The org.apache.tomcat.service is the original code, that is part of tomcat3.2, tested, etc. org.apache.tomcat.modules.server is a refactoring, using more hooks in the interceptors and with an attempt to separate the protocol itself from the tomcat "glue" ( i.e. make Http, Ajp12, Ajp13 more "independent" and reusable, with the interceptors as glue that uses a particular protocol ). We can certainly remove the old code, I think the new code works fine enough ( as with all refactorings, it's almost the same code, just a different packaging ) - and in case something gets wrong we can find the old code in the Attic. Since you are reviewing the code, I certainly hope to hear back sugestions and maybe get some help to improve the code :-) A documentation of Ajp13, and a proposal for authentication and extensible callbacks would also be great :-) ( the original author of Ajp13 did a great job, but he is very busy and there are many improvements that can be made ) > Can anyone enlighten me? And can the unused files be removed from cvs? org.apache.tomcat.modules. is used for the new code that will end up in 3.3. The old files will be removed from cvs ( soon ) Costin
