Thanks, g f, Well, you know, one thing is to be able to install and run Tomcat and other very different thing is to master Java!
Thanks for the idea and the code. I am still far from being able to take profit of most of the programmatic capabilities of a language like Java! But you have helped me to understand how this new grand of "callable" software does work. Greetings, Ricardo g f wrote: > If you are using tomcat then you must be somewhat versed in Java?.
