301025 - with a paper on using SOAP to solve the very problem I was facing.
301026 - That program wanted me to boot Tomcat, the servlet engine. Well, guess
301027 - what? Darned if good old uncle Bill hasn't tossed yet another mess out
301028 - there for me and others to solve: Windows ME loves to tell me it's out
301029 - of environment space when setting classpath variables in the batch
