Hi Kevan, This is a very good subject. I am an experienced Java/J2EE application developer but only have the experience how to use a Web server, never develop a Web server. I can try. But I do not know how it can work out. So many things new to learn. If you can find a supervisor for me, it would be awesome. He give me a direction and I implement his idea. We can work together. It will be much fast than I act alone. How do you think? Another topic I am very interested is concurrency programming. I made commercial one 8 years ago and people still use it, but I know it was not good one after I read the book "Java Concurrency in practice". Now I believe I can do much, much better on this topic. Thanks Fei Li

But if IBM takes an anti-Oracle position, then I do not know. That's not how it works in an Apache community. If users are interested in the capability and someone in the community is interested in developing (and supporting) it, barring architectural/technical/legal objections, it will happen. A plugin, on it's own, would not generate much in the way of architectural/technical objections... If the plugin was driving a lot of changes in other parts of the server, then there might be some objections. But, I doubt that would happen... So, assuming there aren't legal/licensing issues, there's nothing preventing this... Perhaps you're interested in helping to develop it? ;-) --kevan
