The 'product' of tomcat-dev is a _community_, not a servlet container. And I will -1 any Tomcat 5 proposal that doesn't address this problem and is acceptable to both 3.x and 4.x people. It can be either a merge of 3.x with 4.x, or it can start from scratch with a list of requirements and proposals ( like Xerces 2 or Axis ), discussed one by one and then implemented by everyone. I hope we'll not end with an ant2 model, with 2-3 different competing 'proposals' ( all with cat-derived names, but little else in common ). The work in j-t-c and jasper is a good start. And if Tomcat 5 will have both valves and interceptors - but a single community behind it - then it'll be a success.
