I assumed increased flexibility + backwards compatibility would be welcome. After all, Tomcat has to serve the needs of many different users. Some of those users, including me, are working for clients who aren't willing to spend the money on things like WebLogic or Oracle. Instead, we use Tomcat, which works great, and databases like PostgreSQL and MySQL. As you've shown with the views, as a PostgreSQL user, I don't absolutely NEED the patch I've provided, but I consider it an improvement nonetheless because I value flexible designs. I would expect the MySQL users to appreciate a solution that works for everyone, not just everyone else.
After this patch, I was considering cleaning up some of the exception handling issues in JDBCRealm, but from now on I'll confine myself to ordinary bug fixes and not design "improvements." john -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] g]On Behalf Of Ignacio J.
