Apache, IIS and iPlanet all follow some rules that are different from the servlet spec. And I don't expect those web servers to be changed to match what the JCP defines. Apache is a web server, it provides support for a servlet container ( tomcat + jk ), and also for PHP, mod_perl and even ASP. Apache+PHP+mod_perl+ASP+jk+tomcat is not a servlet container. We do have a problem that jk+tomcat has to deal with what becomes a bigger and bigger mismatch, but that's mostly irrelevant to the web server.
