Build Identifier: 3.0.2.RELEASE

Hi guys,

Following to thread http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/m/723896/ and FAQ http://wiki.eclipse.org/Virgo/FAQ#How_can_I_change_the_version_of_Spring_framework_in_the_user_region.3F I tried to upgrade the Spring Framework in Virgos user space to version 3.1 and noticed the same problems as reported in Bug 357273. After modifying the version range of the spring dependencies in the manifest of following bundles Virgo works like a charm:
- org.eclipse.virgo.kernel.agent.dm-3.0.2.RELEASE
- org.eclipse.virgo.kernel.deployer.dm-3.0.2.RELEASE
- org.eclipse.virgo.kernel.dmfragment-3.0.2.RELEASE

I only patched the bundles in the ext repository and didn't touch any kernel space bundles or configurations.

Note: We use such a patched Virgo Tomcat instance in a production environment and we didn't encounter any problems.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Update the Spring Framework without patching any Virgo bundles.

Thanks for bringing this up but this is already fixed for Virgo 3.5.0 in bug 357273. Our policy is not to backport enhancements (or for that matter non-critical bugs) to service releases. (That kind of support is only available commercially - see http://www.eclipse.org/virgo/support/.)

I have tweaked the FAQ to make the situation clear. Previously the FAQ said "Virgo 3.0.x can use 3.0.x versions of Spring framework." so I added "To use Spring framework 3.1.x requires Virgo 3.5.0 or later."
