(IMO, the old auth matching rules > were not very good) I was hoping for a pfd4, but it doesn't look like it's coming out anytime soon :-(. It's a pretty big change to conform to pfd3 (which is a completely nonsensical requirement :), so I was playing the wait-and-see game. Of course, I'm more than happy to do the grunt work to bring Tomcat into compliance with pfd3. However, if the spec changes to something sensible, then that means two big (e.g. changing interfaces in o.a.c) API changes. > > Remy > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >
