JSP/servlet version in WAS 8?

Question

Which version of JSP/servlet is in websphere 8? I use IBM RAD 8 with websphere 8 and wonder whether the JSP/servlet container supports method calls in EL which "the latest" servlet containers are supposed to do. Can it?

Thank you

Answer 1

WebSphere 8/8.5/8.5.5 has support for same Servlet ( 3.0 ), JSP ( 2.2 ) and JSF ( 2.0 ) versions. Only change is in JDBC version, which you may not that dependent.

Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_WebSphere_Application_Server#Version_history

Side note: IBM start having internal ibm-web-bnd and ibm-web-ext files having extension xml instead of xmi since Servlet/WebApp version 2.5 declared in web.xml

Refer below chart.
