The Java EE 6 web profile is a specified minimal configuration targeted for small footprint servers that support "typical" web applications. The Web profile is a minimal specification, so an implementation is free to add additional services or allow applications to provision additional services. The required elements of the web profile are:
- Servlet 3.0 (JSR-315)
- JavaServer Pages (JSP) 2.2 (JSR-245)
- Expression Language (EL) 2.2 (JSR-245)
- Debugging Support for Other Languages 1.0 (JSR-45)
- Standard Tag Library for JavaServer Pages (JSTL) 1.2 (JSR-52)
- JavaServer Faces (JSF) 2.0 (JSR-314)
- Common Annotations for Java Platform 1.1 (JSR-250)
- Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) 3.1 Lite (JSR-318)
- Java Transaction API (JTA) 1.1 (JSR-907)
- Java Persistence API (JPA) 2.0 (JSR-317)
- Dependency Injection for Java 1.0 (JSR-330)
- Contexts and Dependency Injection for Java EE platform 1.0 (JSR-299)
- Bean Validation 1.0 (JSR-303)
- Managed Beans 1.0 (JSR-316)
- Interceptors 1.1 (JSR-318)
Details on the current state of each of these is traced below. Geronimo is already at the current level for some of these components, for others we'll need to located updated versions. Hopefully, this will be just new releases of components we already use, but this might also require developing some elements directly as part of Geronimo.

Support for new "java:global", "java:app", and "java:module" namespaces will be required for all profiles of Java EE 6. Unfortunately, the semantics for adding and referencing names in these new namespaces is still up in the air and is one of the items holding the spec open.

New information has emerged on this spec. There is no JSP 2.2 or EL 2.2 specification. This is, however, a maintenance release of the JSR 245 Specification that contains some minor enhancements to both the JSR 2.1 spec and the EL Information about the proposed changes can be found here.

It appears that the Web Profile specification has an error in the version number. There is no Expression Language 2.2 specification. However, the JSR 245 Maintenance Release includes some minor updates to the EL specification. These updates are not broken out into a separate spec, but are included under the umbrella of the updated JSP 2.1 spec.
