Just to ckeck what you're saying here. Do you plan to
include this "merge query and post" operation overtly in
the next release of the spec as well as covertly in
servletrunner?
I was astonished when I moved from my own 1.0 compatible
engine to Apache Jserv and found thet it doesn't merge
these sources. I had to redesign my application interface.
Please ensure that the next release of the JSDK spec
specifies this useful behaviour.
Frank.
