Remy, >If our helper object for embedding doesn't fit your needs, I suggest you >write your own instead. It doesn't take long, and it will do what you want >(including having an interface, so it fits into your virtual OS dream). > I am talking about Avalon (another Jakarta project). It is not a 'dream' We already have a third-party web server running in it - Hendrik Schreiber's most excellent 'Jo!'. It is quite embarrasing that we do not yet (but are so close) have Catalina running in it.

The change is not useless as you say. I was not incorrect suggesting another reason for interface/impl separation (it was not new to you dude, it had just slipped your mind) was I?. It is such a small thing to do. Please dude..... Regards, - Paul H -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
