Servlet Info WebApp

Ferris Servlet Info WebApp is a simple servlet which dumps a bunch of info about the request, session, init-params, and server machine to the page for troubleshooting purposes.  It also includes an AJAX call back to the server which can be started and stopped with the "Start" and "Stop" buttons and how many seconds between AJAX calls is determined by the number in the input text box.  When the AJAX response is received, the data on the page is replaced by whatever the server sent back.  This WebApp is especially helpful troubleshooting clustered environments.

Clone the Mavenized project from GitHub (https://github.com/mjremijan/ferris-servletinfo). 

Here is what the information on the page looks like (IP address information has been blacked out)
