tomcat + Axis: ftp transport listener

[jimjim]

Hello all,

I was looking at servlets from the Axis perspective. As Axis can support
many transport protocols, not just http, I was wondering how an ftp Axis
transport listener would recieve an hypothetical FtpServletRequest object,
if the actual request object that the tomcat container creates is
HttpServletRequest.

TIA

P.S: the servlet spec states that "The servlet container creates an
HttpServletRequest object and passes it as
an argument to the servlet's service methods (doGet, doPost, etc)".
