I'm not sure why String - URL wouldn't be cross-platform.

WRT licenses, LGPL is incompatible with AL2, so you'd have to get the author to
grant the code to the ASF under a different license.

I'm sorry for this decision.

An other reason (that I not mentioned before) is the cross-platform
portability: we'd like to develop our software in a minimalistic way,
developed and tested with Tomcat, but installable and usable also in other
application servers (we can't force our customers to adopt the Tomcat, as you
understand...).

As far as I know, the URL is managed by everybody else...
We'll try with the other containers. But honestly I hope that you rethink this
decision...


For the second issue (licensing), I can re-write the class, or you can see the
(probably better) org.ow2.easybeans.naming.url.URLFactory of library
easybeans-naming (that is LGPL)

--- Comment #1 from Mark Thomas ma...@apache.org ---
The primary reason for rejecting this enhancement request is that it is
unnecessary. Simply use an environment entry of type String [1] and use that to
construct a URL if you really need a URL. That has the added advantage of being
more likely to be portable between servlet containers.

A secondary issue is that there is no clear license for the referenced code and
no indication that the author is willing to submit it to the ASF.
