If this makes things work for all containers then it is a practical
solution for the problem. Provided that this doesn't screw anyone else
up. Henning, if you are sure this makes things work nicely for everyone
then I support the change.
Jon, people don't have time to chase down vendors to fix things and even
if they started the process it could take forever. If you are not
prepared to personally help in the process of getting iPlanet to fix
their implementation then the change should stay, again provide it works
for everyone. It's just plain silly to screw people not using an OSS
servlet containers where they don't have access to fix things easily.
Some people don't have a choice over what container they use and
obviously don't have the time to go tracking down developers for
iPlanet.
What practical value is there in forcing this change to be backed out?
It's not really helping anyone. And it certainly doesn't make Turbine
look good in that we won't make exceptions for errant containers.
