Hola, I'm virtually back from vacation ;) Still traveling, but now for business, and therefore lugging my laptop along. Thank you for the inquiry ;)

Yup. 5.5.11 should be a good step in that direction: I'll download and play around with it, but I think the changelog looks great in that it's mostly fixes to known issues, nothing crazy, and therefore should make a good build. > - Implement Servlet API 2.5: > http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/maintenance/jsr154/servlet-2_5-changelog.html > There are few changes, except support for some annotations (which are > optional, but as Tomcat supports all web related optional J2EE features > ...).

I have to say I'm happy with the current Servlet 2.5 draft: from our perspective, it's not much serious new work, we can remove a couple of annoying special case paths through the code, and we get to dismiss the compat package. We may want to continue making 5.5 releases for a little while after Tomcat 6.0 is out, as I expect a bunch of users will still using JDK 1.4. Side note on this: the name for the CVS (or actually, SVN) area for Servlet API 2.5. I'd prefer servletapi-2.5 for clarity, even though it breaks the pattern of jakarta-servletapi and then jakarta-servletapi-5 that we have used to date. > - Implement JSP 2.1: it's a significant effort, and the issue is that > there doesn't seem to be anyone available. Any ideas ? The biggest unaddressed issue on the table at the moment, I agree. I need to look through the spec draft myself. Are the gurus (kin-man, etc.) not around and not available to help out? Also, similar side note on CVS/SVN location: perhaps we put it in jspapi-2.1 instead of servletapi-6?
