The Public Release 2 of the JSP 1.1 specification is available from the download page at Sun's JSP web page: http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/. There have been a few changes in the spec since PR1 based on extensive feedback and implementation efforts. Probably the most important change is in simplifications of the concept of a Tag Handler: a Tag Handler is now an invisible (no GUI) server-side JavaBean component that implements either the Tag or the BodyTag interface to provide good integration within a JSP page. Both Tag and BodyTag are relatively small interfaces. The specification comes with some simple teaching examples. The Tomcat@Jakarta implementation (http://jakarta.apache.org) will catch up with PR2 in the very near future. The final JSP 1.1 specification will be very close to PR2; only very important bugs and clarifications will be corrected. As with all JCP-process, the specification will not be "final" until when a "final" reference implementation is released. We expect that to happen around the end of this calendar year.

There is also a PR2 specification of EJB 1.1 and, very soon, a PR2 specification of the J2EE 1.2 platform. You can find all the J2EE 1.2 related specifications from the J2EE page at http://java.sun.com/j2ee/ =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
