Re: getServerInfo() - not standardized ?

[Taylor Cowan]

I suppose it is because the entire purpose of the J2EE spec is to get rid of conditional logic based on a vendor's app server.  On the app servers I deal with the underlying concrete classes implementing interfaces like HttpRequest are actually vendor provided.  You could use instanceof checks, type cast, and then use whatever non-J2EE features you want to on the vendor implementations.   Taylor ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Simms To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 30, 2001 1:19 PM Subject: getServerInfo() - not standardized ? Uh....hate to ask a stupid question, but why wasn't the vendor-info standardized in the J2EE spec ? If I need to implement conditional logic based on a vendor's app server, how can it be done ? Create a session-scoped attribute with the appserver designation read from a pre-set properties file or what ?
