I failed to get anything from the link
http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/2.2/javadoc/javax/servlet
..wait let me rephrase that... it resulted in a 'sorry, we could not get
the file you requested error'
Thank yoy all by the way for your suggestions... I have yet to try them
out... I'll be back with feedback as soon as i do...
by the the packages are to be used with XSPs, not servlets...
:)
Most Grateful -
kazi
