I have been running RC4 for a couple of days and it seems to be fairly stable. I would recommend release it as 7.0.0 Beta.
However, there is an issue with the el. It can't deal with literals, which will be a problem for all applications using JSF converters. There was a similar issue when Tomcat 6.0.2. came out. You can go back in the mailing list archive read message in tomcat-dev Nov. 29, 2006 16:39:21 GMT and titled "Problem with JSF 1.2 converters in Tomcat 6.0.2": http://marc.info/?l=tomcat-dev&m=116482838430229&w=2 I sent a message to Rémy, who handled that issue back then, but haven't got news back from him. I know we discussed el licensing a while back on the list. Hopefully it will not be a problem modifying that code.
