Hello Jackrabbit users, This email is about class org.apache.jackrabbit.webdav.WebdavRequestImpl from maven module jackrabbit-webdav, a module bundled with the default jackrabbit distribution. Class WebdavRequestImpl implements HttpServletRequest. Extending this class I noticed that it misses 4 methods of the servlet request spec. These are methods that were added from servlet-api version 2.4 and onward. I'm using jackrabbit version 2.2.9 which was compiled against servlet-api 2.3, so it makes sense that those methods are missing. I expected however that updating my jackrabbit dependency to a later version would solve my issue, but then I found out that:
*Jackrabbit 2.3.6 is compiled against servlet-api 2.3*, as it can be seen here: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jackrabbit/tags/2.3.6/jackrabbit-parent/pom.xml This means that even if I update my jackrabbit-webdav dependency, class org.apache.jackrabbit.webdav.WebdavRequestImpl will still be missing the 4 ServletRequest methods that were added in servlet-api 2.4 and onward. Is there a specific reason that latest jackrabbit versions still use servlet-api 2.3 ? Is there a plan to change this? Thanks, Minos Chatzidakis
