What about using the existing servlet API for other types of services?
I try to write yet-another-servlet-engine, and to do that I am using
a JVM-embeded-in-apache-apr.
It seems to work fine ( i.e. no more core in the last week:-), so I try to
create a nice
API to allow to write apache modules in Java - and the interface
I have now can be "morphed" into Servlet ( since I'm writing the engine
anyway).
Do you think this would be a hammer/nail case?
( I am very intrested in any comments on this issue, I would apreciate
any ideeas.)
