people

i'm a bit confused with these diferent jdk versions.Could any one please clarify my doubt


1.Is jsp 2.0 equivalent to jsp 1.2.Do we have a version jsp1.3 or jsp1.4

2.What is the difference between jdk and sdk and jsdk

3.How many versions do we have for jstl.Is jstl 1.0 compatible with jsp 1.2 or it requires jsp 2.0

thanx in advance

1) No, JSP v2.0 is not the same as JSP v1.2. There is no v1.3 or 1.4. The latest version is 2.0. The latest Servlet spec version is 2.4.

2) JDK stands for Java Development Kit.
SDK stands for Standard Development Kit.
Never heard of JSDK but I guess it could stand for Java Standard Development Kit.
The term JDK is no longer used by Sun - they now call it SDK. With Java versions 1.0 and 1.1, the development kit was called JDK. But with Java 1.2 (often referred to Java 2) they changed the name to SDK. Its just marketing BS.

3) There is JSTL 1.0 and 1.1. For both versions, because it requires the EL (expression language), you must have JSP version 2.0.

Which would cause you a problem seeing as you are on Websphere 5.1 !

I can't find a download of a JSTL 1.1 implementation on its own, but it is shipped with J2EE 1.4 or JWSDP 1.4 here :
