Hello, I recently installed BSDI 3.0 and am now trying to configure
Netscape Fast Track so that it will support server side java.
After several initial failures I contacted BSDI support and they informed
me there was a requisite patch to solve the problem I was having with
shared libraries.
I have applied the patch, and now FastTrack seems to configure nicely,
I get no error messages when I turn on the java listener, it writes the
correct entry to the obj.conf file etc.
However when I test it using one of Netscape's "server-side applets"
I get an error telling me the "Document contains no data"

Has anyone else had experience with configuring server side java on BSDI?
Is there perhaps some common pitfall I'm falling into?

I'm puzzled by this, because I have just come from configuring Netscape
SSAs, and JavaSoft style servlets on several different platforms without
difficulty.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Kellan

ps  What are people using as a JDK on BSDI?  Is Kaffe more stable then its
0.9.0 version number would imply?  Is it suitable for anything but
light-weight use?  Thanks again
