The current servlet spec doesn't requires J2SE 5.0 - only the next one (
another stupid forced, unjustified transition IMO ).
I would assume JDK1.4 will be supported for a while, as long as the
current version of the servlet spec is in use.
Tomcat3.3, which supports JDK1.1, has been maintained for quite a while
after switching to JDK1.3 and then JDK1.4. I don't see how anyone who
has been around for past upgrades could expect a mass migration to the
new servlet spec and JDK1.5.

Hi,
Tomcat 5.5 will always allow JDK 1.4. Tomcat 6.0, as required by the J2EE 5
specifications, will require J2SE 5.0. I repeat, for emphasis, that this is
required by the J2EE 5 Specification itself, which Tomcat 6.0 will support: it
is not our decision to drop support for JDK 1.4.

Hi,
We'r puzzled between tomcat 5.0.x and 5.5.x.
Due to our product restrictions we can't use JDK 1.5. Looked at jakarta web
site, it seems that using tomcat 5.5.x seriese compated to 5.0.x is a good
idea and recommended.
Before committing our product to tomcat 5.5.9, I want to know how much tomcat
dev team will be committed to supporting JDK 1.4.x going forward ?
thanks in advance for your help,
Girish
