Roller and XHTML

Matt Raible is on a mission to make Roller XHTML and CSS compliant. He has already gotten far enough to make his own weblog XHTML compliant and is now turning his attention to the Editor GUI. I'm enjoying this as an educational experience. Soon, I'll know enough to fix the Blogging Roller template, I don't think it even certifies as HTML.

Craig McClanahan explains why the database-pooling jars are needed on the Tomcat common/lib classpath and can't be packaged in the Roller WAR file. He also suggests a possible work-around.
