Hi, There's a hidden component in Tomcat 4 named "service" (package is org.apache.service), which has almost nothing to do with Tomcat (except it was written by Pier and started its life here). The most current version of it (which is *not* the one used by Tomcat, BTW) resides in the jakarta-tomcat-service repository (which I had completely forgotten until I saw JF recent commits).
I think the service package would live a happier life in the commons (the base interfaces + the native code); then, we can update the HEAD branch to use the commons package. Note: In the commons, there's already a "services" component. To avoid creating confusion, I suggest renaming the "service" component to "commons-daemon". Comments ? Votes ?
