Re: [servlet-dev] Spec section 4.2 - what does it mean?

[arjan tijms <arjan.tijms@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I recently dusted off a "Java Web Server" book (one of the earliest of the earliest Servlet containers I think, see https://www.amazon.com/Core-Java-Server-Chris-Taylor/dp/0130805599), and it indeed described how you had to copy your Myservlet.class to a folder called /servlets.

Servlets were seen like CGI-scripts initially I guess ;)

Kind regards,

Arjan

 From what I recall "distributed container" is referring to EE server
clustering, at least that is what I (and others that I worked with on an
earlier EE server) thought it meant some years ago but as others point
out, how clustering works with EE has never really been defined.
