As I have said repeatly, I'm interested in knowing the inner workings of this thingy.

Your best bet is to read the Servlet and JSP Specifications and hope that BEA followed the specifications in those areas.

As web app developers we need not be concerned with the vendor-specific "how".Originally posted by John Lin:
In other words, the specs are only about "what" but not about "how".
Hmmm, not so well-known to me. In over 8 years of developing applications to the Servlet and JSP APIs I have never run into a problem, performance or otherwise, that required knowing how a specific vendor implemented a detail of the specifications. Your own experiences may have been different, but most web app developers do not need to know how the vendors implement the specs.Originally posted by John Lin:
