This could be done fairly easily by having webmin's webserver implement
functionality similar to mod_webapp for Apache, which just passes
requests for certain paths through to a separate tomcat server for
exection. However, any such servlets would be totally on their own,
outside of the normal Webmin API and access control mechanisms.
A superior option would be to have support for servlets built into
Webmin's webserver, so that modules could be written in Java. Of course,
a lot of the API that is written in Perl would have to be duplicated, so
this would be a large project - but it certainly could be done.
