Perhaps I misunderstanding something here? I would like to ask why Struts didn't just incorporate Poolman or Expresso's Connection pooling instead of developing another? i.e. Expresso's has been around since '96 and is certainly stable! It's an Apache Style license so the code is certainly open source compatible with Struts Apache license. This brings up for me a larger question I am not clear on.... What is Struts view on building on/integrating/contributing with third party open source projects and not reinventing wheels? With the shoe on the other foot we support other open source projects (including several Apache projects) by building on them and thus have an area in Expresso's CVS for third party libraries which is where Struts resides. This benefits the open source movement by making projects stronger and increasing mindshare and strengthening their acceptance as open standards. I'm sure you'll agree the Expresso community has contributed in positive ways to the Struts code and community. I look forward to hearing back. -- Sandra Cann http://www.jcorporate.com Open Standards based Java components "Our separation from each other is an optical illusion of consciousness."
