Hello,
On our Tomcat installation we are utilizing the following jar files (among others): commons-httpclient-2.0.2.jar commons-beanutils-1.6.jar commons-codec-1.3.jar commons-collections-2.1.1.jar commons-dbcp-1.2.1.jar commons-discovery-0.2.jar commons-el.jar commons-lang-1.0-b1.jar commons-logging-1.0.1.jar commons-pool-1.2.jar These are mostly all some degree of outdated I know, unfortunately that is out of necessity right now, due to some legacy applications. We have identified the need to upgrade commons-httpclient to version 3.1. Due to the rather precarious nature of our system, we prefer to NOT upgrade the remaining common libs if we do not have to. I have read all through the documentation and I wasn't able to find much information on the inter-dependencies of the commons files, but based on what I've read it seems that the individual components are built in such a way that their respective versions shouldn't matter much. Is there a matrix out there that details what versions of what components will work together and which ones won't? Is this even something I should be worried about? I am new to these forums and fairly green with Java as well, so please talk plainly :-). Thanks, Brett
