Next Generation Jetty and Servlets
Jetty 5.0.0 is out the door and the 2.4 servlet spec is implemented. So what's next for Jetty and what's next for the servlet API? It's been a long journey for Jetty from it's birth in late 1995 to the 5.0.0 release. When the core of Jetty was written, there was no J2ME, J2EE, or even J2SE, nor a servlet API, no non-blocking IO and multiple CPU machines were rare and no JVM used them. The situation is much the same for the servlet API, which has grown from a simple protocol handler to a core component architecture for enterprise solutions.
