ServerServlet, in particular, needs a good way of doing this; in idiomatic use it creates its own Component and initializes the Application whose class name you pass as an initialization parameter. Unless I've missed something obvious (wouldn't be the first time), it's messy to get this component and add in any extra protocols needed. Maybe we should add some extra servlet initialization parameters to help do it. - R
