discussed elsewhere (Examples:
JDBC-related questions, JSP queries...). For a full list of the
mail forums hosted by Sun Microsystems, Inc. for Javaª related
technologies, please check:
* <http://archives.java.sun.com/archives/index.html>
2. Often your question has already been discussed on this list.
You can search the archive for this mailing list at:-
* <http://archives.java.sun.com/archives/servlet-interest.html>
3. Check some of the extensive FAQs and documentation that has
been built up by the servlet community over the last few
years:-
a. A great link to know about is the Sun servlet site, where
you will find an introduction to the technology and links
to the specifications, APIs, white papers, news and
products supporting servlets:
* <http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/index.html>
b. An excellent place to start learning about servlets is the
Servlet Trail of the Servlet Tutorial:
* <http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/servlets/index.html>
c. We also have a listing of external resources you may find
helpful:
* <http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/external-resources.html>
d. Some FAQs that may help you (we encourage you to help out
with the maintenance and growth of these faqs because people
find them very useful):
* <http://www.jguru.com/jguru/faq/faqpage.jsp?name=Servlets>
* <http://www.purpletech.com/servlet-faq/>
LIST USAGE:
-----------
A few notes about the use of this list. We at Sun enjoy hosting
this list to give everyone a forum to discuss servlets and related
technology. There are a few things that we ask of you, the list
members:
1.
If you have a question that you urgently need the answer to
please remember that it is unlikely that everyone else on the
list will feel as urgently about it as you do. People
participate on these lists because they want to and may
occasionally be irritated to get a mail in their inbox that is
labelled URGENT, or URGENT HELP REQUIRED ! It may actually
discourage someone from answering or following up with a
discussion.
2.
If you have not posted to this list before, and perhaps are a
beginner in the technology and are not sure if your question is
well formed it can be helpful to put [BEGINNER], NEWBIE or in
the subject line.
3.
Please don't engage in advertising ! We like to hear when new
products are announced and a link for all the information. What
we don't like are lengthy press releases, advertisements, and
other material which falls under the umbrella term "marketing".
There is no problem in stating how your product compares to
another, but remember, this isn't run by Sun to be an
advertising forum -- but as a technical forum. Putting [ANN] in
the subject line is a good and known convention for sending out
an announcement message.
4.
Please don't post attachments to the list. The use of VCards
and S/MIME is not really needed on a list like this and is
annoying to some whose readers don't support them. More serious
is the posting of .zip files and other larger items. You might
get flamed a little bit for S/MIME or posting in HTML. You will
be removed from the list for posting a .zip or other archive
file.
5.
If you need technical support from a vendor, please contact
that vendor directly.
Conclusions:
------------
Please help us trying to create a suitable environment for the
dicussion of Javaª Servlets technology, and please help us to
maintain the Servlet Interest mailing forum a healty place for
efficent communications. And now, back to Servlets, enjoy...
