I didn't do any real benchmark, but the single-jar 5.5 should be as fast on startup as 3.3. good Less class loaded - and less classes/features you need to worry when setting up and maintainig is what I meant by footprint - Jetty is around 0.5M I think. what's the expected class/size for

Sorry, so far nobody has had the sense to propose returning to the good old TC 3.3 Interceptors ;-). It looks like Evolution is here to stay. I don't know if Interceptors would be a good solutions but I'd really like to have something similar to Apache modules.

Well, it's not about 'vote' or plans, it's more about what people have time to do. I have checked in the build files for a 'standalone' tomcat in the sandbox, I've been using the single jar almost exclusively, seems to work fine. But I have a feeling I'm the only one interested in this :-).
