[eclipselink-dev] RE: Fix for 307897 (JRockit+ASM issue) requires servle

[Douglas Clarke <DOUGLAS.CLARKE@xxxxxxxxxx>]

So the additional dependencies are:

 

1. servlet.jar to compile against

 

2. Must have JDK with compiler and not just  a JRE to run Java code

 

Not sure if the second dependency changes anything from an IPLog perspective.

Subject: Fix for 307897 (JRockit+ASM issue) requires servlet jar (CQ 2505)

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=307897

I have the fix for the JRockit+ASM issue (don't use ASM) where the source to _dbws.DBWSProvider is generated (as before)
then passed to the Java compiler using the javax.tools.JavaCompiler class. This fixes the problem for all combinations of JDK platforms.

There is one additional dependency which is that servlet.jar must be on the classpath when the DBWSBuilder is invoked.
We already have an approved CQ 2505 and we stated waay back in 1.1 that DBWS requires this (when DBWSBuilder was
an Ant task). Later DBWSBuilder was converted to a Java-main program and the provider class was generated using ASM
so we stopped shipping the jar.

I have spoken with Peter and he thinks we are in the clear to included it in 2.0.3 and 2.1 - any objections?
