Well actually nothing has changed in eXist-db for 'the war feature', only a
configuration file has been changed. Nothing more....

(We try to provide as much as support as possible on this list, but well,
it is a job done by volunteers, doing this in spare time..)

We all agree on this

Well, actually the jetty servlet container is the fundament of eXist-db; We
selected jetty because it is open source, well supported and it is rather a
light engine. We decided a long time ago not to develop our own HTTP server
but to use off-the-shell technology as much as possible. This way we can
focus better on the core-business..... developing the database.

I am sorry to read you are a bit disappointed in eXist-db as a product (the
upcoming 2.0, current development wor,k might give you a better
experience..... when it is ready). Maybe we should talk offline a bit
further on your specific issues....

cheers

Dannes
