Added new FAQ answers in many categories and created a new Java abstract classes FAQ section, extracted from the Java inheritance FAQ. Moved the ServletConfig and ServletContext comparison answer to the servlets area.
Added SQL WHERE clauses to the premium FAQ check script to ensure that URL-only questions are not selected. Added getPremiumMenuUrl() and setPremiumMenuUrl(String) methods to the Section interface and FaqSection implementation, and adapted FaqDataEditor to the new configuration. Removed synchronized block around getParentSectionName() method of FaqSection, which had been causing data loss on update.
Renamed the server side include for the Java servlets subsection head element to follow standard naming scheme in all other areas (changed database references too). Added all current FAQ sections to the table of contents include files for Java servlets and servers and JTidy content directories. Created a new Java servlets & JSP index page with table of contents inclusion, mainly for search engine indexing. Extracted "call to action" include files for servlets in action and Anchor points: Java & servlets articles.

Created new Windows batch script to process the font survey submissions for user agent, to check client compatibility with the font survey applet object markup scheme. Created a new serialized IPMap data file for font survey clients.
