Your time *is* very much appreciated... I can wait, it's still quicker than
writing it myself !

Just wondered if was an oversight... what with sleep deprivation, and so on!
;-)  I'd happily compile it for you if I had a C compiler and knew how to
use it... ;-))

We already have Linux *and* Windows.  I prefer Linux (and Unix) by a long
way, and use it where possible, but we still "need" Windows for a few other
applications (i.e.: no equivalents for certain applications).  For various
reasons, we also need to deploy with NT/2000 sometimes, so it's nice to know
what's portable and what's not.

I was wondering if I could still use mod_jk...  or if mod_webapp will be the
only way for Tomcat 4.  I've also heard about using a JNI interface with
Apache 2, but I don't know how viable this option is (yet).

Just wanted to let you know that your work is appreciated, and that I'm not
a whining Windows user...!

The problem is building the makefiles :)

Both not my #1 choice, but at least Linux has fork() :)

AFAIK, there is some AJPv14 that is supposed to work with TC4. I never tried
it though... I don't even know if it's working.

The WebApp module is compliant with WatchDog, so meaning that right now I
can ask for compliancy to the servlet spec... And it's coming better every
day...
