LOL! That WORKS!??!?!
That means there's a local instance of the servlet running. Scary! But also cool.
Man I would not expect that experience to be consistent with what happens on the server if you're doing anything complex. Especially if you have JAR packages or anything similar involved.

@Nathan, I too was surprised that they had this working. It was introduced with the DP version pre-beta 10. I tested it with the public beta 2 prior to posting about it, just to make sure it made it into this release.
I am not sure how much work was involved with getting this to work....but I am glad they did! It's a great feature.
I also wonder what limitations there might be? I'll have to look into that.
John
