awesome! did you have a look at the servlet 3.0 API PD?

I did not yet, but was amazed to see something like this:

 Java | 
 copy |
?
 
public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent sce) {
      ServletContext sc = sce.getServletContext();
 
      ServletRegistration sr = sc.addServlet("NewServlet", "test.NewServlet");
      sr.setInitParameter("servletInitName", "servletInitValue");
      sc.addServletMapping("NewServlet", new String[] {"/newServlet"});
  }

wonder, if servlets and filters can be removed at runtime as well

one thing bugs me though: why the hell has the servlet’s name to be a parameter to addServletMapping !?

shouldn’t it be only possible to map the servlet bound to this ServletRegistration object? in that case, repeating the name is a source of possible error, right?
