You can be a Servlet 2.3 container, or you can be a Servlet 2.4 container, but not both (see for example, BZ #23525). I agree with Yoav that what
Well, Sun is claiming full compatibility, so I'm assuming it's fully compatible :)
people want most from Tomcat 5 is a Servlet 2.4/JSP 2.0 container.
There are only bad solutions here:
- wait for an unspecified, and possibly long, amount of time, sitting on a finished product
- backport patches (we probably don't have the resources, and destabilizing 4.1 would be bad; we'd have to use a new 4.2 branch)
- branch a new 4.2 based on the current 5.0, and remove features (IMO it doesn't make any sense, plus that would destabilize the codebase - a bit less than the previous option, however -, and run into a similar resources issues)
If the first option is chosen, I will go work on other stuff (at JBoss) while the project stays idle (chômage technique, as we say in French).
As you all know: no stable release = no testers = no bugs = nothing to fix :-(
I don't have any time to dedicate to either of the other two options, as I have neither motivation nor need for such a product. Sorry :-(
So I think we're stuck :-(
