Re: The status of tomcat taglibs project?

[Rex Wang <rw...@gmail.com>]

Thank you sebb and Jeremy,

Glad to see many fixes in the past few weeks. And I have more questions :-)

1. I open a new item(#50064) in bugzilla to discuss bundle-ify the taglibs
jars and also provided a patch. Any comments about this idea?

2. When do you plan to make the first release? Our project really wants to
switch to the open source implementation..

3. For the patch in #48773, could anyone help review and apply it?

-Rex

Trunk now passes the JSTL1.2 TCK so we can release when we want to. However,
there have already been some large changes in the 1.2 stream (such as the
move to the Tomcat project, using a 1.5 runtime, switching to Maven build)
that will be visible to users so if we are going to make any others my vote
would be to do that before releasing 1.2.0 so they are only impacted once;
examples of these are:

* using a different XPath implementation to fix the performance issues with
the XML tags (changes dependencies)
* splitting out the 1.0 compatibility support into a different artifact
* clean-up on the Maven POMs (especially any changes that impact the parent
POM)

We may also need to revise the release process based on the move to the
Tomcat project and Maven build.

With that in mind, what do people think about shooting for a release towards
the end of the month?

+1, Thanks for raising this! Jeremy.

Also, hope the release can be made as OSGi bundles.

Patch for DataSourceWrapper #48773, problem with memory leak

I think there's a problem here that would cause a memory leak when the JDBC Driver is bundled with an application jar. When the driver class is instantiated, it is meant to register itself with DriverManager creating a hard reference to a class loaded by the application ClassLoader. This would prevent the webapp from unloading causing a memory leak.

This would appear to be an existing issue so I applied the patch and resolved the bug. I'll open another to track.
