Until recently, JPackage has been sym-linking to j-c-dbcp.jar etc. produced by the relevant jakarta-commons-* rpm directly without changing the packages. It is only recently that these jakarta-commons-* packages have been modified to produce a -tomcat5 package that have these renamed packages which tomcat5 sym-links to. For the moment, a workaround I would go with is to add a Resource tag in your /etc/tomcat5/server.xml file nexted under the GlobalNamingResources tag with factory="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory" attribute or doing the same thing in your web-app's context.xml nested inside the the Context tag... You can refer to http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html for reference. However, I do think there are several benefits to going to 5.5.23 for tomcat5, I just havent evaluated all the changes necessary in Fedora 6/7. I will update bz# 238192 when I am ready. Vivek
