C/C++ is certainly not going away. Embedded systems thrive on C/C++ and cannot even think of migrating to languages like java or c# this early, atleast the bit i have seen yet. Specially because the speed and the memory management power they give you, atleast c/c++ is not moving away from embedded systems.

Sorry to intervene. But isnt void main() legal for embedded systems(by embedded systems i mean microntrollers)? The question because, i understand that the value needs to returned back to the caller(the OS), but isnt embedded systems an exception to the rule since in some of the cases it doesnot have an OS and in some other cases the system may never return, meaning it is some kind of endless, for loop. So my question is whether it is illegal for embedded systems to use void main(void)? If so why?

Hi All,
I am relatively new to the world of webservers and java, so please pardon me for any mistakes i make in conveying my problem.
THe problem is as following:
we have a sunone webserver 1(abc.com), and a sun one webserver2(def.com).
There is a jsp application in webserver 1.
A button in the application in abc.com redirects the user to def.com(response.redirect("def.com")) . When the user clicks the button, this redirect information reaches the browser and the browser then sends the user to def.com.
When the request hits def.com an LDAP authentication mechanism is activated. Since LDAP finds no authorization information the LDAP sends a response back to the browser, The browser inturn pop's up a authentication box. Please note that it is Basic authentication, base 64 encoded user pass.
My question is can i include this base 64 encoding("Basic user***") in the redirect i am doing from abc.com such that it travels with the new request to def.com and thus the login happens in LDAP and no popup box is shown to the user?
If it is how is this possible?
Thanks in advance.
