Just started looking at jackrabbit and have a question regarding the JDK
version requirement: the document says JDK1.4 is mandatory. But my web
app has to run on a WebSphere server that supports only J2ee1.3 and
won't be upgraded in short period.
Could anyone tell me what part of jackrabbit requires JDK1.4 and / or is
there any workaround?
there are various areas in jackrabbit that use 1.4 features:
- parsing of QName and Path uses regular expressions
- repository impl uses NIO
- javax.security is used for authentication
- javax.xml.transform for xml processing
- some collection classes that are only available in 1.4
I don't think there is a workaround to get jackrabbit working with 1.3.
some of the missing features might be available as separate jar files
from sun, but getting the NIO feature into a 1.3 jdk seems hopeless.
