Requiring Servlet 2.4 is probably not a big deal, but it might be a big change for our users. You are correct that the <dispatcher> elements are 2.4-only, but both Resin and Tomcat (our most popular deployed-on platforms) support them in a 2.3 DTD, so we've left them in there. If a <dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher> is required for things to work properly, we should mandate 2.4. In AppFuse, I use a build flag to change web.xml appropriately if the user desires 2.4. Another option would be to upgrade to a nightly build of XDoclet, which I believe supports 2.4. This way, you'd only need to change 2.3 to 2.4 in build.xml.
