Tomcat 7 and Geronimo

[Rick McGuire <ri...@gmail.com>]

I stumbled across the following presentation about Tomcat 7 yesterday, 
and I was wondering how much of an impact this will be for Geronimo.

http://people.apache.org/~markt/presentations/2009-04-01-Tomcat7Servlet3.pdf

Here's the list of new items planned for the release.

New for Tomcat 7
•Servlet 3.0 support
•Cluster communication via UDP
•Significantly improved JMX support - GSOC
•Replace Valves with Filters - GSOC
•Bayeux
•Numerous smaller improvements
•Code clean up
–Remove unused stuff
–Resolve inconsistencies

Since Servlet 3.0 is going to be needed for JEE6 support, I'm wondering 
how much effort is going to be required to fit this in. The "Replace 
Valves with Filters" item might be a particular problem, since I know 
there was a bit of Valves work that has gone into past releases.

It's not clear to me if the valves-to-filters project completed (I  
haven't been following the tomcat list closely), but I don't  
anticipate that it would cause any problems -- maybe a day of work.  I  
suspect we can simplify our integration since filters have lifecycle  
methods, we won't need to work around their lack in valves like we do  
now.
