Introduction

The servlet utilities are a collection of Open Source tool classes which are designed to ease the task of building Java Servlets. The classes provided in this collection are compatible with any JVM and (for the most part) can be used outside of a servlet container, but the design targets the web environment.

This tutorial intends to provide you with enough experience to use the utilities for your own projects. The assumption is that you are primarily interested in how to generate PDF files for transmittal across the Internet, so that is the focus of the tutorial.

As the source is provided under GPL, you may use this software as you see fit and at no cost. If you make improvements or have problems, it would be appreciated if you would let everyone else know so that we can help each other.
