http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25182 Datasource, DBCP documentation woes, suggested documentation fix Summary: Datasource, DBCP documentation woes, suggested documentation fix Product: Struts Version: 1.1 Final Platform: Other URL: http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/faqs/database.html OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Documentation AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] You need booth commons-pooling and commons-dbcp to get Struts Datasources to work, but this is not mentioned in the documentation and the required jar files do not ship with Blank.war. In fact in Struts 1.1., you also need Struts Legacy jar file as well. Of course, if you are using Tomcat then both commons-pooling and commons-dbcp ship in the shared folder but you do need to download them if you are using another application server. You do need to download them only f you are going to use Struts Datasources. I think either http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/configuration.html#data-source_config or http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/faqs/database.html should make note of this. Here is a stab at it. Struts Datasources require commons-pooling and commons-dbcp. The blank.war does not have commons-pooling or commons-dbcp. If you want to use Struts datasource, you will need to download commons-pooling and commons-dbcp from the following locations: http://jakarta.apache.org/site/binindex.cgi#commons-dbcp http://jakarta.apache.org/site/binindex.cgi#commons-pool Download the above archives and un-archive them. Then copy the jar files commons-pool-1.1.jar, and commons-dbcp-1.1.jar into the WEB-INF/lib directory of your web application. Note that Tomcat 5 ships with commons-dbcp and commons-pool so you do not need to download and install commons-dbcp and commons-pool if you are using Tomcat. In addition to the above two jar files, you will need to use the struts-legacy.jar jar file that ships with Struts 1.1. Copy the struts-legacy.jar file to the WEB-INF/lib directory of your web application. This might be a moot point depending on how soon Struts 1.2 comes out, and if commons-pooling and commons-dbcp ship with Struts. Should Struts ship with all of the commons jar files needed to get Struts datasources working?
