The Public Draft 1 (PD1) of the JSP 1.2 specification is available now at the Java Community Process site at: http://java.sun.com/aboutJava/communityprocess/review.html Sources for the API classes will be made available through the TOMCAT project at jakarta.apache.org in a few days. The JSP 1.2 specification uses the Servlet 2.3 specification, which is available from the same download site. Points worth mentioning right away: - This is the FIRST PUBLIC DRAFT. - The initial public review for this spec is 30 days. - We are planning an updated PUBLIC DRAFT sometime after the public feedback. - We are planning a PROPOSED FINAL DRAFT by end of this year. - The FINAL specification will be in second quarter of 2001. Between PROPOSED FINAL DRAFT and FINAL we will complete the implementation, the test suites, and do any final debugging of the specification. We welcome your feedback. I want to encourage these avenues for feedback: - [EMAIL PROTECTED] goes to me and then to the expert group. We will look to all issues but, due to volume, we cannot guarantee we will respond to all issues. - [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a discussion mailing list for advanced issues in the web layer. I do my best to track this discussion group and participate in some of the discussions. This mailing list can be subscribed as mail drops, digest, or just browsed through the web - check details at http://archives.java.sun.com/ - [EMAIL PROTECTED] I will try to track this mailing list, as I usually do. The JSP expert group has wide industry participation, and we believe PD1 is fairly complete. There are a few areas where we know fine-tuning is needed but, for the most part, if you believe there is a big hole in the spec, we need to know as soon as possible. Thanks for your help in improving the JSP specification, - Eduardo Pelegri-Llopart (JSP 1.2 expert group lead & J2EE web layer architect) =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
