I need to know the programming language that normally generates files
with the '.so' file extention and a link that points to a tutorial.

Hello Sergio19,

Are you using a Linux (or Unix) system? The .so file type refers to
shared object files generated by the linker (ld). If this is the case,
I can certainly point you to a tutorial on building shared object
files (as well as the advanages / disadvantages of them).

Please indicate the operating system you are using and if possible the
file name / location of the files you are referring to.

Hello and thanks for your reply. I can not point to the exact
location, but can tell you that the following urls are involved:

http://www.domain.com:8080/dir/default.do?requestPage=promo.page
http://www.domain.com:8080/dir/default.do?requestPage=user.update.page
http://www.domain.com:8080/dir/default.do?requestPage=customerservice.page

Is there a special relation from ".so" files and jsp? Or is perhapps
that I can generate ".so" files from any programming language, like
php?

Regards,

   Sergio19

Hello Sergio19,

Alas, none of those URL's appear to work for me (I tried a few
different paths / ISPs but no response).

Let me repeat my previous request
 - please indicate the operating system you are using.
 - please indicate the path on your system to the .so files
If using a Unix (or Linux) system, the first could be answered by the output of
  uname
or
  uname -sr
and the second could be answered by the output of
  whereis libc.so
or something like (replace /usr/lib with the directory and replace
libc.so with your filename)
  find /usr/lib -name "libc.so" -print
depending on the type of OS and utilities present on your system.

To answer the last question - if on a Unix system, the .so can be
generated for code from any compiled language. Java code (or JSP -
Java Server Pages) is usually interpreted (not complied) and so is PHP
- so neither could be in an .so file. But code from languages like
Ada, C, C++, and FORTRAN could be included in a properly generated .so
file.

I do not have access to the server, but I can tell you that it shows
to have Apache / Tomcat installed on it.

I need to verify that the files with either the '.so' or the '.do'
file extention can be generated from the Java programming language on
the Linux Operating System and need to know of a link that points to a
tutorial.

.so - A Shared Object in MicroFocus Cobol

Check out this link... might be of help
http://www.microfocus.com/mfnewsletter/20020401_004.asp

It's a library file, normally on a linux system. It's normally created
by a c compiler/linker.  In the context of Java, it's likely  a JNI
file which is created to access C-only libraries from inside of java
code, see:
