I was wondering the same, i.e if the commons package was a replacement. However, it seems that by default tomcat looks for that org.apache.tomcat.xxxx classes, I am not sure where that is configured (maybe hardcoded?). I couldn't find any references in the configurations files. Also another possible problem is that legacy applications rely on that class in the configuration. Finally, since the tomcat-dbcp.jar has a difference namespace than the commons one, is there a risk in leaving it there? Using the commons is probably a better idea, and it might only require some extra configuration by default -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
