Apologies for the public vs. internal API confusion. On the other hand,
it does seem reasonable that the classes and methods used for embedding
Tomcat should remain stable. Is the use of IntrospectionUtils pretty
standard when it comes to using Tomcat in an embedded environment? Or,
is this a case of a user using a Tomcat internal class for their own
convenience when it isn't really appropriate to do so?
