The paper discusses in detail about servlet and servlet filters programming in Jython. When I started Jython programming I struggled to get some useful and genuine resources on Jython server side programming especially for servlet filters. This motivated me to write a unique and a different tutorial in jython. I hacked into Jython and did some work in this area and now I use Jython instead of pure Java for server side programming.

This white paper can be regarded as a simple and a genuine Jython server side programming tutorial and its a small contribution from my side to the Jython community. This paper also explains how to compile some latest python modules in jython with a simple example.

In short the objective behind this tutorial is to portray the capabilities of Jython in server side programming and how to use Jython with some latest Python modules.

---- Although the paper is here, the presentation was never given at PyCON 2005 as the speaker could not attend. In that timeslot, Bruce Eckel and others stepped forward and answered questions about the Python Email package, among other topics.
