I'm guessing ModJy will be (has been) updated to support this?

My usage is quite simple: deploying a WAR file under Tomcat so I think this
will work for me (with a maybe few XML changes) :-)

Clarification on the referenced issue/PR, these ones?

* https://github.com/jython/jython/issues/382 - Java EE Servlet Namespace
Has Been Changed From javax.servlet to jakarta.servlet
* https://github.com/jython/jython/pull/414 - Perform the jakarta EE
migration

Thanks for the heads up :-)

Chris

ers,<br>
<br>
with this email I announce that the next Jython release 2.7.5 will<br>
change javax.servlet namespace to jakarta.servlet. If you rely on this<br>
for a legacy setup, the new release won&#39;t work for you as a drop-in<br>
replacement out of the box. Please be sure to check your setup<br>
carefully before upgrading. (As of this writing, no release date is<br>
settled. This is just an early warning to minimize surprises.)<br>
<br>
For this change, we are relocating the classes<br>
<br>
 - org.python.util.PyServlet<br>
 - org.python.util.PyFilter<br>
 - org.python.util.PyServletInitializer<br>
<br>
to a new package org.python.servlet.<br>
AFAIK, frameworks usually locate servlet classes automatically, so<br>
this should not cause much trouble. Still, please check that your<br>
setup accommodates this change if necessary. The relocation allows you<br>
to add the old classes (with javax-based imports) on top of jython.jar<br>
to the classpath without name conflict. In some cases, this may be<br>
sufficient to retain workability of a legacy setup. For details, see<br>
issue #382 and pull-request #414.<br>
<br>
That said, please check the list of open issues to see if there is<br>
something you consider a release blocker or something you might want<br>
to provide a pull-request for. E.g. if someone knows how to fix #349,<br>
please join that discussion.<br>
