It has been developed separately (by you alone), with zero input from the Tomcat community, does only share the interfaces and probably some of the modules (realms and some thing like that, I presume) with Catalina, so as far as I am concerned, any way you look at it, it is currently a fork. Of course, that's how it currently is, it may not remain that way :) Remy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
