Support jakarta.servlet naming over javax.servlet

[Edwardiv1]

I'd like to upgrade to newer versions of JakartaEE/JavaEE, but the package names have changed from javax.servlet to jakarta.servlet, so the Google Client SDK won't run (class not found errors).

This request is for the new Jakarta package names to be supported.

By the way, Google App Engine Java21 now supports the Jakarta names. See https://twitter.com/ludoch/status/1732519005288796264

When support of jakarta can be expected? It blocks migration from Spring Boot 2.x to 3.x

Does anyone know of a workaround for this issue? Doesn't look like it's high on Google's priority list.

@Edwardiv1 I ran sample project in Jakarta 10 EE and it just worked fine to use google-api-java-client. Would you share a simple Servlet example that fails due to ClassNotFound error?

[ludoch]

Every where you see javax.servlet.* in https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Agoogleapis%2Fgoogle-api-java-client%20javax.servlet&type=code this library will not work on Jakarta web servers.

[ludoch]

For example, try to use google-api-client-servlet/src/main/java/com/google/api/client/googleapis/extensions/servlet/notifications/WebhookUtils.java with your Jarkata servlet request object and you'll see a ClassNotFound at runtime ( Java EE servers provide at runtime the servlet APIs, they should not be bundled with your app)

@Edwardiv1 @ragnor Are you using NotificationServlet or WebhookUtils that appear in the search query ludoch's comment?
