well, actually yes :) no, i just thought there might be some people pointing out that if you do serious servlet-programming you propably need access to some persistent storage, so file i/o and db access is a part of servlet-programming, too :) > I monitor this list with the sole intentions of helping others (and myself) > become more proficient/skilled developers.
