| Apache Commons DBCP |
| =========================== |
| |
| Welcome to the DBCP component of the Apache Commons |
| project (http://commons.apache.org). |
| |
| DBCP now comes in two different versions, one to support JDBC 3 |
| and one to support JDBC 4. Here is how it works: |
| |
| DBCP 1.4 compiles and runs under JDK 1.6 only (JDBC 4) |
| DBCP 1.3 compiles and runs under JDK 1.4-1.5 only (JDBC 3) |
| |
| DBCP 1.4 binaries should be used by applications running under JDK 1.6 |
| DBCP 1.3 should be used when running under JDK 1.4 or 1.5. |
| |
| There is no difference in the codebase supporting these two |
| versions, other than that the code implementing methods added |
| to support JDBC 4 has been filtered out of the DBCP 1.3 sources. |
| |
| Both versions can be built using either Ant or Maven (version 2). |
| To build DBCP using Maven, type "mvn package" at a command line prompt |
| from the top-level directory of the source distribution (the directory |
| that contains the file named pom.xml). |
| |
| DBCP can also be built using Ant from the build.xml file. |
| Locations of dependent jars for the Ant build need to be specified in |
| build.properties. There is a build.properties.sample file included in the |
| source distribution. |
| |
| See http://commons.apache.org/dbcp/ for additional and |
| up-to-date information on Commons DBCP. |
