[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIREVE-316?page=comments#action_12361037 ]
Trustin Lee commented on DIREVE-316: ------------------------------------ The original reason we forked commons-* is because of the infamous class loader problem when ApacheDS is embedded in WAS. This became a problem because WAS also used commons-* JARs. I guess this issue must have been resolved in many WAS in market. The other reason I discussed with Alex was that commons-* projects sometimes introduces the change of behavior between minor version-ups, and it produces unexpected bugs. It makes sense, but it think this is a matter of trust for other projects. I think we cannot say less dependency is a good thing IMHO. BTW I had to fork NIO ByteBuffer because it was really hard to extend java.nio.ByteBuffer. :) > StringUtils & StringTools > ------------------------- > > Key: DIREVE-316 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIREVE-316 > Project: Directory Server > Type: Improvement > Reporter: Emmanuel Lecharny > Priority: Minor > > We have two classes which semantics are almost the same : > - StringTools in ldap-common > - StringUtils in asn1-codec > The second one is horrible, because it overlaps with the > a.o.commons.lang.StringUtils. > I think it could be good to merge both classes into StringTools, and to move > this class in a common subproject to be created (ads-commons, for instance). > wdyt ? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
