[jboss-dev] Re: VFS 2.0.0.CR1

[Scott Stark]

JBVFS-11 is based on tomcat code exploit issues, so its only critical if 
tomcat is using the vfs for this check. I don't think we currently are. 
Its a critical issue in order to be able to update the tomcat code to be 
based on vfs, but probably not for the vfs 2.0.0.GA since I don't see 
much work being done on the tomcat integration side for the initial 
jbossas release.
