Simple Java servlet getInputStream() Jul 01, 2009

If you need a simple proof of concept to display the body of a HTTP Post from a Java Servlet you can use the following code:

    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(req.getInputStream()));

    while (in.ready()) {

        System.out.println(in.readLine());

    }

This will print out the body of a request to your standard output. Please note that this is _NOT_ the best way to do this. This is just a quick way to get at a HTTPRequest object's body tag.. Java can be complex but it doesn't need to be.

Django -- from Java to Python in hours. Jun 15, 2009

I assure you it is possible. I just wrote this blogging software and front end integration in just over a week's time. I had never even seen/written python before last week. I decided as soon as I got home from work and all weekend I was going to learn, write, and deploy a django app. It is production ready with a web stack of python/postgres/django/apache/lighttpd. Unfortunately that doesn't make me a python professional but it does prove Django can really get you on your way.
