Struts 1.1 has dependencies to some commons projects. First 1.1 pre-release of Struts used commons-dbcp for the DataSource functionnality in replacement of GenericDataSource .
Waiting for this commons to get stable before releasing 1.1 final, Struts commiters agreed to go back to GenericDataSource because commons-dbcp looked very unstable. Struts-legacy has been created to include this class outside of Struts core as DefaultDataSource have been deprecated : Future Struts version will set the <datasource> "type" attribute to mandatory, so you will have to set your selected DataSource (that can be commons-dbcp, and lot's of us use container pool service and JNDI to get a DataSource).
