Struts Dev Team - please verify my hypothesis below. I believe the Struts JARs and the DBCP JARs from common should be the same. After all, Struts does use the DBCP in it's distribution. You might want to upgrade to the latest build of Struts (which includes DBCP and Logging, among others). I know they're planning on releasing 1.1 Beta 2 this weekend.
