> ACE registers its servlets whiteboard style under objectClass=javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet. The custom whiteboard implementation HttpListener bridges them to available Http services.
> 1) I think strictly speaking this is not spec compliant as HttpServlet is not an interface?
> 2) It is unnecessarily specific as HttpService#registerServlet accepts javax.servlet.Servlet
> 3) It is not (out of the box) portable to Felix HTTP whiteboard or Amdatu Dispatcher
> For these reasons I'd suggest switching to objectClass=javax.servlet.Servlet. Would be happy to work on a small patch if there is some consensus that this is a good idea.
