Too be honest I am more interested in JSP 2.0 support in Jetty than in Tomcat as I switched to Jetty some time ago. :-) But I knew that Jetty used Jasper, but I wasn't aware that the integration was (theoretically) so simple. > Try it and come back to the list with your findings, Alas someone else will probably beat me to it. It will be some time before I get to this part of my refactoring. Hence my original question, I was just wondering how long it would be, it sounds from your comments that JSP 2.0 will be ready a while before I am. But if I do end up working on it first, you can be sure that I'll post my findings here and I'll help in any way I can. > What have they got in JSP2.0 that is exciting ? I haven't yet had time > to look at the spec. There are quite a few things that are new in JSP that I have been getting quite excited about. I have never previously been a fan of JSP because in my mind it did not sufficiently separate the presentation and business logic layers. Custom tags were a step to solve this, but it was too "hard" of a solution whereby all the logic had to be set up in java classes. However, JSP has introduced a new server side scripting language called "EL" which seems to me to be exactly what was needed. This is a welcome addition if like me you have never been keen on the idea of having java code embedded in templates. You can create pure XML pages in JSP now, and switch off any embedded Java, instead opting for the lighter weight EL scripting language. You can then add your presentation layer using servlet filters doing XSLT transformations for example. If you use such a methodology, it forces you to put all of your meaty code in Java classes where it belongs, but still gives you the freedom to do scripting in the template. You can also create custom tags in pure EL. The strange thing for me is that I have been mentally designing a new XML based web-framework that would use JPython as a scripting language. After reading the JSP 2.0 spec. however, I realised that I can now achieve the same design goals using the new features of JSP. The only area which I think is still a little weak is that in the servlet API, filters can only be configured at deploy time. I would like to be able to pick different output "filters" at runtime. This should be relatively easy to work around however. -- Peter Beck BEng (hons) - Managing Director, Electrostrata Ltd. http://www.electrostrata.com --+-+-- Experts in e-business and e-commerce --- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: Thawte.com - A 128-bit supercerts will allow you to extend the highest allowed 128 bit encryption to all your clients even if they use browsers that are limited to 40 bit encryption.

Falling back to a local session implementation - NO HTTPSESSI ON DISTRIBUTION As anyone seen this before? If you set the tag in your web.xml you should: 1. be doing so intentionally - it is a costly thing to do. Yes, I am, since I'll need to support failover. My app keeps references in http layer (httpsession) to ejb layer objects. If I do not support http session replication the whole thing goes down. 2. uncomment the JGStore block in deploy/jbossweb.sar/META-INF/jboss-service.xml Hey! Is this new? I haven't done this step with the previous jboss versions, and I had some small test applications working correctly (with http replication enabled) then! Was this some jetty change introduced in the last days? This is new in 3.0.5. Components in the session replication layer are now configured by allocating and configuring an instance in the ConfigurationElement of you jbossweb.sar/META-INF/jboss-service.xml. Previously, you just had to specify the classes, not the instances. The advantage of this approach is that it is considerably more flexible and exposes the instance's full interface to configuration. The disadvantage is that you actually need the class present at configure-time. JavaGroups is not present in some of the JBoss configurations, so this block is commented out, to avoid nasty exceptions on startup. NB. You should upgrade to Jetty 4.2.5 to avoid a couple of nasty bugs that crept into 4.2.4 (release in 3.0.5).
