Hi Kevin,
I'm glad to hear about your work on the integration of Tomcat with
jBoss. I can't wait to see it.
It's an interesting question, where the jBoss-Tomcat stuff should
go. If we put it in the normal hierarchy, we'll need to have all the
Tomcmat stuff available during the build. Just to get a discussion
going, let me suggest a three-part approach. What do you think
about:
1. Putting things that depend on both jBoss and Tomcat in a new
"tomcat integration" project, or if the code is too compact to merit
this treatment, putting it in the "contrib" directory
2. Including instructions for configuring an ant build to use jBoss
and Tomcat libraries
3. Including binary versions of interceptors in the zipped
distribution, with a "readme" for their use
I'm not sure about the APL / GPL licensing problems. But I'm sure
plenty of other people will be. :-)
(By the way, my "security integration" with Tomcat was basically
one import and two lines of code added to an existing file as an
example. I probably should have just put a diff on the list, but I was
afraid that people might be using different versions of the file. Did
you just set the principal and credential in SecurityAssociation?)
