Sorry.  Finally I have a little more breathing room.  (But I'll
be away from phone or email Sunday morning until Monday afternoon.

I think we want to be able to *set* the context of relative url
in non-servlet environments.  Thus we need (in CallContext):
  protected Object baseUri;
  public void setBaseUri (Object baseUri) { this.baseUri = baseUri; }
  public Object getBaseUri () { return baseUri; }

I'm not sure what the type of baseuri should be:  a String?
a URL? a URI (in 1.4)? sometimes a File?  So I punted, and
just make it Object.

We might have the KawaServlet init method do setBaseUri.

If we have getBaseUri, then I don't think we don't need
getResource, at least not in CallContext.  However,
we still need a helper routine to resolve a relative URI
relative to a base URI.  JDK 1.4 has USR.resolve, but I
don't want to force people to use 1.4.  So we need a
helper routine.  This could also be in CallContext, I think:
  Object getResolvedUri (String name) { ... }
Can this be written purely in terms of getBaseUri?  (If so,
we don't need to override it in ServletCallContext.)  What
about getResolvedUri("/...")?    Your code would resolve
it relative to the servlet context, which is reasonable.
So I guess we may need to override it in ServletCallContext,
after all.

Does this make sense?
