Thanks, Mark.

Also, thanks Violeta for pointing out Mark's slides where he mentions JSP 2.3.

 So, will Tomcat 8 be targeted for EE 7, or will it wait until
 JSP-next comes out, even if that takes a good deal longer than EE 7?

 Also, I know that a lot depends on the timeline of EE 7, but now that
 that date is approaching, do we have a GENERAL timeframe for Tomcat
 8? Are we talking late 2013? Or could it take until 2014?


 Check Mark's presentation [1]

There will be a maintenance release of the JSP specification. The only 
potential change I am aware of is limiting the HTTP methods that JSPs respond 
to to HEAD, GET and POST.

How long the first Tomcat 8 release (that fully implements the specs) takes 
depends on how much time folks spend on implementing them. I'll have an update 
on Tomcat 8 progress at ApacheCon NA next month and the slides will be 
available from the usual place once I have written them.

As always, help is appreciated.
