It was an early mistake by the JavaDoc writers; it's redundant. -----Original Message----- From: A mailing list for discussion about Sun Microsystem's Java Servlet API Technology.

Hi All ! In the API , ServletRequest Interface is mentioned as public abstract interface ServletRequest { } . A class can be an abstract class , if it has got abstract ( to be improved ) methods . But abstract interface is not making much sense to me . Any way all the interfaces need to be implemented by some classes . Then why this interface was declared specifically as abstract interface ? Any ideas ?
