I've updated the target platform slightly to add dependencies necessary 
to have a web container on the edge server.  We can now deploy war files 
to the server.  Here is what I did:

1) Updated spring from 2.5.5 to 2.5.6.  Before there was only one jar 
(spring.jar) that contained the spring framework.  Since I had to update 
to 2.5.6, there are now lots of smaller bundles.  These are all in the 
spring folder.  This also required me to add a few package imports in 
some of our bundles (such as the reader plugins).

2) Added tomcat.  Jochen would like to be running jetty instead of 
tomcat, however I am having trouble getting jetty to process jsps.  The 
spring dm examples that I've found use an embedded tomcat, so that is 
what I'm doing for right now until I have some time to replace it with 
jetty.

3) Updated the slf4j and log4j logging bundles.  We have a fragment to 
the log4j bundle that supplies a lo4j configuration, and I had to update 
this one to have the host bundle be the new log4j bundle.

4) separated out all apache commons bundles into a commons directory

5) separated out all javax bundles into a javax directory

6) created a new target file that includes the new web stuff.  Its 
called org.rifidi.edge.web.target

7) created a new run configuration that starts up the edge server with 
the web server.  Its called Edge Server (web).

I really hope that I did not break anything. Everything is tested an 
working on my end. I will commit all my changes at once so it will be 
easier to roll back if there is a problem.  I will be online monday 
morning to work out any  problems that might come up.
