I'm more than +1 about a merger between AJPv14 and WARP... The protocols are
pretty similar...

Cool... We can mirror changes around there...

The packet system of WARP is basically the one developed for AJPv21,
multiplexing (if we want to implement it) can be written on top of it, as an
extension to the packet layout...

Precisely the same exact approach... When you "deploy an app", tomcat
basically responds with two pieces of data (all enclosed in the protocol,
but it's not hard to figure that out), a root path (local to tomcat) where
the application is deployed and the list of "permitted" and "forbidden" URL
paths: basically, WebApp check if it can read the WEB-INF/web.xml file, and
if so, it automagically processes the list of allowed and denied URL
patterns supplied by tomcat to see what should be served locally:
In servlet 2.3 we have to "deny" any URL pattern associated with a servlet,
anything associated with a security constraint and anything that need to be
filtered (the last one is specific for 2.3).

server_rec->hostname , the server rec is passed to you in all config
functions, and the virtual host name is in there (check out mod_webapp.c in
the Apache 1.3 directory, or mod_jserv)...
