seems to be that no one else has that problem with a servlet-api.jar too much at svnkit.

Offending class: javax/servlet/Servlet.class .... and the tomcat forum is full of that feature .... anomaly .... problem .... how do we call it ?! and I ask myself the following: given you need a later version of servlet-api than 2.5 let's say 3.0-b11 or whatever available or demanded by a maven project. How do we go on with the fact that tomcat will generate lots of exceptions if we provide this servlet-api-3.0-b11 i.e. which might be compiled on a JDK other than tomcat was compiled with. And it might happen that this servlet-api-3.0-11u has more methods or has one less (which is worse) has two classes more or less than what tomcat uses? How do we chop correct with this issue. I am asking this because googling for his issue made me aware that the world has a real problem on that issue. SVNKit no exception.

See Servlet Spec 2.3, section 9.7.2. Offending class: javax/servlet/Servlet.class How shall we go about this failur ? Just downloaded the relevant ZIP from http://maven.tmatesoft.com/content/repositories/snapshots/org/tmatesoft/ svnkit/svnkit-dav/1.7.9-SNAPSHOT/ <http://maven.tmatesoft.com/content/repositories/snapshots/org/tmatesoft /svnkit/svnkit-dav/1.7.9-SNAPSHOT/> renamed it from ZIP to WAR, copied it to my Tomcat webapps directory and launched tomcat. Is Glasfish doing differently or do all and everybody have to adhere to this Servlet SPECS 2.3 section 9.6.2 ! I have it at home and at work, on Vista and Windows 7.0 Josef
