[jdom-interest] JDOM via Servlet

[Ian Lea]

The file not found exception on http://devboard/etc. is
happening, I guess, because the servlet is trying to access
that URL and failing.  So perhaps either use a URL that
is accessible or mess around with proxies or whatever to
make it accessible, or switch off validation by changing
line 63 in WhlslServlet.java to

  SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder();

Some people say that validation should be off in production
environments.


You don't seem to have incorporated the readFully etc.
mods. suggested by Joseph Bowbeer.  I suggest you do.
