[jstl-dev] Query about javax to jakarta

[林梅琴 <linlinmq@xxxxxxx>]

Hi team,

This is Maggie from sap. I hope this is the right mail that I can query about the migration from javax to Jakarta.

 

In one of our service, we import the following dependency:

<dependency>

            <groupId>org.glassfish.web</groupId>

            <artifactId>javax.servlet.jsp.jstl</artifactId>

            <version>1.2.5</version>

        </dependency>

 

We noticed that the javax.servlet.jsp.jstl latest release is 1.2.5 and then the namespace is changed, the newer artifact is “Jakarta.servlet.jsp.jstl”.

 

Our tomcat version is 8.5.78, even we want to upgrade the dependency version, according to the post, we can only use version 1.2.6 of “Jakarta.servlet.jsp.jstl”.

 

<dependency>

            <groupId>org.glassfish.web</groupId>

            <artifactId>jakarta.servlet.jsp.jstl</artifactId>

            <version>1.2.6</version>

        </dependency>

 

 

 

My question is that do me need to update our dependency from “javax.servlet.jsp.jstl” to “Jakarta.servlet.jsp.jstl” in order to get better support (e.g. security issue fix). If we use version 1.2.6 of “Jakarta.servlet.jsp.jstl”, does this version under supported?

 

 

Thanks a lot.
