Servlets have been around "forever", at least in Java years. We already had a session on Servlets at JavaOne '96. I'd have to ask (Pavani or DAC, or James G - he was very involved on this then) for exact dates. JSP-like technology was around by '97. A first draft of JSP from the Java Platform group (by then JavaSoft) was publically available in May/June '98. Larry Cable and I took over the spec in Jan '99; the JSP 1.0 FCS came in May '99, and the JSP 1.1 FCS in Dec '99 (although the spec did not change in the last few months, we were just waiting for the implementation and the test suite to go public. Vendors have started delivering JSP 1.1 & Servlet 2.2 implementations, and we expect more to come through in the next months. A partial list (that I hope to update in the next week) is at http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/industry.html Two JSRs (Java Specification Request) for the next versions of the specs and for a standard tag library will be submitted very soon.
