Ok, I just looked at some of the source...some thoughts:
#1. It isn't JDK 1.1. At least it uses some of the collections api stuff.
#2. It doesn't auto start/stop the JVM and the protocol is really basic.
#3. It has a boat load of hard coded paths and other weirdness in it.
#4. It looks like it was developed by one single person in a dark room.
Collaborative OS development is much better imho.
#5. Given that there are no real tests for JSDK 2.2 compatibility except for
Moo, I would like to see how it *really* stands up to its claim of
compatibility.
#6. Tomcat wasn't written for speed, so claiming this is 2-3 times faster
isn't a big deal. No shit. we could have told you that without testing (and
have told you that on the tomcat lists lots of times).
Personally I don't give a shit about someone else re-inventing the wheel. I
would think that this person is really trying to compete against commercial
offerings instead of Jakarta or Java Apache considering that they are
wasting effort coming up with a competing engine that competes against the
OS reference implementation. Why not help a single cause instead?
So, go use it. If it works better for you all the better for you! ;-) I'm
gonna stick right here and keep working towards a single reference standard
that kicks all ass. ;-)
