12.0
Jetty 12 supports a number of innovative features.
- The Servlet-Api has been removed from the internals of Jetty allowing for non-servlet-based application creation.
- An Environment abstraction has been created allowing support for multiple versions of the Servlet-Api.
- Support for javax.servlet and jakartaee.servlet namespaces supported.
Historically Jetty used the Servlet-Api Request/Response objects to process through the handler chain. With Jetty 12 we use our own Request/Response objects for the handler chain until processing enters an Environment that starts using the given Servlet-Api Request/Response objects.
No known security issues will release with Jetty 12.
Once Jetty 12 releases, the intention is to initiate the End of Community Support for Jetty 10 and Jetty 11.
