Does this mean that any bug submitted with a criticism (or patch) against jakarta-servletapi-* can be marked as WONTFIX with a advisory for the requestor to notify [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] ? (I know there is at least one bug in this category)
If the bug fix results in a change to the externally-visible portions of an API class (javax.*), the change MUST go through the JCP. The best way to get such an issue considered is through the mail aliases I mentioned in the previous email.
Fixing bugs in the implementation of such classes resulting in NO change to the external interface (e.g. signature of public/protected methods or javadocs) is okay.
Additions, removals and changes to other portions of this workspace, such as the sample applications, are entirely okay.
I'll leave it up to the Tomcat team to decide how to handle the paperwork (e.g. whether to mark bugs as WONTFIX or not). Your suggestion sounds reasonable to me.
It's probably a good idea to outline these rules in a README.txt file in the workspace as well.
Hope this helps.
