Yes, but I'd like to get agreement that we don't care about the Servlet
EG's opinion on the VM-wide nature of system properties.
Okay, thanks for the update Ed. 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.
In fact, I'm on the phone with Bill Shannon, Roberto Chinnici,
Rajiv
Mordani, and the Sun EE architects right now for our weekly meeting. I
have requested a timeslot to bring this up (again) there. I'm glad I'm
on the phone because otherwise, I might get tomatoes thrown in my face.
Wow, sounds harsh. I guess I am missing why this is so controversial.
In any case, thanks for raising this (again).
