For those of you tracking the JSP 2.0 specification, we are pleased to
announce the availability of an Early Access Preview implementation,
available now from:
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/earlyAccess/jsp/
The primary goal of the JSP 2.0 specification is to make JSP technology
more productive and even easier to use. The specification is being
developed by an expert group consisting of over 30 companies and
individuals, and is currently in Public Review stages. More information
on the specification, including a public download, is available at
http://jcp.org/jsr/detail/152.jsp
This implementation was developed collectively in the Expert Group
using Tomcat 4.1 and Jasper2 as a base. The intent of the Expert
Group is to integrate this source base with Tomcat 5.0.
The Preview is intended solely to allow you, the developer
community, to experiment with some of the new JSP 2.0 features and
provide us, the JSR-152 (JSP 2.0) expert group, with hands-on feedback.
Please send all feedback to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Please note that this is not a production release, and that not all JSP
2.0 features are implemented.
Features implemented include:
* New JSP 2.0 APIs
* Integrated Expression Language Support
* Supports new <jsp:attribute> and <jsp:body> standard actions
* Supports new SimpleTag Handlers and JSP Fragments
Features not yet implemented include:
* JSR-45 Debugging Support
* Tag Files
* Attributes with Dynamic Names
* JSP Configuration
The download comes with pre-installed JSP 2.0 examples that help
illustrate the new feature set.
Please give it a try, and we look forward to hearing from you!
