Hi folks,
in bug 62670 [1] -- contrary to my statement -- Mark pointed out that is
it pefectly legal to have a JDBC driver in WEB-INF/lib. While I was
living for years with the assumption that this is discouraged because
the DriverManager is VM wide and not classloader-wide, plus numerous SO
questions have been asked about this.
While reading [2] it is still not clear why this is a perfectly legal case.
How can we improve the docs to make it crystal clear for users under
which circumstances a driver is valid in WEB-INF/lib?
