Subject: [VOTE] Changing Struts 1.1 to depend on Commons Packages
As I cc'd to this list, the 1.0 versions of the beanutils, collections,
and digester packages have been released under the Commons project. Now
that these are official 1.0 releases, I propose to modify the Struts 1.1
environment to depend on these packages, instead of the internal Struts
versions (which have generally been deprecated).
This will involve the following steps:
* Modify the build environment to depend on these three packages
* Modify internal Struts classes that rely on these packages to use
the commons packages instead (normally just a change to the "import"
statement).
* Remove the internal versions of these classes.
* Include these three packages in the Struts distribution (including
inside the WAR files for each of the Struts web apps.
* Modifying the appropriate documentation to mention the fact that these
JARs, along with "struts.jar", must be included in the /WEB-INF/lib
directory of Struts-based web applications.
Making these changes will allow Struts itself to remain focused on the
framework and custom tag libraries, while also benefitting from
improvements in these three packages made by other projects that utilize
them. (In the future, we'll probably do the same thing with the generic
connection pool).
Is everybody OK with doing this?
