Yes, they are. The spec defines many ways to define some things (not a very good idea IMO), like it has many places where you can put the TLD. > I just downloaded the new servlet draft - and it seems the welcome file > it defines is still unimplementable and violates all the current > practices... I've been saying that for a while in a few messages if you look at the archives. I've been emailing the spec people while I was working at Sun, but I have been politely ignored on that issue :-( Oh well, if it's not implementable, then we won't implement it ;-) I'll make a proposal soon (let's say by wed) to rewrite the mapper, and it will partially handle the new spec requirements. > I'm beginning to wonder who is Apache's representative to > the JCP and how will he make the decision on what to vote...
