Original question below:
I received several suggestions on this. First, a reply from Sun Contract
Support:
The AnswerBook was not designed with access control in mind. There is no
plan to add it. There is no way to convert the answer book documentation
into html. Run AnswerBook as a cgi process through your web server. Go
to http://docs.sun.com to access documentation.
All wonderful suggestions. Let me be the first to congratulate Sun on
such a wonderful product. BTW the documentation I was trying to put on
the web is for the Workshop 5.0 compilers which comes with NO
DOCUMENTATION OTHER THAN ANSWERBOOK. Again well done, Sun!
Other suggestions include:
* Block the port at the firewall (can't do it)
* Run as a cgi process (would probably be too slow, but I might have to
give it a try)
* Download the doc from Sun in pdf format (lose link capability, etc.)
