Good idea Craig, Few weeks back I also had a chance to look into the servlet bridge, and found it very interesting. I was planning to make use of it for pax-runner. I can probably give a shot probably afer 2-3 weeks, unless someone else takes it up already :).
Anyway, I think that should go in as an issue that we can track. Should I create an issue for it?
