>>currently, it no longer requires TomCat: they want to keep it simple to install. It can run standalone, and also will ship as a plugin for Tomcat and Apache, and as an ISAPI filter for IIS.
Hmm. Craig will be correct re the isapi filter and the Apache plugin that are unlikely to be wanted on a shared host server.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
