[nflug] Apache/Tomcat Question

[joshj at linuxmail.org]

Jonathan: Thank you for your astute observation. However, if I was using 
mod_perl I would not be in this boat. I am looking specifically for a 
Tomcat/Apache solution.

Brad: I think web_dav is going to be out of the question also because it 
is a rather complex way in which the client login is handled. And it is 
handled through a bean. Unless there is a way for web_dav to handle the 
request, send it to a jsp/servlet and then act accordingly on the 
response. Or interface directly with the bean somehow.

While on the topic of Java, does anyone know any good XML parsers?
