Hi:
I know that HttpServlet extends GenericServlet and similarly
the Request and Response have a generic parents as well.
I was wondering if there are any other known class which
extend GenericServlet. Not necessarily open source, but
has anyone heard of anyother implementations?
Any links/pointers/articles are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
I think that no such classes.
What I am sure about is that servlets are designed to work within a request/response processing model in which a client sends a request message to a server and the server responds by sending back a reply message. Requests can come in the form of an :
HTTP
URL
FTP

I hope this helps.
Jimi.

Jimi:
Thanks for your response. I found what I am looking for.
As I understand, currently the API supports only HTTP
protocol, since it is mostly used etc etc.....
Also, protocols like SMTP, FTP, POP etc can be supported.
What caught my attn. was
[b]or a custom protocol.[/b
and this made me curious to ask if anyone has heard of any.
Thanks.
