RE: Compatibility Inquiry for Commons Validator with Java 17

Dear Apache Commons Team,

Thank you, Gray,  for the response.

I am currently working on Infor project that involves upgrading from java 8 to Java 17, and I am using the commons-validator library. According to the maven.yml (https://github.com/apache/commons-validator/commit/c87eba774db50ae15ed67c8e9617bea8c6feb2a5), it is stated that commons-validator has been tested with Java 17. However, I have a concern regarding its dependency on commons-logging, which in turn depends on javax.servlet-api (which is not compatible with java 17).

Could you please confirm if commons-validator and its dependencies, particularly commons-logging are fully compatible with Java 17?

Any insights or guidance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Thanks,
Anitha

Hello Sasirekha,

There is not but you can use the current release with Java 17. There are a handful of tasks that remain better 2.0. If you look at the GitHub CI, you'll see that we test with LTS versions.

Hello Team,



This is Sasirekha from the Expense management team part of Infor. I am currently working on upgrading our project from JDK-8 to JDK-17, and we are using common Beanutils as a dependency. We are using commons beanutils-1.6.1 and when researching about the version compatible with the JDK-17. In the GitHub (https://github.com/apache/commons-beanutils?tab=readme-ov-file) it is mentioned for release 2.0.0 (commons-beanutils2). But it’s not released yet, is there a timeline for when it will be released?



Thanks

Sasirekha
