Deprecation of the GenericDataSource

The org.apache.struts.util.GenericDataSource class has been deprecated. This class was never designed to be a full-scale data source implementation for large, high-availability applications. It was meant for smaller applications, and never had the advanced features found in the more mature data source products.

If you need a data source implementation, it’s recommended that you use either one that is available with your container, or the one available in the Commons DBCP project at http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/jakarta-commons/dbcp/.
