Hello all,
I have been following the list with quite fascination since it began. The
volume of traffic has been quite overwhelming to say the least.
I noticed early on that a conscious decision has been made to avoid developing a servlet and JSP engine and rather rely on embedding either Tomcat or Jetty. Is this correct?
Yes. The web container module is already in CVS - though I've personally not tried it yet.
If this is the case, is there a rationale decision for this? If we are
developing everything from scratch, then why not the servlet and JSP engine
as well? It makes more sense than embedding other implementations.
We're not developing everything from scratch. We're reusing any good existing open source, which is suitably licensed, to create a full J2EE stack. So for sure Tomcat / Jetty will be the Servlet engines.
