Well, why do you think I left that project??? :-)

Poor baby of mine! :-)

Do you want a name now? Nah, we don't want to start a flamewar (again).

Hahahahaha! :-) Old Egyptian is easier :-)

My baby part 2... I know, it was sad to "leave it behind", but consciously,
it couldn't have been integrated in the Tomcat stack anyway: I would have
had to rewrite major parts of the Tomcat internals to make it work
"properly"...

Well, Jetty does what Tomcat does in 1/2 a meg, it is faster, and yeah,
there are some bugs, but the people behind it are nice (well, you've met
Greg yourself, and he's a great guy).
Once we get some incompliancy issues sorted out. You have to admit that
Cocoon uses 101% of the servlet container, so stuff like deployment under
"/" (being the default servlet) is not something that everyone does.
Once we sort out all the issues, and have Jetty working for us, IMO, we're
going to have a very workable solution.

Yes, indeed, Apache is _da_ webserver... I wouldn't run even my 2-hits/month
of my home page without it... It's just its design
(multi-process/multi-thread) which makes so much sense... You CAN'T crash
it.
On nagoya, to connect Tomcat and Apache I use mod_proxy which works just
_fine_, and really, you don't need much more unless you don't start having a
_shuvload_ of requests...
I see a connector != from mod_proxy only when you'll need to go down to
native to get performance out of it... But that's a choice you have to
carefully evaluate...

Err... There are 4 implementations... 3.3, 4.0, 4.1 and 5.0 :-)

Well, you know where my native code for the connector is :-) Right now, my
suggestion is: use Jetty and proxy-pass HTTP requests through Apache :-) In
the long-ish term, we'll see! :-) :-)
