Going to agree with Remy: I don't like it. But since it is optional, and off by default, I can't come up with a valid reason to support a veto. So as long as Tim is willing to continue supporting this feature, I don't see a problem. Where I see a problem is if Tim gets tired of supporting this, and leaves it to the rest of us to deal with user questions (e.g. the /admin webapp, which was abandoned when Amy went to GlassFish). TC in it's 3.3.x and 4.0.x days tried to support all sorts of addons, and most of them failed (Mark is still trying to maintain CGI, and SSI, but nobody else is). Now, I'd prefer that TC is just the Servlet/JSP container that it is meant to be, and not try to add on proprietary features. But that is just me ;). > Rémy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
