I need to look over my code that I've written for my to be web 
application server.
But: I'm a little concerned that if there is no alternative we won't be 
able to seriously be able to have a web application server ala JSP 
servlet style.

So while export may work, perhaps a slightly different approach. If an 
interface/class is marked as export, it gets inherited. So an child 
class/implementation would also be export because a super 
interface/class was export.
This would make me a lot happier.
