Hi Folks,
As you know, Carbon servers can run in standalone mode or can be deployed
within an Application Server. This has caused us major architectural
constraints & issues since we have to start an OSGi container within the
Carbon webapp, while the Carbon webapp itself runs within a servlet
container. We've had to put in many ugly workarounds to make this setup
work, and still have some limitations. If we drop support for running Carbon
as a webapp, then we can simply start an OSGi container, and run the servlet
container as a bundle deployed on this OSGi container. Also, now that we
have support for deploying webapps, it doesn't make sense to have a webapp
(Carbon) which allows you to deploy other webapps within it, This will be
architecturally clean as well.

So, is every in agreement with going ahead with this? Thoughts welcome.
