Maybe two years ago Tuscany got inspired to do the same with Tomcat and also pointed at what we now call TomEE. They basically took all the Tomcat integration code, said thank you, and went their separate way with it. I admit it was a little disappointing as we would have happily supported them and it would have been great to see the idea grow rather than be copied. It's been forked again recently for a commercial app server. Similar thanks and see you later. We're more than happy to support ServiceMix if you guys want to go down this route. The backup plan could of course be to take the code and run, but it would be great to at least give working together a shot. -David -- View this message in context: http://servicemix.396122.n5.nabble.com/DISCUSS-Rebooting-ServiceMix-5-tp4528896p4542986.html Sent from the ServiceMix - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
