I've started adding the new methods (I'm a developer in the Apache JServ
project, working on version 1.1), but its kinda hard to validate without even
having a servlet.jar to compile against. Properly supporting the security and
roles stuff is going to be a lot more work than adding the buffering changes
and so on
IMHO, the Tomcat source release to Jakarta will probably be the first 2.2
implementation.

Something to keep in mind ... just because the "distributable" attribute is
valid in a deployment descriptor does NOT mean that any given server will
support load balancing and distribution. It's not a required feature.
For example, I suspect that Jakarta's Tomcat will probably not have this in
the beginning (no, I have not seen the code either), although it's certainly
something that could be added. Building on what Apache JServ 1.0 already has
in this regard should be feasible, depending on how the connector between
Apache and the servlet engine is built.
