Support of Servlet API 3.1 on WebSphere 8.5.5

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

SSA has a large traditional WAS footprint (on Z and distributed systems)  and an upgrade is going to take a large effort .The ask is for a fixpack to support Struts 6 with support for Servlet 3.1 .There may be other customers also that may be impacted by this .

 

Struts 6 requires Servlet API 3.1.  Reference: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/Struts+2.5+to+6.0.0+migration

WebSphere 8.5.5 does not support Servlet API 3.1. 

Reference: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/was-nd/8.5.5?topic=overview-specifications-api-documentation (search for the word "Servlet").

    WebSphere Application Server 9.0.5 includes support for the full Java EE 7 programming model, including Servlet 3.1. It would not be possible to provide Servlet 3.1 in 8.5.5 without forcing an application and configuration migration or without breaking backward compatibility. As a result customers wanting Servlet 3.1 should be planning a migration of those applications to WebSphere traditional 9.0.5 or Liberty both of which provide the Servlet 3.1 programming model. Documentation about Servlet 3.1 in WebSphere traditional 9.0.5 is here. If you would like to discuss this decision further, please contact Graham Charters <charters@uk.ibm.com>.
