hihi all,
i noticed that the Struts 1.2.7 distribution includes many JAR files
with the same name as the Jakarta Commons project JAR files.
however, i discovered that there are real differences between them.
for example, there are a lot more classes in the Struts
commons-fileupload.jar than in the Commons' commons-fileupload.jar
prior to this, i was under the impression that JAR files with the
'commons' prefix was handled/controlled by the Jakarta Commons project.
however, now that i discovered Struts has it's own special versions of
these 'commons' JAR files, does this mean i am stuck with these
versions? (ie. should not update them with Jakarta Commons ones)
the reason this is important is because i'm in the process of migrating
from TC 4.1.24 to TC 5.5.9 and in this process it would be nice to have
the latest and greatest version of everything. i am planning to use
the Tomcat/shared/lib to centralize all the JAR files (ie. one copy of
each for entire servlet container instead of having a copy in each
webapp/WEB-INF/lib) for all my web applications, and as such i got the
latest 'commons' jars from the Jakarta Commons project like beanutils,
digester, collections, etc. but now that i got the latest Struts
version it has thrown a monkey wrench into this plan and i'm confused
as to what is going on wrt these 'commons' JAR files....
i would greatly appreciate any advice on this matter!
please and thanks in advance,
woodchuck
