Is Servlet 2.4 supported by SAP Netweaver Web Application Server 7.0?

Hello,

Is Servlet 2.4 supported by SAP Netweaver Web Application Server 7.0?

I need to be able to specify <dispatcher> tags in the web.xml of a Web Module Project but with Netweaver Developer Studio 7.0, I get errors when setting version to 2.4 in my descriptor.

Thanks for your insight,

Regards,

Tanguy

Hi Tanguy,

Servlet 2.4 is part of J2EE 1.4. SAP NetWeaver AS Java 7.0 is J2EE 1.3 compatible and not J2EE 1.4 => does not support Servlet 2.4.

SAP NetWeaver CE 7.1 provides full support for Java EE 5, hence J2EE 1.4 as well. This is the (only) way to go if you need Servlet 2.4 or 2.5.

HTH!

Hello Vladimir,

thank you for your answer and sorry for cross-posting but I needed to be sure, and I wasn't sure about the answer I had from Bojidar Kadrev because he isn't from SAP (as it some kind of answer you must trust and cannot check). And as I see that my SAP Netweaver 2004s installation has C:\j2sdk1.4.2_12-x64\ in its path, it became difficult to say.

I'll close my questions.

Regards,

Tanguy

Actually, Bojidar does is from SAP. You can verify that by clicking on his name.

The answer you were looking for is available on help.sap.com and elsewhere (e.g. in the release notes for the particular NW release).

Finally, JDK != J2EE

Cheers,

Usually there's a SAP icon beside the name, it seems intended for that

Now I've seen on http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04S/current/index.html and saw that it supports J2EE 1.3 only (and that J2EE is different thatn J2SE) and on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Servlet we see that Servlet 2.4 needs J2EE 1.4 at least.

Thanks for helping Valdimir!
