Tomcat 6 status is not quite clear from Tomcat website. I want to use the latest possible release because we need to lock on; upgrading later down the road would incur administrative complications.
Tomcat 6 docs page says that "Apache Tomcat version 6.0 implements the Servlet 2.5 and JavaServer Pages 2.1 specifications", how complete this implementation is? Should I assume that because build 6.0.13 is not explicitly marked as alpha or beta, it is a stable build? "Which version" page does not really clear things up, even more, Tomcat 5 seems like the best choice since it is stable and relatively up-to-date. Entries for Tomcat 4 and Tomcat 3 recommend to upgrade to Tomcat 5, but not to Tomcat 6. To summarize, I would prefer a most recent yet relatively stable version. From administrative point of view, it is much simpler to upgrade to a next point version than to a next major release, so I would rather start using v. 6 if it is stable enough. Any advice? I searched Tomcat mailing list for "Tomcat 6 status" and did not find anything specific. Also, do I have to download JSTL implementation libs separately? Saw these libs in webapp samples folder. Any reason why these are not included as standard libs? I understand that JSTL is just a spec, but servlets and JSPs are specs as well. The whole point in Tomcat that it _implements_ SRV and JSP specs. Why JSTL is not implemented by default? Also, what is up with JSF support? tomcat/lib directory does not provide even interface libs for JSF. Not that I am going to use JSF, I just wanted to find out what the status is. RELEASE-NOTES in the download zip file do not help much.
