I don't know of anyone working on it at the moment, although (at least for
Tomcat 4) it would be a fairly straightforward exercise.
Personally, I don't think STM should be encouraged -- it misleads people
into thinking they don't have to deal with multiple thread issues, and
still runs into scalability problems when you hit the maximum configured
number of instances for each given servlet. But I'd commit a patch to
enable this if someone really wanted it.
