A study of common interface to this specialized ORB/HTTP
could be conducted now. Tomcat has no more than 3 differents
implementations (3.2/3.3/4.0)...
It will be profitable to all tomcat community to have people
from differents teams 3.2/3.3/4.0 speak of this subject...

The best solution will came from discussion in tomcat-dev.
And if there is no discussion here, I suggest you ask the question
to others communities, for example the one from jetty.org
