Hello Andreas, I am sorry, I don't run java servlets, nor do I know where to start. Nor do I know the answer to your question. But, I can ask a question: rather than depend upon System.out and System.err, why not open a brand new file, say /tmp/debugger, and send all your debugging there? If you

Hello everyone. For my aforementioned encryption program, I was rather hoping to use Sun's BigInteger implemention. It has a constructor that can accept arrays of bytes, and a method to return an array of bytes. I could take an egotistical American view of the world, and cast chars into bytes --

Well, it *could* be packaged for debian, there is nothing against that in the license. What *IS* illegal is *using* it under debian. So, afaict, no one has plans on packaging it, but there exists a package: ibm-jdk1.1-installer that you might find useful.. :) On Sun, Jan 30, 2000 at 05:05:25
