+1.
Will it be required to build ?

I was planning to do that, but as I already have a number of items in my
tasklist it would have taken a while before I applied them.
TC 4.1 should be running fine again. There are no known issues (even with
WebDAV) except an unimplemented call in the ServletContext.
The "old" Resources are now gone and replaced with JNDI DirContext. After a
few adjustements are made, the DefaultServlet / WebdavServlet should be able
to serve resources from any DirContext implementation (of course, if the
result of a lookup isn't the special wrapper type Resource or an input
stream, the string representation of the object will be served, which isn't
that useful).
The JARs which are in the /WEB-INF/lib directory in the webapp are still
loaded from the filesystem, which may or may not be a problem. Classes in
/WEB-INF/classes are correctly loaded through URLs. I know why this happen,
and there's no easy way around. One solution I found is providing a more
complete classloader for the webapps. I'll try to do that, see how good or
bad it turns out, and commit it if it works ok (it will be called
WebappClassLoader).
I'll probably do some clenup work in DefaultServlet and WebdavServlet next,
as the algorithms could be made more efficient (they were adapted for the
Resources' naming conventions, which were not the same as the JNDI naming
conventions).
I'd like to make a few proposals :
- Move the org.apache.naming package and subpackages, which is part of the
Catalina subproject right now, and make it an independent Tomcat subproject.
- Do the same for the org.apache.catalina.util package (and rename it
org.apache.tomcat.util).
