Has anyone else encountered this or a similar issue?



Thanks in advance,
-- Matt

We have a tomcat 5.5 java application which has been successfully using velocity 1.4 for a number of years (most recently on Fedora 12). When we attempted to run this application on Fedora 13 Beta (which uses velocity 1.6.3), we receive the following stack dump: We have verified that the jakarta-common-lang jar file exists and is readable from /usr/share/java, and when we downgraded velocity 1.6.3 to 1.4, the application began running successfully. The application needs to continue to support velocity 1.4 --- are there migration guidelines for this sort of issue that will allow the application to continue to work with velocity 1.4, but also work with velocity 1.6?
