Thanks - that's a very handy summary. Could someone help me understand the differences between the servlet and JSP versions? Do the numbers imply no backward and/or forward compatibility? Given that the app I am administering was written some years ago for 4.1, and I've been told it needs a specific Java version (1.4.2_11) does this increase the likelihood of substantial rewrites being needed to run on newer versions of Tomcat? I'm puzzled - I don't know much about Java - how much changes? And why so quickly!?
