javax.servlet vs jakarta.servlet: what does PAX Web support

[Steinar Bang <sb...@dod.no>]

What kind of servlet does pax web white board of karaf 4.4.1 operate
with?  javax.servlet? Or jakarta.servlet?

I'm in the process of moving Jersey from 2.36 to 3.0.6 and jersey have
switched from javax.servlet 3.1.0 to jakarta.servlet 6.0.0.

And this broke in unit tests, because Mockrunner's
MockHttpServletRequest and MockHttpServletResoponse implements
javax.servlet.ServletRequest and javax.servlet.ServletResponse, rather
than jakarta.servlet.ServletRequest and jakarta.servlet.ServletResponse. 

So then I thought "Oooops! What does this mean for the web whiteboard?
What servlet does it expect to have injected?"

Thanks!

Looks like OSGi 7, at least, operates with javax.servlet
 https://docs.osgi.org/specification/osgi.cmpn/7.0.0/service.http.whiteboard.html

So, what to do, if someone (in this case jersey), have taken the plunge
from javax.servlet 3.1.0 to jakarta.servlet 6.0.0?
