Re: [dbcp] 1.3 vs. 1.4 jdk

[John McNally <jm...@collab.net>]

Dbcp can compile under both jdk's, so you can see an example of using
ant filtering to comment out jdbc3.0 methods.

The problem with two jars is that it makes usage in another product more
difficult.  I think tomcat would prefer to include only one jar.

I believe our intention is to distribute a jar compiled with jdk1.4 as
it is most compatible.  I think this could vary with different jvm's,
though that appears to be the case for Sun's.

I was concerned because it seems usage of the cvs head mysql jdbc driver
compiled with 1.4 jdk does result in ClassNotFoundErrors if used in a
1.3 jvm, I think we have avoided this problem in dbcp, it is just
something I wanted to remind others and as something that should be
tested before we ship final.
