Hi Csaba, For now, we still do support 1.3 and 1.4. We haven't as a team made the decision to leave them behind, so they are still supposed to be supported.
So, if you find something that needs to be fixed to ensure it works with RetroWeaver and 1.4, please open a Jira issue so it is identified. If we can fix it, we will :) Cheers, Les On Fri, Jan 30, 2009 at 10:42 AM, Csaba Nemeth <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi, > > well alright, it is too bad as jsecurity looks very good so far. > > Unfortunately some companies are still using older servers and they still > need changes, enhancements to existing applications. > > Seems like I have to look into other options. > Any suggestions for 1.4? > > Thanks, > Csaba > > > --- On Fri, 1/30/09, Les Hazlewood <[email protected]> wrote: > > > From: Les Hazlewood <[email protected]> > > Subject: Re: jsecurity under jdk14 > > To: [email protected], [email protected] > > Received: Friday, January 30, 2009, 10:10 AM > > Hi Csaba, > > > > We haven't discussed really about 1.3 and 1.4 > > capability.
