Or probably you're not fond enough about HTTP, servlets and their similarities or differences from the SMTP and the email world to see that in most cases they cannot coexist. While saying that, I'm not telling you that you're ignorant, nor I want to offend you in any way, but me, Stefano, Federico (the main developer of James and Avalon), James (the author of the Servlet APIs) spent so much time between October 1998 and October 1999 thinking about those concepts, that nowdays I'm focused with our "global" vision of the world. Anyway, if you think that these two models can coexist, please don't hesitate to try making me change my idea... bacause if so, maybe, one day, we'll get out (once again) our servlet spec, and kick asses :) Pier -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- - P I E R - stable structure erected over water to allow the docking of seacraft -------------------------------------------------------------------- - ApacheCON Y2K: Come to the official Apache developers conference - -------------------- --------------------
