Well, it seems that this has already been done without a [VOTE]. After a long time away from 5.0, I attempted to build it, only to discover that it can't be built any more. As a result, I'm now (belatedly) posting my -1 to R1.2 of o.a.c.core.StandardWrapper.java. and R1.1 of o.a.c.u.SecurityUtil. Please change to a version that compiles under 1.2 at least until there is a [VOTE] to change the target version. AFAIK, the target version is still the same as 4.x (e.g. 1.2). > > Remy > > > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
