Actually I have to say i don't like such approach.
When you buid up an html site you do not want to say to your web server
"I have these folders. If they ask for an html look for it in every
forder in that order". It no not makes any sense to me.
I'd like to something more similar to Jserv repository because you can
define security send boxes using different classloader and you have a
more explicit and error proof way of writing the mailet pipe. In my
opinion servletpackages mess up things and I don't see any advantage.
-1 for me.
Can't understand why you don't like
class="<repositoryname>.<classname>".
Anyway the repository="<repositoryname"> class="<classname>" does not
sound bad to me.
