Rob Vesse commented on JENA-201:
--------------------------------

I think the generic dispatch pattern would be ideal but I don't really have the expertise in the relevant area of Java to implement that myself.  I was hoping that repackaging as a WAR would be relatively simple but I keep running into stumbling blocks.

The latest hiccup I've uncovered in my experimentation is that Fuseki includes servlet-api in its dependencies, if you try and run as a WAR within Tomcat it will complain because the spec says a WAR shouldn't include a copy of the servlet-api.

One possible workaround here would be to have a separate project for the WAR packing and declare the servlet-api as an optional dependency (http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-optional-and-excludes-dependencies.html) of the main Fuseki project so it doesn't get packaged by the WAR project, since optional dependencies of dependencies are not included.  The downside to this is that those using Fuseki as a library for a standalone server may have to explicitly add servlet-api back as a dependency
