Hey Accumulators, I was thinking about this, and couldn't find the appropriate JIRA, so I'm brining it up on the mailing list.
I think I'm opposed to packaging the monitor as a WAR and trusting users to figure out how to make that work. - We'll have to develop community knowledge on several technologies to provide support. Some users will prefer Tomcat, some Jetty, others JBoss, etc... When a problem is reported, it will be hard to tell if it's a container issue or an Accumulo issue, all adding to our support burden. - We'll have to seriously rework a bunch of tests to set up containers for the Monitor. - I don't think this would gain us anything in terms of security, and might make things like KRB trickier to use. This isn't a complete list, but I would be interested in having this conversation. I don't know how much work has already been done on the topic (Christopher?). Thanks, Mike
