    hi there,

    i was trying to run the cayenne-filter with jetty6-maven-plugin, but it did not work out for me...
    even with including all dependencies to the jetty-plugin i failed to use the jndi-backup-mechanism, wich i use successfully witch the jetty-launcher.

    perhaps someone could add the docs http://cayenne.apache.org/doc/tutorial-webapp.html with some usefull information about jetty6.

    kind regards,
    peter

    Except that unlike code, we have no diff or merge concepts available
    to us. Documentation is completely unlike code also in the sense that
    it is helpful to update old documentation for greater clarity even
    when the old code is not being touched. Don't you hate it when you
    have to use the new documentation because that is the only place to
    get the answers, code samples, etc but then you don't know which
    parts are relevant and which aren't?

    And we have to be realistic: will the old docs ever get updated?
    Probably not.

    There isn't a need to make old docs vanish completely. Perhaps they
    just drop off the menus and are a little more hidden in the site
    navigation, but it doesn't affect anything other than taking up a
    little more space in the Confluence database.

    I guess we will need to see what 4.0 is going to bring before we will
    know whether it needs a new branch. If the focus is on a new area,
    then perhaps it just needs a chapter heading called "New whizz bang
    feature (4.0 only)"... I use another product where every page in the
    docs is simply titled with "introduced in version x".

    Yes, you are right. But some of those concepts will probably be more
    set in stone in the future as Cayenne matures. Anyhow, nothing needs
    to be done until 4.0 or 3.1 is starting to be planned.
