PocoServlet is in SVN

So, finally, I have delivered. Something. Don’t get me wrong, the thing runs, but there’s more to do before a release. There’s a TODO list here. Briefly, here are the issues: – I am not sure what exactly to do with Attributes and they are all over the original Java API, so I have improvised […]
