I would certainly be happy to consider it for a replacement to the
existing impl. However, since I am not a big user of the existing impl
(even though I started it a long, long time ago), I guess we need to
hear from people who work and rely on the current impl.
What would be cool, is if you could create a tar ball and make it
available so people could play with it. You could always create a JIRA
issue and attach it to that...that's the best way to get the ball
rolling to see if there is interest here for accepting it as a contribution.
Thanks.

Hi.
I have looked at the HttpService implementation in Felix and I had some
thoughts on how to improve the functionality. Over the past year I have
looked long and hard for a solution that has the following features:
* Run inside a WAR on a 3rd part container.
* Run stand-alone (using jetty).
* Has servlet filter support.
* Using whiteboard pattern for registering servlets / filters.
The road led me to Pax Web (supports filters, but only as a stand-alone
service) and Equinox Servlet Bridge (does not support filters). Whiteboard
registering pattern is implemented by the Pax guys, but does not support
filters inside a "bridged" environment.
So, eventually I was tired of looking for a solution out there and created
my own. This supports servlets and filters in both stand-alone and bridged
mode (WAR). Now I have come to a fork in the road. Should I donate the code
or host my own. I prefer to donate the code. But is the right place under
Felix umbrella or Pax Web umbrella? I see that more and more is created
under Felix and this implementation would be (in my opinion) a great
addition.
So, what do you guys think?
