Well, I can answer only from the perspective of one who ported it to Jboss. Since Slide has its own way of storing users, the integration for security with Tomcat is required. J2EE has a huge gap in the spec at this point. As for some of the hardcodedness, I haven't run across anything specific that was hardcoded while moving to JBoss. What are you seeing, maybe I just haven't run across it yet. I do know there is some JMX integration wrappers for Tomcat as well, which would have to be ported to JBoss to gain JMX capability (which JBoss rocks at, BTW). However, due to the Slide low-level API's nature of needing to direct connect to the kernel, this is a moot point for now.

(was Re: Authentication andJBoss) The module James has works wonderfully, but I think Ivan has touched on something that I have been wondering: why is Slide so Tomcat centric? Why all the wrapper classes? Why do those wrapper classes have hard-coded paths to the WAR files? It just doesn't make much sense nor does help make slide any easier to integrate in other containers. Jetty, to my knowledge, doesn't use wrappers so integrating Slide into Jetty isn't going to be as smooth. Anyone know why this is so?
