Tom, reaaaaaaallllllly thanks mate!!!

You saved our lives!!!

Just one more question: is safe to use ZK with servlet 2.3? I saw a few comments talking about ZK was done for spec 2.4 ...

We are going to re-test all application but, just to double check, we need to know how dangerous it could be (since this approuch will be "temporary").

There is anyone using ZK with Servlet spec 2.3? Or we are going to be the lab rats?

I think there's no version problem in running servlet 2.3.

Bad things mostly happend because deprecated mathod & the change of behavior definition.
there's only one class is deprecated in 2.4 and seems no change in other old things.

take a look at ZK's source code, ZK cut off the coupling with servlet Spec before deep into webApp, which means ZK's core is "clean". And those Servlet stuffs ZK used are same to servlet Spec 2.2.

I have not really test it, but I hardly believe this wont be the problem to worry about.


PS: the vesion of ZK I readed is 2.3.1

zany,
I tested ZK with Oracle OC4J and Oracle OPMN Release 2 (both uses Servlet spec
2.3) and ZK really don't work with these versions - the container is throwing exceptions trying to execute any servlet when it try to read the lang.xml file (zk 2.2.1). Don't seems to be a spec problem since the deployment was done okay after a few changes at the web.xml file.

I updated the wiki pages regarding about OC4J and OPMN.

thanks m8

Hi,

I found something in ZK/How-Tos could help you.

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/ZK/How-Tos

search "servlet 2.3" in page.

it was used on JBoss 3.2.2 + tomcat 4.1, but I think it's helpful.

1. follow the instruction to install ZK Ajax on tomcat 4.1.

2. Download the files:

bsh-bsf-2.0b4.jar
bsh-core-2.0b4.jar
bsh-2.0b2.jar
and copy them to the lib directory under default.

3. Change the web.xml so that it will fit servlet 2.3 specifications.
