Sorry, Richard Bondi and I left out Xalan and Xerces because the version of the JDK we used (1.4.x) included an acceptable XML parser and XSL transformation engine. As I recall, Protomatter, JDBC, commons-dbcp, commons-pool, and servlet (JARs, the whole of them) are required for compiling DBforms, at least up through 1.1.3 pr 2.

Xalan and Xerces are only required if the JDK doesn't include XML/XSL support, so only if the user is running a JDK or JRE prior to version 1.4, when javax.xml.* was added to J2SE. (Both Tomcat and Devgui run fine with J2SE XML support, incidentally.)

Yours,
Matthew

Jumpstart Ms SQL server database section says we NEED THESE JARS TO HAVE
AN APP WHICH USES DBFORMS

- Struts v. 1.0.2

- commons-beanutils.jar

-commons-collections.jar

- commons-digester.jar

- commons-logging.jar

- commons-validator.jar

- log4j.jar

- cos.jar

AND I KNOW WE ALSO NEED

xerces (which is not listed above because I think that MS setup has a
tomcat or java sdk version that has it included)

xalan : FOR DEVGUI

servletapi : INCLUDED IN TOMCAT (MUST BE 4.X AS TRY/CATCH/FINALLY CLAUSE
        NEEDS SERVLETAPI 2.3

protomatter : If WE USE THAT CONNECTION POOL
 hsqldb : IF WE USE HENNER'S BOOKSTORE EXAMPLE
jasperreports : IF WE WANT TO MAKE THOSE REPORTS


WHAT ABOUT:


 jdbc   2.0
 commons-dbcp
 commons-pool : JAKARTA CONNECTION POOL????
 commons-lang
 commons-util

WHAT SHOULD WE BE TELLING USERS ABOUT THESE JARS? IS IT NECESSARY FOR
EVERYONE TO PUT THEM IN WEB-APP/LIB AT INSTALL TIME????????

NOTE: I think we should document in project.xml what each jar is used
for example, this is helpful:
<!--
       -  j2ee.jar is used to compile the GUI for DbForms, it provides
       -  the varios javax.xml classes like Streamer and
TransformationFactory.
       -  It is not needed by the webapp, and can be commented out.
       -->

Other jars such as commons-lang have no notes and so who knows what it
is needed for????? I have it in my webapp/lib but don't have time to
test it by taking it out and trying dbf without it just now.

Using <war.bundle.jar>true</war.bundle.jar> to tell what is needed might
be really as clearly jasperreports, protomatter, hsqldb ect are only
needed if you happen to use those features.  Or do we want to tell
everyone to install all the jars in installation so they can use those
features later.
