I recently decided to try 4.1.18 LE + Java 1.4.1 and had some trouble setting up a JNDI (pooled) datasource. After some frustration, I realized that the version I had downloaded does not include commons-dbcp.jar and commons-pool.jar in the common/lib directory. Looking at some recent traffic on this list, it is apparent to me that others have had this problem also. I just copied the jars from a standard 4.1.18 installation and things worked fine.
Does anyone know why these jars are not included in the LE bundle? While I recall reading that LE version leaves out the XML parser since one is provided by Java 1.4, I do not recall any mention of leaving out any commons stuff, particularly the dbcp and pool packages.
Perhaps on a related note, what are the reasons one might use the LE distribution with Java 1.4 rather than the standard distribution, other than the smaller download size of LE (which doesn't matter much to me). Is there any reason to think that the new capabilities provided by jdk 1.4.x are any better (e.g., performance or feature-wise) than what come with the standard Tomcat distribution? Are the Tomcat developers planning to phase out these capabilities/bundles in the near future?
Sincerely, Peter Yellman
