Re: JDK 1.2.x for OpenBSD?

["Christian Edward Gruber" <christian.edward.gruber@gmx.net>]

My approach is typically to run OpenBSD as firewall, nat, nfs server, etc
etc, even web-server, but run Java on another platform.  You should be able
to compile the mod_jk or mod_jserv for OpenBSD then run the actual Java on
another machine.  This is actually a little safer configuration, as the
jserv protocols are not directly accessible from the http port, and the
whole setup is a little harder to hack.

regards,
Christian.
