Deployers implementations for more servlet/J2EE containers?

[eliasbalasis]

Greetings,

I realized that Spring-DM powered webapp bundles currently can only run within the two supported servlet containers (Tomcat, Jetty) since deployer implementations exist only for those two.

However, Tomcat and Jetty are not servlet containers not J2EE containers. Therefore certain features supported by J2EE containers like JBoss and Glassfish have to be left out. (eg. container managed transactions or JMS etc)

Are there any plans (most possibly from the servlet/J2EE container manufacturers side) for implementing spring-dm deployers? (eg. JBoss, GlassFish, etc.)?

No. Users can definitely provide patches however with the ongoing RFC-66 (web container support in OSGi), the current web support in Spring DM is being deprecated.
