Sorting Lists in Java

Hey, David:

I have a servlet program that builds a list of products. I have several ways of sorting the list of products, and in most cases, I can just change the order by clause in my select statement to return the correct order. In one view, I need to sort the list by the length of a product component name. I built my own sort routine, but I wonder whether SQL or Java provides a way to sort a list of items by their length.

Extending the Network

Hey, Ted:

Our company recently acquired a small company with its own network, on which it uses Microsoft Terminal Server to host the client applications. Our AS/400 is at V4R3, and our Client Access is V3R2. Can we use the Terminal Server to extend the AS/400 green screens to the other network?
