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.
