Apache Commons

Introduction

The Apache Commons project differs from many other Apache hosted projects because it is comprised of multiple, independently released packages. This page provides an overview of the Commons components that are currently available.

Released Components

Elsewhere at Apache

The following components were part of Apache Commons but have moved elsewhere:

• Cactus: Cactus is a simple test framework for unit testing server-side java code (Servlets, EJBs, Tag Libs, Filters, ...). The intent of Cactus is to lower the cost of writing tests for server-side code.
• HiveMind: HiveMind is a services and configuration microkernel. HiveMind allows you to create your application using a service oriented architecture.
• HttpClient 3.x: Framework for working with the client-side of the HTTP protocol.
• Naming: The Naming subproject will contain common JNDI code along with various JNDI providers.
