Right now there's basically two algorithms for finding servlets, one for extraPathInfo, one without (yes, ick). The one without can utilitize caching a bit more. No one (to my knowledge) has ever tested the two cases. There's been very little profiling of Webware, except for global "how many pages can Webware serve" kind of testing -- but I'm not exactly sure how you'd do it. I suppose a global profile would be sufficient for this, though. IMHO, the performance penalty for extraPathInfo should be negligible. Doing a few os.listdir()'s shouldn't take that long, and you still get some benefit of caching. Ian _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes?
