What about etag support, for instance? Parsing paths? You'll end up with code that's cluttered up with servlet concerns, rather than what you're actually trying to do. Don't get me wrong — I like the servlet API. But the REST apis that have appeared over the last year or two are much easier to use. -Dom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
