In my reading, I discovered that this was no longer a preferred way to set up database connections for struts (in leiu of other connection frameworks like Spring or custom connection layers) and was kept in place for legacy applications. (Is this not correct?) > make SURE commons-pooling.jar, commons-dbcp.jar and > commons-collections.jar are in your ./WEB-INF/lib folder None of these jar files are in either my /WEB-INF/lib folder or my /commons/lib folders. Are these necessary for implementing connection pooling? They are not on my development server either, yet that connection pool seems to be working? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
