I can't believe it. We finally agree on something :) LOL We've built our
'Versital (tm)' system exactly like that, feature-packed to accomodate 'true
application' requirements. Although we have found that using multiple entry
points (multiple servlets for the same application) can have important
advantages in exceptional cases. Although in that context, the importance of
different entry points is directly related to the way those entry points are
mapped in a web server document tree.
