ANN: Tool for converting JServ-style properties files to web.xml

[Simon Brooke <si...@weft.co.uk>]

Over the past few months we've been converting a considerable number of 
Web applications from Servlet 2.0 (JServ type) to Servlet 2.2 (Tomcat 
style). One of the major chores in doing this has been converting 
Servlet zone properties files into web.xml format, and so of course 
we've written a utility class to do this. I've now packaged this class 
up as a Servlet, and it is on the Web at

<URL:http://unstable.weft.co.uk/p2wx/>

Documentation and source-code are also available from that URL.

It's on our 'unstable' server because it is not fully tested, and may 
break. We absolutely do not guarantee that this service will do 
anything useful at all. Nevertheless, you are welcome to use it and if 
you do find it useful that's great. Note that it's not (in it's present 
guise) hugely secure; your properties file gets uploaded to our server, 
and our admins could in principle read it.
