Substantial work has been completed on a re-architected version of Apache
JServ that, among other things, supports the 2.1 servlet API. The current
state of the source can be retrieved from the CVS archive, using branch tag
"JSERV1_1DEV". Besides 2.1 support, this generation includes many other
features, such as a component based architecture for easy plug-in replacement
of particular components, session swapping and persistence (i.e. sessions can
survive a controlled server shutdown and restart), the ability to plug
non-servlet processing modules called "valves" into the server's request
processing path, an included HTTP/1.0 implementation giving you stand alone
capabilities similar to that provided by the JSDK, and much more. The
biggest single piece of missing functionality is the connector to Apache.
An additional factor that dramatically complicates any "when" answer is the
Jakarta project that was announced at JavaOne in June
(http://jakarta.apache.org). Once the source code for the Sun JSWDK (servlet
engine and JSP environment) become available, they will be integrated with
the best ideas from Apache JServ 1.1, so the next "major" release of Apache
JServ will most likely occur under the Jakarta project's auspices.
