I want to integrate features used by JBoss Portal in the the tomcat integration in order to improve the integration between the two. That will consist in :

1/ move JBoss Portal code that enables instrumentation of a war file at runtime. This code mainly add a new objects to a tomcat context (a servlet and a servlet filter).

2/ Test 1/

3/ Provide an integration layer that the portal can safely reuse

The target release is the branch 4.x.x and head.

This show how JBoss Portal modifies a tomcat context

This shows how JBoss Portal is aware that a tomcat context is deployed :
