*Tim:

1) thanks for sharing!
2) there is an error in my first post; I really meant mode 2:
The "/WEB-INF/web.xml" file contains a parameter named
"org.restlet.component". Its value must be the path of a class that
inherits from |Component|
<http://www.restlet.org/documentation/2.0/$%7Bedition.id%7D/api/org/restlet/Component.html>.
It is used to instantiate and attach the described component,
contained applications and connectors.
3) I have several components running on a different tomcat context
paths in the same tomcat;
4) re: "Without autoWire=true, I'd have to code paths differently
depending on how I was deploying the Component."
this is exactly my point: with autoWire=false and patternUri like
this: getDefaultHost().attach("/{servletId}/mail", new MailApp());
you get extra attribute in the request: {servletId} which is tomcat
context path; so inside your attached app you deal with uri like
this: "/accounts"
this allows me to run "staging" and "release" components in the same
tomcat on different context paths;
5) re: "I also do most testing as a standalone Component, and I
wrote about the details these multiple deployment possibilities here:"
me too! I have a launcher to simulate servlet environment;
Thank you,
Andrei
