The test application is not a valid Servlet 2.4 application.
The issues are:
- The application has been compiled against a later version of the Servlet API.
It is therefore possible that it may call methods that are not valid in Servlet
2.4. Tomcat makes no efforts to ensure that applications claiming a particular
version of the specification do not use API calls from a later version of the
specification unless the specification explicitly requires it to provide
special handling (e.g. for backwards compatibility). To provide general
protection of this nature would add complexity and impact performance to
address what is essentially a build issue.
- The application can not be compiled using a 1.4 JDK (the minimum Java version
required by Servlet 2.4) since it uses annotations. While applications may be
compiled with a later Java version, they must be compilable with the minimum
Java version.
