Re: [Springframework-developer] Ready for 1.0 RC1

I tried the imagedb sample application for Oracle.  It works using JDK 1.4 and
the odbcj14.jar jdbc driver for an 8i database.  It does not work at all using
JDK 1.3 and  classes12.zip/jar.  This means that we are limited to JDK 1.4 for
this type functionality with Oracle for now.

Just to clarify the Oracle drivers - there are no particular 8i or 9i jdbc
drivers.  They are just labeled based on which database version they are
distributed with.  They should be backwards compatible, and if they are not it
is a bug.  (There is even a patch for the driver that came with 8i to fix a
problem connecting to a 9i database.)  The only driver availale for JDK 1.4 is
the ojdbc14.jar that comes with 9i.  Haven't checked out the 10g drivers yet. 

I ran into a small problem with the html generated by the application.  The
browser did not pick up the end of the <textarea> for the description.  I added
a separate closing tag and comitted it to cvs.
