is it planned to support EAR files in Tomcat?

hi!

as I know, Tomcat does not support EAR modules.
so, how can I communicate between two WAR-files ?

I need to have something like 'gate', when java code from one WAR sends
a message and a class from second WAR receives this message.
I can create additional JAR file to store such 'gate', but afaik different WAR-files
will have their own instances of such 'gate', which is not acceptable - they will not communicate.

so, how to communicate in this situation (without using a database) ?
I have read in Tomcat FAQ that EAR files are not supported because
'EJBs are not supported".
But in this case I don't need EJB, I to have two war files in one
class-loader.

I know that 'common' and 'shared' folders can be used to share files.
But in this case this application won't be compatible with other
Appservers and servlet runners.

thanks! Alexey.
