PropertyUtils usage?

[Ed]

Hellu all,

Why is GWT using his own version of the
org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtils class in the gwt-dev jar ?
(probably there are more of these classes).

This can cause nasty conflicts, which I just had :(
For example: Dozer also uses this apache class but because the gwt-dev
jar was included (t's shouldn't which I changed now) and appeared
first on the classpath, Dozer used the PropertyUtils class in de gwt-
dev jar which caused out of memory errors :(...

It's part of the embedded Tomcat.  This should go away in the future as Tomcat is deprecated in 1.6.

Hi Ed,

It turns out that packaging our own version of org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtils (and other org.apache.commons classes) was needed in order to embed the Tomcat server in hosted mode. Since we're moving to Jetty in GWT 1.6, this should no longer be an issue moving forward.

Thanks for the heads up,

Hi,

Thanks for the clarification.

Looking forward to 1.6 :)

Goodluck,
