Well, so far I see a lot more flame-throwing than introspection. :-) Perhaps Remy should have labeled it an RFC (which is more what it is at this stage), then a Proposal. However, that is supposed to be implied by the "draft" in the subject line. He included what is important to him (e.g. this is an evolution of 4.1.x/Jasper2, and should include tighter integration with the connectors layer). I certainly never read it as excluding any other goal that others in the community might have. Instead, I saw it as his way of getting the ball rolling to do exactly what you want. So far, the only concrete suggestion is Christopher's benchmark suite. I personally think that it's a better fit with, say, Cactus (and if the proposal included bundling Cactus with Tomcat, I'm guessing that he'd have the Cactus group falling all over themselves to help out :). However, at least he's made a start at something concrete. > Regards, > > Glenn > > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
