That's me. It depends on what you need if you need XSP then you are right Apache2::TomKit doesn't provide this (because I always hated those XSP and couldn't find any reason to provide them within the core distro of TomKit) but it shouldn't be rocket science to port it to TomKit most likely the only thing you need to change from AxKit1 is to modify the Processor interface.

As already said the key problem when porting AxKit1 1:1 to Apache2 is that there are parts written in C binding directly to Apache1-APIs. > > I dont want to blame anybody not doing the things I would like to have, > I should do them by myself. > Tom
