Rob Walker commented on FELIX-4421:
-----------------------------------

Happy to run some basic real world tests on this when ready.

Have a task to update our Felix and HTTP service versions, and it'd be great to move right up to Jetty 8.

We don't currently make use of Servlet API 3.0 features, but it would give it a run out in a real application to see if anything that used to work breaks.

> Currently, the Jetty version embedded in Felix Http Jetty is version 7.6.13.v20130916. In order to leverage features available in Servlet API 3.0 only, I'd like to change the embedded version to 8.1.14.v20131031.
> A quick test shows that increasing this version number in parent/pom.xml alone requires some small changes to JettyService, deployment of a fresh build of Http Jetty into an OSGI container succeeds, but no request can be handled, because Jetty internally calls methods on interfaces and classes that were only introduced in Servlet API 3.0.
> This implies that the servlet version supported should be upped to 3.0 as well. In order to be backward compatible with bundles expecting a 2.x version, one could also export a virtual version (e.g. 2.6) to satisfy those.
