V3.0

Hello Jaya,

the major version change from 2.0 to 3.0 indicates that the API is *not*
compatible. Due to the history of the HttpClient code base, the API is full
of things we'd like to get rid of.
If you have a look at the new 4.0 code base, you'll notice that the API will
get a complete overhaul that is going to break literally everything.
>>From 2.0 to 3.0 the changes are less dramatic, but even
small changes break binary compatibility. You can try to re-compile the
cactus code base against HC 3.0 to see whether it is compatible on a source
code level. I guess it isn't, but the required changes should be minor.

You should talk to the cactus guys about their roadmap regarding an upgrade
to HC 3.0. Since HC 3.0 is not yet a stable release, they will probably not
upgrade right away.
But we hope to have a stable 3.0 release shortly, and they may consider
upgrading immediately after. Until then, you have to recompile and maybe
modify the cactus code to work with 3.0.

hope that helps,
  Roland
