The feeling that I got from this list is that the supplied WebServer shouldn't really be used for production work. Do others feel the same? I have had a look at the commons daemon package, bu couldn't really get my head around it. Is anyone on the list using it, or have some simple code examples indicating how to use it with xml-rpc. My issue with it is that I need to return control after the start method has run, but webserver.start() does not return control. Any thoughts?
