That's a good example of WHY specifications should be followed... The whole
idea behind servlets is exactly this, allowing you to switch container
whenever you want without having to go thru a load of crap to "port" your
application from one to another... It's the beauty of Java, and what we're
fighting for since day zero in JServ land...
Too bad that JRun has never been "friendly" to this approach... Too bad,
their fault, we're not going to change :)
