I recently installed Tomacat 6.0 and see that I now need to make my web application privalaged in order to use InvokerServlet to allow users to execute arbitrary servlets. This seems to continue a trend that may eventually result in Invoker being widthdrawn.

My question is why is allowing execution of arbitrary servlets so discouraged. In my opinion JSPs are essentially servlets with a differnt deployment convention and there is no prohibition on running jsps without "registering them."

I like to build web applications with hundreds of servlets and I prefer not to explicitly define each one in web.xml. Is there any sanctioned method of doing this in a tomcat world?
