The general practice on JSRs is to do a "clean room" implementation of the javax.* classes, taking special care to not introduce any additional public or protected variables or methods, or alter any of the method signatures (doing any of this would cause a failure of the signature tests in the TCK later on). That's what Tomcat did for the servlet and JSP api calsses (in the CVS modules jakarta-servletapi-4 and jakarta-servletapi-5), and what Geronimo did in one of their modules as well. Craig
