Hi Piyush,
I have considered 2) when designing the Application class, I called it
nested applications. But, I came to the conclusion that this was not
required. As a VirtuaHost is a Router, you can attach several Applications
to it with overriding URI namespaces. For example:
VirtualHost vh = new VirtualHost(...);
vh.attach("/root/app1", app1);
vh.attach("/root/app1/app2", app2);
This is possible thanks to the default routing mode (BEST_MATCH).
Concerning your point 1), I don't see the use cases for it. Do you want to
share some kind of state between the applications? Can you give more details
about your requirement?
Best regards,
Jerome
