Hi,

I would also like to know the relashionship between the Apache Geronimo 
"specs" version of the servlet API and JSP specifications.
For instance, we currently get the Servlet 2.4 API with both Geronimo 
"specs" and Tomcat 5.5. Similar for JSP.

Are they the same?

Which one should be mavenized and used everywhere Servlet adn JSP are 
needed?

Regards to all,
Fernando
