(Want proof? Just go back to the > sources for Tomcat 3.0, but don't do this on a full stomach ;-). > > Over the last couple of years, I've been a big-time > contributor on Tomcat (Catalina's architecture is basically > what Apache JServ 2.0 was going to be), Struts (I'm the > primary architect), and Commons.
