Are you kidding?!?!  This is already supported by OpenSG!!!   That is 
wonderful.  :) :) 

I continue to be amazed at all the power of OpenSG that is unknown to

Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
Get stuff done quickly with pre-integrated technology to make your job easier.
