Description

Please update the servlet-api jar from 2.5 to javax.servlet 3.0 via Maven:

<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId>
<version>3.0.1</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

I am running a 2.0.3 dev-cluster and can confirm compatibility. I have removed the servlet-api-2.5.jar file and replaced it with javax.servlet-3.0.jar file. I am using javax.servlet-3.0 because it implements methods that I use for a filter, namely the HttpServletResponse.getStatus() method.

I believe it is a gain to have this dependency as it allows more functionality and has so far proven to be backwards compatible.
