Re: [PATCH] allow tomcat5 to compile/run with JDK1.3

[Tim Funk]

To get functionality like jdkCompat (and looking at tomcat3), it looks like something similar to the following would need added to the existing jakarta-tomcat-catalina/catalina/build.xml:
------------------------------------------
<exclude name="org/apache/catalina/util/compat/JdkCompat14.java"
unless="jdk.1.4.present"/>
------------------------------------------
Where would jdkCompat live with respect to package name? Does it belong in catalina? (org.apache.catalina.util.compat.ClassXXX)

Are there any other methods (wishlist) which need to be here?

Or am I getting ahead of myself and should I be patient and wait for someone with better insight to do this instead?

-Tim

Oh, NO. Please don't even think about it.... Commons-dbcp must do it because
it is impossible to write a JDBC driver that works and compiles in both 1.3

Reflection is fine - I would preffer using a jdkCompat-like trick and have
substitute code for 1.3, but I'm fine with reflection.

Yes, I agree using a compat class is definitely much nicer :)
