Where are the others?
Commons collections seems to be a relict and not really used. DBCP and pool is contained in tomcat-dbcp.jar. We ranem the packages in order to make to dbcp and pool classes independant of any webapp bundled dbcp or pool versions. The renaming is done by an ant target named "build-tomcat-dbcp" in our main build.xml. Which version gets used for a Tomcat release is decided when doing the release, usually it's the latest one. Technically the information is contained in build.properties.default. There is a very recent discussion about providing an alternative database pool, the code was brought into our repos this week. We might provide it as an alternative pool and some time in the future this implementation might become the default database pool for Tomcat. But this is far from being decided. > Is there 1-1 mapping between Apache Commons module version and Tomcat > version? I mean, new version of Apache common module (e.g fixing > security issue) results in new Tomcat version? No strict mapping. Of course if the dbcp bug is *very* serious, it's not unlikely, that there will be Tomcat release.
