Hi Patrick,
FYI I'm still using 1.0.1 for now ...

Right, but when Pluto deploys a war file (i.e. from the maven deploy
goal) it will create or modify your existing web.xml file to add the
Pluto wrapper servlet definitions.
Did you try to use a 2.4 web.xml already?
Yes, I tried and it didn't work.
In my portlet View I'm using JSTL 1.1. JSTL 1.1 "features" only seem to
work if there is a "version=2.4" attribute in the <web-app> element of
the web.xml (I guess this is a Tomcat thing?). When the pluto deployer
rewrites the web.xml, it drops my version attribute and my portlet
breaks b/c JSTL 1.1 features don't work any longer.
Based on what I've been able to figure out, I think just a simple change
in the Castor mapping files will preserve version attribute if it is
present in the source web.xml.
I did some much deeper digging; for example I was able to get Pluto to
marshal and unmarshal a servlet 2.4 descriptor file that validated
against the J2EE 2.4 XSD (right now some of the elements in the castor
mappings are out of order, the castor mapping files aren't able to
support namespaces, and the OutputFormatter of
AbstractCastorDescriptorService uses the incorrect Doctype etc).
I've benn using 2.4 for a
while now and had no problems -- with pluto 1.1. Actually, the Servlet
Container has to be ready for 2.4.
I don't know about Pluto 1.1, but IIRC JSR-168 only requires 2.3, not 2.4.
Thanks for the feedback. I think I'm going to go the simplest route and
just try to modify the castor mapping file to preserve a version
attribute on the <web-app> element.

Just try it, I see no reason why this shouldn't work.

Hi,
What is everyone's take on supporting 2.4 webapp descriptors with pluto
1.0.1?
I'm working on some code for it right now, b/c of some local
requirements that I have.
Is it worth it to put this type of support into 1.0.1 when development
on Pluto 1.1 is moving along?
Thanks for your feedback,
Elliot
