| <p>This package contains <code>Servlets</code> that implement some of the |
| standard functionality provided by the Catalina servlet container. Because |
| these servlets are in the <code>org.apache.catalina</code> package hierarchy, |
| they are in the privileged position of being able to reference internal server |
| data structures, which application level servlets are prevented from |
| accessing (by the application class loader implementation).</p> |
| |
| <p>To the extent that these servlets depend upon internal Catalina data |
| structures, they are obviously not portable to other servlet container |
| environments. However, they can be used as models for creating application |
| level servlets that provide similar capabilities -- most obviously the |
| <a href="DefaultServlet.html">DefaultServlet</a> implementation, which |
| serves static resources when Catalina runs stand-alone.</p> |
