Apache does indeed have Apache-licensed versions of the servet 2.4
(and JSP 2.0) API classes. The ones that are shipped with Tomcat 5.x
are in cvs repository jakarta-servletapi-5. I would imagine we
could just get the Tomcat folks to post those JARs to ibiblio or
something. Isn't that just a matter of uploading to some special
directory on an Apache server that gets mirrored over (the same way we
do the Struts JARs)?
You could get the JARs from Sun (by downloading the app server, for
example), but they'll come with a redistribution license says you
can't piecemeal out the parts -- you can only ship what you downloaded
if its unmodified and just a part of your product or package. That
won't do us any good for this purpose.

This is a bit of a puzzle for me and after a bit of digging, I don't
have a great place to pose this question -- so I'll keep it close to
home, especially since Craig's past involvement in Tomcat (and
employment by Sun) might help me understand.
The iBiblio repository doesn't have a Servlet 2.4 final API jar. I
thought that the Tomcat project used to distribute binaries of the
Servlet APIs, although I didn't see them just now.
Is Sun the official place to get the API jars? Are those jars under
the more restrictive redistribution licenses, which might explain why
they are not on the Apache binary download sites now? Or am I just
confused?
I'm not sure who I would ask to get the thing uploaded to iBiblio,
especially since the Maven project has tried to make the process
there much more formalized -- only someone with authority is
supposed to make the upload request JIRA ticket, and they are
supposed to provide the material which is to be uploaded.
Then again, if the Tomcat folks still shepherd the API, then they
could just build it to the Apache directory which is mirrored to
iBiblio.
Craig, or anyone: can you clarify?
