Hi Alin, Thanks for your reply. I am continuing the Spring DM mailing list thread here. (I thought of not mixing PAX questions on the Spring DM list)
Few questions on the subject. AFAI Understand, Pax Web reads the web.xml programmatically and transilates the calls the HTTP service spec compliance. There seems a duplication effort on the side since this is what the Web Containers do. Don't we have a cleaner way of doing the same thing where we avoid parsing the web.xml and probably other configuration files. Lets think of container doing the routine job of reading and deplying the web applications and we provide a service layer that confirms to the OSGi HTTP Specificaions. Don't know if my thinking is going right, but please correct me if I am going wrong. Also, taking the PAX Web in its current development state (v0.4.1) , how much production quality is it? I think the major version indicates it well. How good is the Spring DM supported on the PAX Web? Are all features of Spring DM available?
