Necessary 3rd party jar files?

fps · **Posted:** Wed Jul 14, 2004 8:49 am

I have just downloaded the recommended distribution of Hibernate v2.1.4

I'd like to know if I may encounter pbms using a different version (higher) for some jar files.

In Hibernate 2.1.4 /lib we have:

Code:

737884 Apr 26 00:57 ant-1.5.3.jar
671546 Apr 26 00:57 ant-optional-1.5.3.jar

895813 Apr 26 00:57 xerces-2.4.0.jar
123705 Apr 26 00:57 xml-apis.jar

I'd like to use different versions for some of them:

Code:

commons-collections-3.1.jar
commons-dbcp-1.2.1.jar
commons-pool-1.2.jar
xalan.jar (2.6.0)
xerces.jar (2.6.2)

Is that ok?

Thanks for any tips.

I won't be so sure about it. We have heard about some problems with commons-collections 3.0 for example.

These are fixed now in CVS and will make it in the next release, however, you can't use commons-collections 3.0, but have to keep commons-collections 2.1.x for Hibernate. Just try it and check the changelogs for the Apache software to see if an upgrade would be possible in each case. Hibernate doesn't require xalan, xerces, commons-pool, commons-dbcp. Avoid that stuff if you can.

AFAIK, there have been some compatibility fixes in commons-collections 3.1, so you could try it.

Ok thanks I will 3.1 and see if it works. I'm planning to use DBCP as well.

use c3p0, better than DBCP
