Description

As posted in the mailing list, I've done this work outside of an offical branch.

In this patch:

• Global upgrade to the JDK 1.5
• Added @Override annotations
• Upgraded to the Servlet 2.5 API
• Upgraded to the Faces 2.1 API
• Upgraded to the Portlet 2.0 API
• Upgraded the Maven Parent POM version
• Added generics support to Command so that Command's API looks like:

public interface Command<T extends Context> {
...
boolean execute(T context) throws Exception;
}

The only incompatibility with the existing API is in: org.apache.commons.chain.web.servlet.ServletHeaderValuesMap on line 97. Previously the API was returning Set<Entry<String, Enumeration<String>> when by all indications it actually should have been returning Set<Entry<String, String[]>>. I believe that I fixed a previously undiscovered bug here.
