And Java EE 5 has lots of others improvments, EJB 3 and Servlet 2.5 are just a small part of it. Yes, but eventualy people will move to version 2.5
Of course it takes a long time … because we are talking mostly about enterprise applications that have a long life.
And Java EE 5 has lots of others improvments, EJB 3 and Servlet 2.5 are just a small part of it.

The major web hosting control panel suppliers like Ensim and Plesk are now <em>two</em> levels behind in their support of the latest Java web specs. Plesk plans support for Tomcat 5.0 (which works with Servlet 2.4) sometime in February or March of this year with Plesk 8 for *nix. So outside of enterprise deployments of EJB app servers, Servlet 2.5 won't cause a ripple.
