Decanted Tomcat questions into a new Apache Tomcat FAQ section and added several new answers to various Java servlet and servlet container questions.
Created a ServiceLogClientParser to automatically extract spam client details from service logs and emails submitted through Web forms. A sorted map of clients is stored in a TreeMap keyed by IP address and serialized between invocations to build a cumulative record. A getDenyList() method returns the current set of IP addresses formatted as Apache Deny from directive statements for insertion in .htaccess. A getClientFilterList() method returns the clients formatted for a servlet ClientFilter configuration set.
Updated the standard Client class to implement Serializable to enable storage and used the serialver tool to add a long serialVersionUID variable for forward compatibility.
D:\java\jdk150\bin\serialver
-classpath e:/home/codestyle/build
org.codestyle.servlet.Client
Refined the initial output of the ServiceLogClientParser output to produce Deny directives for parent network addresses where numerous clients share the same subnet. The parser stores the latest data and deletes the new input files before exiting.

Added a profile panel to the PingApplication class with a CardLayout to display the current feed profile. Also added methods to load profiles from a Java properties file and save new profiles.

Amended the main entry point method to take a second parameter for the feed profiles property file and created an initial configuration to test.
Added an internal reference to the Vector of items in LabelledSelectList so that new items can be identified. Updated the addItem(Object) method to check whether the item is new to add it, and to select the item that was passed.
