Thanks Andrea and a follow up question to mvn experts
My tomcat8 says in its release notes
* servlet-api.jar (Servlet 3.1 API)
so I changed the main pom to say
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
<version>3.1.0</version>
</dependency>
then a couple rounds of unsuccessful mvn package attempts
Finally I removed ~/.m2/repository/javax and tried again
> mvn clean
> mvn -U package
this triggers downloading of all sorts of a javax packages. As you can see in
the list below there is a
javax/servlet/servlet-api/3.1.0/servlet-api-3.1.0.jar and pom
despite this I get the error
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project dspace-services: Could not resolve
dependencies for project org.dspace:dspace-services:jar:6.0-SNAPSHOT: Could not
find artifact javax.servlet:servlet-api:jar:3.1.0 in sonatype-releases
(https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/releases/)
I am at a loss - since the jar/pom was downloaded - why is maven / am I
confused ?
Any suggestions ?
Monika

The method getDispatcherType() is undefined for the type HttpServletRequest
My first suspect would be the version of servlet-api that comes with your
tomcat install. A quick web search for "The method getDispatcherType() is
undefined for the type HttpServletRequest" leads to this:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26436463/getdispatchertype-is-undefined-for-the-type-httpservletrequest

I don't know whether you can just swap out the servlet-api jar that comes with
tomcat. One of the answers to the stackoverflow question suggests going the
other direction, ie changing the version number in the DSpace pom file to what
is provided by your web application container (3.1, it looks like?). I suspect
in that case you'll get compile-time errors about the same thing.
The DSpace docs say we support Tomcat 7 or newer; if this problem persists for
Tomcat 8 then this might be worth a Jira issue.
cheers,
Andrea
