I think you meant to say JNI instead of JNDI calls to the OS. It's a bit misleading to say it's fast as hell on Windows without mentioning that it runs on Linux as well. SWT is what Swing should have been. Native calls for OS supported widgets, java imitations for other widgets. Dave

Hi; I'm looking at the v1.0.2 ActionServlet's addServletMapping() method, and I'm noticing that it only handles the case where the ActionServlet has one servlet mapping associated with it. But it's legal (is it not?) to establish several servlet mappings for a Servlet under the 2.2 spec, right?
