All, Jeff, Bill and I had done a lot of work trying to re-enter and check the 2.5 servlet specs (see http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1686).
However, dispite these efforts, these specs lack javadoc and jsp, plus they are a little out of date. The javadoc is a very important part of the spec. We need to come up with a solution to get a good version of the spec into geronimo-spec and I see we have 4 options: 0) Push ahead with https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/specs/branches/jee5_exp/geronimo-spec-servlet Losts more work to do. 1) Just copy the tomcat 6 version from http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/tc6.0.x/trunk/java/javax Should be no legal hassles as it is in apache already. maybe not good to be forking the code, but until there is a top level specs project.... 2) Use the jetty version. I have added a patch for this to GERONIMO-1686. The Jetty version is derived from the old jakarta version with patches from the apache version of glass fish and manual updates. However we are probably going to change to use the tc6.0.x version anyway. I think this is a no-brainer and the 1) is the obvious solution. If other agree I'd like to do this soon. cheers
