The Servlet 2.4 specification is on the horizon

On the
 Sun Microsystems website, you can now find the
 Servlet 2.4 specification. The document is currently at 
 Proposed Final Draft 2.

Jason Hunter sums up what’s coming in his article 
 Servlet 2.4: What’s in store.
 One of the biggest changes is the dependency on 
 HTTP/1.1 and 
 J2SE. In my view, there isn’t much new in the servlets themselves, or rather
 in the specification they’ll be based on. Apart from new support for internationalization 
 and the use of XML schemas in web.xml, the changes are mostly minor.
