Hi Jules. A few comments. First, you made changes without discussing them on the dev lists.
As per the discussions in the past, both Aaron and David Jencks, as well as I threw in our .02 on how to integrate the clustering. I would appreciate you discuss code ideas and changes that have such a drastic impact on the Geronimo code base. Here are the issues with your check in: 1) I explained before for Jetty, and obviously now I need to do it for Tomcat, a -1 on Axion as a dependency. There should not be any web application dependencies injected at the container level. This means there is a severe architectural issue with WADI when we are injecting these dependencies into the container. 2) You hard coded in org.codehaus.wadi.tomcat55.TomcatManager as the distributablesession manager in the TomcatContainer. Hardcoding a pluggable session engine is very bad, and defeats the pluggability of a configuration that we requested. 3) You placed log.info() in the code, and Aaron worked pretty hard to clean those up. 4) Your integration of setting the manager (no matter what) is a direct clash with the Jules, I am giving a complete -1 of checkin of 368344. These are all for technical reasons. Please back out these changes, and bring this discussion to the Geronimo lists as this needs some significant discussion for implementation. I would appreciate that you please involve the Apache way and open discussions on the lists before doing this sort of thing in the future. Again, I will CC the G lists to make this clear, that I would like this change backed out.
