Sorry for the ignorance, but I'm a but confused about this jar selection... Does it allows me to have more than one driver version for the same vendor (like having a Oracle 8i and Oracle 10g drivers at same time being used by different datasources)? If not, what is the point in selecting the JAR in this form?
Does the Geronimo's classloaders allows me to have "one" class in different versions available? I don't believe it could be managed safely, so I believe it doesn't. I like the idea of having a list containing eventual implementation options, because it is much easier to take a look in an existing environment and be aware of what drivers are available and avoid eventual incompatibilities changing drivers (like Oracle 8i and Oracle 9 or 10g drivers) Regards On 18/4/07 19:28, "Aaron Mulder" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Just remember that one of the main reasons that there's an awkward > display of tons of JARs now is that the DB2 driver (did? does?) > require 3 JARs to all be added in order to function, and only one of > those has any kind of driver implementation AFAIK.
