David,
On a *nix machine there is a program patch which when executed with this
diff ie patch < diff then it will apply the patches. The problem is this
patch is old, and will not likely apply with out some manual
intervention.
Regards,
Dave

Can someone tell me HOW to apply these patches? I just pulled the
source from cvs, and I need to compile the driver under 1.4. I need the
PostgresqlDataSource and other XA stuff in my jar file.

You can apply the small patch that I posted for review a while ago (see
attachement). This simply adds the missing methods that enable the
driver to be compiled with JDK 1.4.
The problem with that is that the patched code will _not_ compile with
JDK 1.3 and older. I'm working on a better solution which allows us to
maintain one tree with little or no code duplication for all versions of
JDK/JDBC, but this requires reshuffling code into a new class structure
and it will take some time to complete.

Sorry, not from me :-)
