Hi;
You guys , do you think to implement Java EE 6 Web Profile using Tomcat? Or
Tomcat is a Servlet& JSP container forever?
There has been some internal discussion on this topic when a journalist
was asking essentially the same question.
I think the reply I gave then (that in the end wasn't published) still
applies:
<quote>
Currently, there are no plans in the Tomcat community to implement the
web profile. Tomcat has always been focused on the Servlet and JSP/EL
specifications. We simply don't see a demand from the Tomcat community
for Tomcat to support the web profile. In my day job at SpringSource, I
regularly work with clients that use Tomcat. Some of those clients have
a requirement for a JTA implementation but I don't recall any of those
clients asking for any of the other components in the web profile.
Providing an application server that meets the web profile is on the
road map for Apache Geronimo (Tomcat provides the Servlet & JSP
implementations for Geronimo). The Tomcat committers will continue to
listen to the Tomcat community via the very active users discussion list
and, if a strong demand for web-profile support in Tomcat emerges, then
we would look at the options to provide web profile support at that point.

This is my personal view and I'm sure the other committers will speak up
if they disagree.
