I am one of those people (as 70% of my programming is Java Servlet based
projects) and will also write up something since our approach to making a
Perl compatible API to our servlet toolkit was decidedly different than
Brian's approach.
We took an approach that architecturally the two environments are so
different that having a direct 1-1 mapping was not practical (doable but
not entirely practical). So the comments I have to make relate to that more
than anything.
Whereas Brian's approach is more low level and a more direct attempt
(mostly successful I believe) to make the Java Servlet API transfer
directly to mod_perl as much as possible if I understand it.
Anyway, I am traveling on business right now so my connection is spotty for
the next couple of days. I will try very hard to write this up soon though.
Later,
Gunther
