SCWCD is impacted far more by the
Servlet &
JSP specifications than by the JDK. JSP 2.0 is a major revision of the JSP specification expected around March next year together with Servlet 2.4. I would expect that to be rolled into the specification around the same time.
The highlights? For me, they are an inbuilt expression language (essentially the JSTL language, except that you can now use it anywhere within your page); the ability to package a chunk of JSP code as a tag i.e. you don't always need
Java to write custom tags and can much more easily componentize your JSP code; extensible web-app deployment descriptors using XML namespaces; and a more complete servlet event model.
