If you read this far - I don't want to start a flame war, but I appreciate all feedback :-). My current goal is to 'graduate' the first 2 components, the others can stay longer in sandbox or be moved out - but since they rely on the first 2 I would have to clone a lot of tomcat code. I think

Thanks for all the answers so far - I'll start a new thread for the first part of the process, with more details on the coyote changes. The help I need most is review and comments from people who spent most time with coyote. The goal of tomcat-lite is to be small and simple - hopefully it wont
