I'll second that. And besides that, I think you should avoid coding directly
to orion classes. So don't override anything in orion's JSPServlet.
Perhaps you should start by reading the servlet 2.3 and jsp 1.2 spec from
sun, they describe everything compliant containers should provide. The
obvious advantage being that your app will run under orion and tomcat alike
(that is, when tomcat will have implemented the same version as orion does).
