Looking for Servlet 2.5 Spec (pdf) -- only found API

Hi,

I'm looking for the pdf file for the Servlet 2.5 spec. Previous versions (2.4 and below) were available as a pdf file:

http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/download.html

But now for v2.5, only the API is available... what happened? Anyone know how I can get my hands on the pdf file for the Servlet 2.5 spec?

You'll notice in the website mentioned above, that clicking on any Servlet spec other than 2.5 produces a spec as an expected pdf file, rather than an API!

Please help!

-Will

Hi Rahul,

Thanks for your reply. The link you posted takes me to a different, non-final version of the spec. That is, it takes me to the maintenace review draft rather than the maintance release version.

I'm looking for the final, maintenance release version of Servlet 2.5 spec. According to past naming conventions, it should be called:

servlet-2_5-mrel-spec.pdf

...where:

- "mr" = maintenance review draft

- "mrel" = maintance release (what I'm looking for)

Is there someone that can please help me find "servlet-2_5-mrel-spec.pdf"?

Thank you,

-Will

So why does it state so on the Servlet homepage http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/

Click at the link behind "Final Release of the Servlet 2.5 Specification". You'll still see that it is the maintenance release. And there is also one link to the final release which points to 2.4. How confusing from Sun :)

I shouldn't care about it however. Just get the latest documentation, it's sufficient.
