geronimo-servlet_3.0_spec-1.0.jar incorrectly applies semantic versioning to
servlet packages
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: GERONIMO-5872
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-5872
Project: Geronimo
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: public (Regular issues)
Components: specs
Affects Versions: 3.0-M1
Reporter: Alasdair Nottingham
The gernomio-servlet_3.0_spec-1.0.jar incorrectly exports the javax.servlet
packages as 2.6 and 3.0. The problem with this is if the Servlet spec were to
make a semantically breaking API change the correct next semantic step for the
javax.servlet packages would be 3.0. This means there is no way for an importer
importing at [3.0,4.0) to know whether they will match the version that is the
same as 2.6, or the version that is breaking from 3.0 resulting in deployment
and runtime problems.
