I have not run paperclips against sablevm. I'll install debian's and
see what happens.

But Paperclips definitely works. I just tested it again with the files
you submitted to me. 

So it looks like it might be a sable problem. We'll find out.

I can't remember what the status of CGIServlet is.

But you could write a method to start paperclips and bind the servlet
for you automatically.

Do you want to know how to do that?


btw using server.xml for this is fine. Unlike some other servlet
containers I could mention, Paperclips allowed deployers to override
anything that is specified in a web.xml with similar constructs in a
server.xml.

Why not use server.xml?
