Re: [jsp-dev] Questions Regarding JSTL Tags for EE10

Hello,

I'm cross posting this between the JSTL and JSP dev mailing lists.

I've been working on updating the TagLibs URIs (from http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/* <http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/*> to jakarta.tags.*) within the jstl-api project for EE10, and I have a few questions.

I've updated the main 1.2 / 1.1 TLDs ( core, fmt, sql, xml, and functions) URIs in my PR.  However, what should be done with the 1.0 and rt versions? Should we update their URIs? Should we remove those files? Keep them as is? These older files currently use "http://java.sun.com/jstl/ <http://java.sun.com/jstl/> rather than http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/ <http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/> (note the /jsp).

Leave them as they are.

I have a few other questions in the PR description (https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jstl-api/pull/172 <https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jstl-api/pull/172>) if anyone has answers to them (i.e. How is http://java.sun.com/jstl/xpath <http://java.sun.com/jstl/xpath> used and whether it should be updated).

*JSP Specific*:  Are there any plans to update the JSP namespace: "http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page <http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page>"?

None at this time.

Given the maturity of JSP, my expectation is that any changes from this point on will be either clarifications or to reflect changes in the specs JSP depends on (EL & Servlet).

The biggest potential change I can see is if we decide to drop the deprecated code. That would require a new major release (so Jakarta EE 11 at the earliest).

HTH,

Mark



Additionally, there are a few issues with TLDDoc (https://github.com/taglibrarydoc/tlddoc <https://github.com/taglibrarydoc/tlddoc>), and I hope that we may be able to get the ownership to update the code to handle the new namespaces.  If anyone has any contacts for the project, I would appreciate that.

Regards,

Volodymyr
