This is a key point. On at least the following servlet engines you can setup multiple, individually named instances of a servlet: Jigsaw, JavaWebServer, JRun, Apache JServ, and ServletExec. The servlet runner in the JSDK is a simple example not a completely worked out production implementation of the servlet spec, so it doesn't exhibit all the flexibility of the spec. This feature requires a means of aliasing or creating virtual objects/resources. There is no standard way to configure a servlet engine for these aliases or virtual object specifications Which does make it difficult to build install packages that are servlet engine independent but this needn't extend to the URIs. ciao, Christine Tomlinson
