I don't think it was security reasons. My understanding is that people
were expecting the JSDK to be a fully supported webserver when it was
not. We have a fully supported product (JWS), so the decision was made
to only have the JSDK serve servlets and not files to make the
distinction clear. Of course, if a web server can't serve files, it's
pretty much useless for development use, so for 2.1 it's back in. We'll
just make it very clear in the readme that this is not a commercial
product, but a reference implementation.
