I think we are talking about different things. I would like to develop
for a single java-in-process runtime httpd environment that runs with all
the major web servers. I am interested in fastcgi because it seems to
provide the in-process capability to apache, ncsa, and openmarket servers.
Right now, the only way to write server-side java applications that run on
all webservers is to use a cgi-wrapper that loads java on every
invocation (VERY SLOW). An in-process java environment would reduce
invocation time substantially and provides even greater advantages when
used with jdbc or other connection oriented protocols.

I am not too worried about session afinity. I have a good sense of how to
do that with jigsaw filters and jdbc. I am much interested in a
consistent viable server side java development environment accross all the
major web servers.
