Re: [Jython-users] Announcement: The next Jython release changes javax.servlet to jakarta.servlet.

[Chris C. <chr...@ac...>]

I'm guessing ModJy will be (has been) updated to support this?

My usage is quite simple: deploying a WAR file under Tomcat so I think this
will work for me (with a maybe few XML changes) :-)

Clarification on the referenced issue/PR, these ones?

* https://github.com/jython/jython/issues/382 - Java EE Servlet Namespace
Has Been Changed From javax.servlet to jakarta.servlet
* https://github.com/jython/jython/pull/414 - Perform the jakarta EE
migration

Thanks for the heads up :-)
