You can find the requirement of J2SE 1.4 on Page 18, "Relation To JSP 1.2" Requiring the Java 2 platform, version 1.4 or later. and Page 20, "Related Documents" Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.4 in JSP 2.0 spec proposed final draft PDF document. (I also replied to Costin, but didn't state the document exactly.) In addition, the document also talks about Unicode 3 system of J2SE 1.4 in i18n issue.

And if true, would create big problems in that the 2.4 servlet spec mandates only Java 2. <spec-quote spec="servlet" version="2.4" section="1.2"> J2SE 1.2 is the minimum version of the underlying Java platform with which servlet containers must be built. </spec-quote> The only mention of 1.4 I see in either spec is that any 1.4 J2EE implementation must implement Servlet-2.4 & JSP-2.0.
