 Field access needs testing, especially for anything using the cgi.FieldStorage
 class - Webware and Twisted certainly need reviewing.

+Java Servlet API Notes
+----------------------
+
+Trying to get WebStack working on top of the Java Servlet API was an
+unsuccessful exercise. First, I tried to use jythonc at the top of a directory
+structure consisting of WebStack, Simple and the SimpleApp.py source file, but
+jythonc insisted on making a Java source file - WebStack.java - which
+conflicts with the WebStack package. I would have expected it to make an
+__init__.java file inside the WebStack directory containing the Java source
+files.
+
+Then, I decided to make .jar files for each package before compiling
+SimpleApp.py, but this did not work particularly well. Each main.py file
+imports the appropriate package (WebStack.Adapters.JavaServlet for WebStack,
+Simple for Simple). The CLASSPATH environment variable was set to include
+servlet.jar from Apache Tomcat and, for SimpleApp.py, the previously produced
+.jar files.
+
+[In the WebStack root directory...]
+jythonc --all --jar .../WEB-INF/lib/WebStack.jar -J "-deprecation" main.py
+[In the examples/Common directory...]
+jythonc --all --jar .../WEB-INF/lib/Simple.jar -J "-deprecation" main.py
+[In the examples/JavaServlet/SimpleApp directory...]
+jythonc --all --workdir .../WEB-INF/classes -J "-deprecation" SimpleApp.py
+cp .../jython.jar .../WEB-INF/lib
+
+Somehow, the Simple package doesn't contain SimpleResource, even if the
+appropriate main.py file explicitly references it.
