Yeah, you are right. I was a bit too harsh. Just frustrated, but I still shouldn't take it out on the developers. I admit I usually have very little problems with Apache Foundation Software. This time has been rough though. I'm actually trying to promote the use of Apache/Tomcat over a commercial alternative but it doesn't look very well when I can't get it to work and the commercial test case works flawlessly the first time out. Still I am sorry for getting carried away.

Mark, The "Free for a reason" comment is a too harsh. Most Apache Foundation Software is of a higher quality than most commercial software in my opinion. I didn't want to start a flame war when I sent my original post. My point was that the Apache2 connectors area is significantly below the high quality I've grown to expect from Apache Software.
