Distributed version of commons-daemon.jar
Hi guys,
I had a bug starting tomcat6 with (commons-daemon). The problem was that
common-daemons was not able to register native methods (with
commons-daemon.jar). Digging into the problem made me find that the file
commons-daemon.jar distributed in
http://apache.infocom.ua/tomcat/tomcat-6/v6.0.29/src/apache-tomcat-6.0.29-src.tar.gz
was
not compatible with the (only) version of common-daemons wich is distributed
right now (http://www.eu.apache.org/dist/commons/daemon/source/). Everything
worked fine when I got a copy of 1.0.2 from the svn tags.
So since the common-daemons-1.0.2 is no more distributed and the jar
distributed in tomcat-6.0.29 seems to be in version 2, do you think it would
be a good idea to to update tomcat6.0.29-src.tar.gz with the
common-daemons-1.0.3.jar? Actually almost nobody will ever compile
common-daemons-1.0,2 again since the archive is no more available.
I got this problem while trying to update the AUR from archlinux:

Thank you

The projects are independent. They do not do common releases and they
shouldn't. Tomcat is a consumer of commons-daemon, so it uses whichever
version is appropriate at the moment of a Tomcat realease. If you run
into a problem and you think you do need to do an update of
commons-daemon alone, you would likely need to update the native parts
and the Java parts of commons-daemon.

As usual the Manifest inside the jar (META-INF/MANIFEST.MF) contains the
info:
...
Implementation-Title: Commons Daemon
Implementation-Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation
Implementation-Vendor-Id: org.apache
Implementation-Version: 1.0.2
Specification-Title: Commons Daemon
Specification-Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation
Specification-Version: 1.0.2
...
and the directory META-INF/maven contains the info in Maven format.

Oh yeah my bad, but it's quite the same problem...

commons-daemon-1.0.3 (unix binary files) was not able to launch tomcat with
commons-daemon-1.0.2.jar (unable to register native methods error). It only
worked with commons-daemon-1.0.2 unix binary files which is not a big
surprise, but the point is that the head versions of both projects are
incompatible out of the box.

You reassure me :P. I forgot that apache had an archive repo.

Good thanks
I guess it is not possible to have something like commons-daemon.1.0.3.jar
in the bin folder and then ln -s to commons-daemon.jar because of Windows
support? Or is the version of the jar file written somewhere in the bin
archive. I tried to grep it with no success.

There is not commons-daemon.jar distributed in the Tomcat source
download. It is only contained in the binary downloads.

Right now the recent version is 1.0.3 not 1.0.2. It is likely, that in a
few days it'll be 1.0.4. Did you mean 1.0.3?

All old versions are still available at archive.apache.org/dist. No ASF
distributed software version ever goes away :)
Dependencies and optional software bundled with Tomcat are usually
updated with regular Tomcat releases. In this case I expect 6.0.30 is
not too far away (couple of weeks maybe) and will contain daemon 1.0.3
or likely even 1.0.4 then.
The change for daemon 1.0.3 was done in August already, but not yet
released. See:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=989024
