To the people who have indicated their appreciation for the thread so far : I may have provided the pretext and the questions, but the answers were not mine. So don't forget Mark and Chuck and Chris and Peter and Ken and others. They are the non-dummies who wrote the intelligent stuff.
Since then, I have gone back to read parts 2 and 10 of the Servlet Spec, and it's rather amazing how that document becomes suddenly that much easier to read and understand, when one has benefited from enlightened help on this forum. I may even start reading it from the beginning now.
I also understand better why Chuck sometimes pushes a poster's nose into the Servlet Spec, part x.y : when one already has a clue, it's true that that document is good for reference and confirmation, and even information. But recalling my hapless perusals of just a week ago, it is probably also true that a Java Servlet Specs for Dummies (aka Beginner's WiKi) may be a good idea.
