Servlet 2.4 doesn't add a huge amount of stuff, but it is useful. The things I like best:
* Request listeners (parallel to session and context listeners)
* Ability to request filters to be executed on RequestDispatcher calls
JSP 2.0, on the other hand, is a *huge* improvement in usability over JSP 1.2, and has lots of cool new things, such as:
* EL expressions everywhere (even in template text), not just in tag attributes on JSTL tags.
* New API for creating tags (SimpleTag) that is much easier to use
* JSP fragments -- essentially taking a chunk of JSP code and telling the system to treat it like a reusable tag
* Ability to declare a tag that takes an arbitrary set of attributes
Based on the most recent discussion on the developer list about this, it seems likely that Struts 2.0 will be based on this combination (Servlet 2.4 and JSP 2.0), while Struts 1.x will stay based on Servlet 2.2 and JSP 1.1.
