Based on Steve's most
recent blog entry, I have a feeling that we are are talking past one another.
Let me go on the record as being very "pro-modularity" and "anti-monolith" with respect to implementation approaches in this space. Both Indigo and IIS7 are built on an open interceptor/pipeline model.
My questions related to introducing another container model have been relative to the developer-facing surface area of the platform, not on how a given vendor implements this stuff.
Steve is a brilliant engineer. I'd be shocked if he needed to give the highly-modular Artix an enema in order to support yet another JCP-mandated API.
I do have a hard time seeing how the Java developer community is served by yet another programming/management/deployment model for writing hosted code.
Of course, I've always believed that the Java folks found the sweet spot with the Servlet+JDBC combination back in the 1990's, so I've obviously got very questionable taste.
