Ok, Christopher - we're not stupid engineers in need for an intro course on performance. I think it's obvious that tomcat3.3 has 'improved performance' over 3.2, and 4.1 has 'improved performance' over 4.0. I don't think anyone can argue with that, and we don't have any test suite to prove it.

I hope that Tomcat 5.0 proposal draft won't turn in a battle or flame war between Tomcat and Avalon commiters. Why ? Because we had just too many flams wars in tomcat-dev between tomcat 3.3 and tomcat 4.x teams. Tomcat 5.0 appears to be a way to have both teams works again together to make a be

I'm also -1 on Avalon - same reasons as Remy, plus more ( the IoC madness/obsession, the over-design, ever-changing interfaces, logkit, etc.) Some components are good, and the move to commons is great - but I'm strongly -1 on using the framework. Costin On Fri, 21 Jun 2002, Remy Maucherat

Remy, I hear you. Current Avalon is what you say. Next Avalon will be what it was supposed to be in the first place. I respect you and your judgement; if you could give me additional hints on what the problem is about for using Avalon here, I would sincerely be grateful. Anyway, as I tried to

A big +1 for that draft. Things I'd like to see in TC 5.0. Delegation: don't decode full HTTP headers until user code ask for (ie locales(), ssl certs) It will make TC 5.0 faster (less request processing time, less objets creation/recycling). Extended JMX support: TC 5.0 should be manageabl
