I wasn't aware that there had been push back from the Servlet EG on this. Personally I don't understand the nature of the objection. In some case fine-grained (application-specific) control is desired. We have addressed this case via the context parameter. There seems to be general agreement in our EG that a system-level property would also be beneficial and in particular would improve the ease of use of this feature for development-time scenarios (ie. no need for a web.xml or JNDI config). Not sure why we need to choose one approach vs. the other. Both serve a purpose.
