Well, i am using weblogic 5.1, which seems to be the most ignorant servlet container I have ever used. It requires explicit paths to EVERY class, so I have to reference the root of my packages (i.e. WEB-INF/classes) and EVERY individual jar file that needs to be referenced at run time, even if they are placed in WEB-INF/lib. Normally I would leave things as is, but my classpath is rediculous as is, and it seems like all these jars combined with replaced about eight individual entries with one commons-*.jar file.
Do you follow my logic?

Coupling all the commons products together violates their designed
modularity and introduces bloat. I personally don't have warm fuzzies
about
bundling 8 megs of fluff with every war and passing it around between
different servers. It especially gets in the way of JBoss, when a large
transfer (even just filesystem-to-filesystem) can cause the deployer to
hose
itself by trying to load the thing before it's actually there.
Then again, maybe your situation is different...

that's the only drawback, I think I may go ahead and combine them. Anyone
else care to comment?
