[Lukáš Fryč (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-11877?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12659279#comment-12659279 ]

-----------------------------------------------------------

Servlets 3.0 API has following additions:
Pluggability
Easy of Development
Async Servlet support
Security

The backward compatibility is solved by

* not using Async servlet or detect its support, note that RichFaces does not use it directly, but uses Atmosphere which handle interoperability
* automatic registration of servlets does not work, user needs to register them in {{web.xml}}
