There were pros and cons about the move from examples into the main source tree. I think the triggering point was that the servlet sees real use and doesn't really qualify as an "example". I agree that with today's build it may not be so obvious what is necessary to build the WAR file (the various parts are distributed in the source tree). But the WAR file gets built automatically today. Proposal: I like your ideas. I also think that we have to preserve the simplicity of the servlet as an educational example for people who want to play with it. So what about resurrecting the examples/servlet but keeping it real simple? Just the basics. And the servlet in the main source tree stays where it is but gets your new features. German speaking Swiss people would say you get "de Föifer und's Weggli" (freely translated to english: the 5 cent piece and the donut. Meaning: You get twice as happy. Want to know what a "Weggli" is? Go to http://www.jowa.ch/1776/1846/1847/1865/1867.asp). :-) On 17.01.2004 21:52:06 John Austin wrote: <some good stuff/> Jeremias Maerki
