It would be easier to be consistent with the specs if *they* were consistent :-). Servlet 2.4 and JSP 2.0 require JDK 1.4 if you're in a J2EE 1.4 container (indirectly, because it's the J2EE spec that says this). For standalone web containers, the minimum platform is JDK 1.3. It's not just open source projects that have spirited discussions about when to switch :-). > > David Craig --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
