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. -----Original Message----- From: news [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Vic Cekvenich Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2003 1:43 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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 ) .V Rick Hightower wrote: > Currently 1.1 does not ship with commons jar files needed to get Struts > datasources working. > > > > You need booth commons-pooling and commons-dbcp to get Struts Datasources to > work, but they are *not* included with Struts 1.1.
