I will add the hk2_at_dev today, however like Eduardo mentioned, keep
the V3 discussions here.

resurface was the right word...
so the short answer is no, I am not trying to make it web centric yet
I realize that most folks are using the web platform. Anyhow, the
long answer is that there are some applications container which are
both handling an application type and serving particular url types.
Take for example Phobos, you have phobos applications which are
packaged in a jar file like a web app for instance but the phobos
engine is also capable of serving isolated .ejs files. So v3 really
need to start the phobos engine when someone is deploying a phobos
application OR if someone is accessing a .ejs in the docroot of the
web server.
For the containers that do not have a web front end, they really
should return null from getURLPattern(). I think that I could split
the interfaces in 2 but I felt that it was a bit of an overkill at
this point. For now, I will make this situation (and the optional
nature of getURLPattern) more explicit in the javadocs and if the
community feel that we should have 2 interfaces, they should speak up.
Thanks for trying V3, let me know if I can be of further help.
