For instance, the ResultSet.getRowId() method wasn't added until Java 6. You can compile your class with Java 6 (which will work) and then if you try to run it on Java 5, it won't work. Nothing vendor-specific... just a version mismatch. > - any well-written java web-application, written in conformance > with a given Java Servlet Specification level, which does not use > any of the above JVM "internals" nor any container-specific APIs, > should be able to run under any java servlet container which > supports the same Java Servlet Specification level.
