Trimmed down JSTL for JSP 1.1

[Eugene Bekker <eu...@hotmail.com>]

Hello,

I was wondering if there was any current effort going on for back-porting 
the Jakarta Standard Taglib to run under JSP 1.1?  Obviously this would be 
only a partially compliant port of JSTL as it depends on several new 
additions specific to the Servlet 2.3/JSP 1.2 specs.

Based on this mailing list's archive, I saw some mention of interest, and 
someone mentioned a cursory attempt at porting an incomplete "EA" version 
back in Nov of last year (ref the thread "JSTL/Standard not really JSP 
1.1?"), but last mention was back in May.

I've been using the JSTL tags extensively in several projects, but one of my 
recent projects is constrained to JSP 1.1 and I wanted to stay within the 
standard set as much as possible.  I made a quick attempt to port over the 
JSTL code back to 2.2/1.1 and so far it's been promising, but before moving 
forward I wanted to make sure I wasn't duplicating work.

As far as I know, there's no work in progress [or at least publically in
progress] porting JSTL to 1.1. While there was talk of it a while back, I
don't think anyone wanted to commit themselves until JSTL itself was
released and the specification stopped changing.

I can't see why there'd be any negative views to a JSTL port at Jakarta.
It makes a lot of sense even if it is a limited life project.
