Greetings -- As a part of my research, I have developed a mechanism for terminating individual Tomcat webapps (at the context level). We called it Soft Termination, and you can read about here: <http://www.cs.rice.edu/~arudys/papers/tissec2002.html>
I'm trying to gauge whether there is any interest in an implementation of such functionality. In particular, do you think such a system would be appropriate for inclusion into Tomcat or some subsystem of Tomcat. If you want to see what it looks like, I have an implementation available at: <http://www.cs.rice.edu/~arudys/software/softterm-0.1.tar.gz> The distribution includes some documentation and patch files for Tomcat 4.1.18 and 4.1.24. The patch files, in addition to modifying Tomcat for soft termination, generate some example servlets and JSP files with intentional infinite loops that cannot be broken using other available mechanisms. The code is distributed under a BSD-style license. I'm open to any suggestions anyone has.
