are you sure you read correctly? if you mean the piece im reading, 
which is:
SRV 1.2:
All servlet _/containers/_ must support HTTP as a protocol for requests 
and responses, but additional request/response based protocols [...] 
may be supported.

The servlet *container* is tomcat, so my servlet would not be required 
to support http.

ok, ill read again, i prolly just got it wrong =)

it would be nice if you told me where you find this restriction to 
servlets.

nick
