Compatibility with tomcat10 (javax.servlet --> jakarta.servlet)

[tfrancart]

Problem description

Installing RDF4J would be a lot easier if it was compatible with tomcat10, that is if the workbench + server would support jakarta.servlet packages.
tomcat9 is not available anymore in Ubuntu 24 repositories.

Preferred solution

2 versions of the workench + server : one with javax.servlet for backward compatibility, one with jakarta.servlet for current servlet container

Try this branch: #5683

Hi @tfrancart

we have integrated the Jakarta migration into the develop branch as of #3559.
This is part of the released 6.0 M1 build.

With that recent versions of application servers (Jetty 12, Tomcat 10) are expected to work.

Please retry and let us know. I suggest to resolve this issue, but do not hesitate to reopen if problems remain
