There is no JSR and no Expert Group. JSP 2.3 will be handled as a maintenance release of 2.2. The changes are (as far as I am aware): - fix typos - limit HTTP methods that JSPs respond to (to HEAD, GET, POST) - changes required as a result of EL 3.0 (don't know what these will be) - anything else Oracle has thought of since I last spoke to the person maintaining the JSP spec > Also, I figured since I couldn't find any information about it on > Oracle's site or the JCP site that it must not be very far along, and > yet here it is, on the Maven central repository (uploaded January 12, > 2013), without any indication in the version that it's beta or > milestone or anything of the sort: > http://search.maven.org/#artifactdetails%7Cjavax.servlet.jsp%7Cjavax.servlet.jsp-api%7C2.3.0%7Cjar That is from the spec lead. It will be interesting to see what a diff of the javap output between that and JSP 2.2 shows. /me Starts downloading that JAR > Does anybody know the answer to this? The above is the best I can do. There will be an update of my Tomcat 8 presentation at ApacheCon NA in Portland in a few weeks time.
