I think we should target Java 6 if it makes life more simple. Our jetty backed solution on Jetty 8 already requires Java 6 and I have been told that Servlet 3.0 requires Java 6 as a minimum. Moving forward we need to figure out if we can pull off a base http.servlet bundle that supports 3.1 and 3.0 servlet. I think Servlet 3.1 may require Java 7, but in the past we have been able to have http.servlet support much older Java versions.
BTW, I would like us to consider having the http.servlet bundle be as forwards compatible as possible. I think this is important for cases where a war is delivered with http.servlet bundle embedded. Otherwise the bridge style WAR will become incompatible on later servers that implement the very latest servlet spec. Currently we attempt to do this by using proxies for provider types like the ServletContext which then delegate to the hosting container's provider type implementations.

Are we increasing: * org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.compliance * org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.source * Bundle-RequiredExecutionEnvironment * org.eclipse.jdt.internal.debug.ui.launcher.StandardVMType Basically, what's the baseline Java version we're limited to increasing this too. - Ray On Sun, Mar 23, 2014 at 1:13 AM, Raymond Auge <[email protected]> wrote: Hello Thomas, et al. I managed to use the org.eclipse.equinox.http.servlet without modification as the Http Service in Liferay without using the equinox bridge or doing any nasty hackery. It was actually trivially simple. This is a good stepping stone to start hacking in the new http-service spec on top of this knowing that we're starting from an working common denominator. Probably tomorrow I'll create a github fork with a branch for this work. Sincerely, - Ray On Fri, Mar 21, 2014 at 5:45 PM, Raymond Auge <[email protected]> wrote: Nvm... Old checkout.
