I agree with them being deprecated. I always wondered why Struts had its own
way of doing connection pools. 

Although it is convienient in the sense that every app server has a
different way of creating a connection pool. At least with Struts you could
write an application that did not need different connection pool
configuration for every app server.

Subject: Re: Should Struts ship with all of the commons jar files needed to
get Struts datasources working?

Hello Rick,

They are deprecated; targeted for removal; and for a good reason, since 
it's a bad practice to have a data source served by the web app., a 
container provides a data source. In esence, maybe legacy jar should not 
be included any more, it has been a while since 1.1 released.
There is to much talk about data connection's as it is on user.

(I wish more be taged as deprected :logic/bean, since in the future... 
they will be and there was a comment on dev list that no one is keen to 
patch, so just give users a signal )
