If you want to change the session class, then maybe you should change that class directly instead of trying to change the AppServer. If you want to create an entirely new session class, I can understand the problem. Even then, couldn't you modify the instance variable of the AppServer after the fact? I mean, *I'm* not opposed to making local subclassing possible, and I don't think anyone else is (like you say, most of the code is already there with this in mind) -- but I'm also not sure it's necessary. It's purely in a desire to be minimal that I'm being skeptical. You mentioned sessions before -- what specifically do you want to do? I.e., which class do you want to subclass (since there's a lot of candidates)? > Perhaps addContext() should be maintaining a list of contexts which have > been initialized, rather than just initializing them if addContext() is the > actual place where they are loaded? I don't follow this, though. If you're looking for something with somewhat different semantics than addContext, maybe a plugin that uses InstallInWebKit(appServer)?
