Re: How strongly Tomcat 5.5.x will be committed to JDK 1.4.x in future..
The current servlet spec doesn't requires J2SE 5.0 - only the next one ( another stupid forced, unjustified transition IMO ). I would assume JDK1.4 will be supported for a while, as long as the current version of the servlet spec is in use. Tomcat3.3, which supports JDK1.1, has been maintained for quite a while after switching to JDK1.3 and then JDK1.4. I don't see how anyone who has been around for past upgrades could expect a mass migration to the new servlet spec and JDK1.5. Costin Yoav Shapira wrote: Hi, Tomcat 5.5 will always allow JDK 1.4.

Hi, Tomcat 5.5 will always allow JDK 1.4. Tomcat 6.0, as required by the J2EE 5 specifications, will require J2SE 5.0. I repeat, for emphasis, that this is required by the J2EE 5 Specification itself, which Tomcat 6.0 will support: it is not our decision to drop support for JDK 1.4.

How strongly Tomcat 5.5.x will be committed to JDK 1.4.x in future..
Hi, We'r puzzled between tomcat 5.0.x and 5.5.x. Due to our product restrictions we can't use JDK 1.5. Looked at jakarta web site, it seems that using tomcat 5.5.x seriese compated to 5.0.x is a good idea and recommended. Before committing our product to tomcat 5.5.9, I want to know how much tomcat dev team will be committed to supporting JDK 1.4.x going forward ? thanks in advance for your help, Girish - Yahoo! for Good Click here to donate to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort.
