Serviceability

• Make it easier for support organization to provide top quality support.

Modularization

• Modularization of the AppServer

Web.Next

• Additional Web 2.0 Features, possibly including ProjectPhobos, JMaki, and others.

• Very easy to replace a single module and test it (epll).

Productivity for Developers

• very fast startup time
• possibly embeddable (i.e could run in the same VM as an IDE).

per application resource management instead of global

• sun-resources.xml support cleanup
