There are MANY excellent things (I've read) about servelets. Primarily,
they handle many of the things this thread has been talking about -
sessions (via cookies & URL), caching, etc. I personally am very happy
to hear your news. There are so many cool projects in the works, I don't
think I'll ever have enough time to properly evaluate them all!

Cool! These things are some of the features java folks are always
touting when comparing mod_perl to servelets. Keep up the great work.
I'm sure many people on the list will be very interested.
