15.5.2001 External JSP functionality tested 

We are pleased to inform , that Husar II was tested quite successfully with latest (free) JSP engine 1.1.2.2.0 from Oracle. It could be interesting for the Husar II customers because it offers some extra functionality for Oracle database access. We have tested it in Linux 6.2 with jdk1.2.2 and Solaris 8 with jdk1.2.1. Tests for NT with jdk1.3 are also promising (store demo seems to work). 
This optional feature shows open architecture of LanDiBase/BlackRose, which use as many open standards as possible, so the user can always extend/migrate to any possible combination of components. 
Remark : the development of this feature is in the meantime stopped, and it is not a part of Husar 2 server.
