I hope you don't mind me answering your e-mail
to the list, I think this deserves some discussion.
This is exactly what we've been doing, but it
requires fiddling with the libs of the servlet
engine, something I don't want to do!
I want to be able to separate the libs of the servlet
engine from the libs of my web-app, is it possible?
The whole idea behind web-apps collapses if the
deployer needs to do some exercises with the
jars of the servlet engine!
