[JDEV] Java/XML

[Carlos Castellanos]

Thanks for the good advice Mike.  I'm still not sure if jabber is right
for what I'm going to do, I just thought of it because I'm too lazy to write
my own xml! BTW, i'm not responding to Jabber server events I'm just
reading Apache and Tomcat server logs.

Thanks,
Carlos
