You might be able to get it to work with lots of extra libs and some tweaks to the source. > Don't know about the 4.x Tomcat levels. Most of Tomcat 4 will run on a 1.2 JVM. Some things don't work, the CGI serv;et being one of them if I recall correctly. To get back to the original question, Tomcat 7 which will implement the servlet 3.0 spec will require a 1.6 JVM (as required by the spec). So far there are a few generics tweaks in 1.6 we are taking advantage of but no major usage of 1.6 features. That may well change as development progresses.

Tomcat 6 requires Java 1.5 or newer (seems to work happily even on the 1.7 beta). I'm also pretty certain you can't run 5.5 on a 1.3 JVM, but I haven't actually tried it.

No. I believe all versions of Tomcat can be run on all versions of Java from 1.2 onward (where Java collections were added). If you want to use Tomcat 5.x on Java 1.4 or below, you need to include the "compatibility libraries" which add, among other things, XML processing libraries. If you are starting a new project, using the current release (6.0.x) of Tomcat is definitely recommended. - -chris -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkmApTEACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PAq5gCfVT2UId9ZI7X9COV8+hkwJvnZ +UsAn0DSrvrZrz8ivqFxdrvOpPCd8zWR =HP85 -END PGP SIGNATURE- - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
Specific Tomcat version for Java6
Hi, Does there exist a Tomcat version that is specific for Java6 (i.e. a version that "exploits" features available in Java6) ?
