There has been alot of discussion about this on the commons-dev list, which I haven't been following too closely, but my understanding goes along the following lines
* the only dependancy struts has on collections are from those inherited from digester and beanutils. * my understanding is that the changes to the public api which make 2.1 and 3.0 incompatible don't affect the classes used by either beanutils or digester and as such Struts should work with either. * a decissions been taken to copy the few classes that digester and beanutils depend on into beanutils so that the next release of both these components won't depend on collections at all. I believe this is a short term measure while api's affected are deprecated and then the plan would be to remove them in a subsequent release. Here are a few pointers to the commons discussion, if you go search the archive though, theres bucket loads of messages on this and related stuff. http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg40860.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg41088.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg39981.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg37636.html Niall ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sherlock, Simon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, May 21, 2004 11:45 AM Subject: Struts 1.1 and Collections 3.0 > Is it OK to update Struts 1.1 with the new commons-collections.jar that > comes with collections version 3?
