As discussed in:

and less radical in
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=113822674300001&r=1&w=2
There would be a lot to gain by basing our environment abstraction on
the javax.servlet.http set of interfaces in trunk. I propose that we make:
o.a.c.environment.Request extend javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest
o.a.c.environment.Response extend javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse
o.a.c.environment.Context extend javax.servlet.ServletContext
o.a.c.environment.Session extend javax.servlet.http.HttpSession
o.a.c.environment.Cookie extend javax.servlet.http.HttpCookie
This shouldn't create any compatibility problems, it will make it easier
to integrate Cocoon with the rest of the world, it will simplify the
architecture, and it would be a great advantage for the block
architecture work.
I assume that we should go for servlet 2.3 as trunk use that, but I have
no strong opinions about it. Please comment if you think 2.4 would be a
better idea.
Please cast your vote.
