Determine proper use of javax.servlet in HTTP Service
-----------------------------------------------------
Key: FELIX-57
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-57
Project: Felix
Type: Task
Components: HTTP Service
Reporter: Richard S. Hall
Priority: Minor
Currently, we have javax.servlet 2.1 code in the Felix repository for the
purposes of using it for the HTTP Service because it was thought that the HTTP
Service was required to use javax.servlet 2.1. However, the conclusion of this
thread seems to state otherwise:

PROTECTED]
As a result, the current HTTP Service implementation depends on Jetty 4.2.25
and javax.servlet 2.4, both of which are embedded inside the bundle JAR file.
This is incorrect because Jetty 4.2.25 does not implement 2.4, so we actually
need to use javax.servlet 2.3 for it, but I could not find it in ibiblio.
So first, we need to find servlet 2.3 and add a dependency to it. If we decide
to stick with javax.servlet 2.3, then we should remove 2.1 from the repo and
just bundle-ize the javax.servlet 2.3 JAR from ibiblio or whereever. Then we
can move the servlet API out of the HTTP Service bundle and import it as before.
