JSP support in Jetty 9.3

Question

I'm trying to upgrade embedded Jetty to the latest version (9.3.2.v20150730 as of now) from an older release (9.3.0.M1). I'm using JSP and current maven dependency is as follows:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.eclipse.jetty</groupId>
    <artifactId>jetty-jsp</artifactId>
    <version>9.3.0.M1</version>
</dependency>

However I can't find a new version for this dependency in maven central.

Looks like they have not released new jetty-jsp artifacts after 9.3.0.M1 for Jetty 9.3. New versions for all other jetty-related artifacts are available.

What is the alternative I should use for JSP support with latest Jetty version?

Answer 1

I got the answer from jett-users mailing list. Updated dependency is:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.eclipse.jetty</groupId>
        <artifactId>apache-jsp</artifactId>
        <version>${jetty.version}</version>
    </dependency>

Also, from jetty-announce list:

The 9.2 release has switched to using the Apache version of Jasper for JSP and JSTL. Early releases of Jetty used these implementations, but switched to Glassfish when it became the reference implementation. However the Apache version is now more rigorously maintained and hence we have switched back. Currently we are using a slightly modified version of 8.0.3, however our modifications have been contributed back to apache and have been accepted for their 8.0.9 release, so we will soon switch to using a standard jar from Apache.

Apparently they have switched back to standard jar from Apache.
