This bug should be marked invalid - or made an enhancement to documentation. The problem is that the user is atempting to compile with j2se 1.4. The java.sql.Connection interface has had a new method added since 1.4: setHoldability(int) . (pls see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/sql/Connection.html ). As a result, GenericConnection.java no longer correctly implements java.sql.Connection. To resolve this, use the appropriate version jdk. The proposed solution below will break at run-time, though it may correctly for compilation. The jdk requirements for Struts 1.02 are: "Java2 (version 1.2 or later)" from the readme in the version of the code I have (Feb 10, 2002). If anything, the readme file should be updated to reflect incompatibility with JDK 1.4 in org.apache.struts.util.GenericConnection.java. Again, this bug is INVALID. Pls use JDK 1.3.1 or some other jdk prior to 1.4 I attempted to add this feedback to bugzilla but have no account to login. Is there some "guest" account I should know about?
