It should be stable enough, but then again it really depends on *your*
webapp. Testing is the key.

It looks like you are still using the invoker. Its evil:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/faq/misc.html#invoker
But the servlet 2.4 is mostly compatible with 2.3 and 2.2.

Tim,
Thanks for the quick reply. That is exactly what the problem was. I
understand that statically defining and mapping servlets would be much
more secure, however I'm not sure I want to map the several hundred
servlets involved....
I put the invoker back in place and things are moving along fine now.
