Hi Clark,

But doesn't that still compile using the 1.6 SDK since Snow Leopard doesn't have 1.5? Or is Java 1.6 able to compile to a 1.5 compatible byte code representation?

Thanks,

Add a 'source' and 'target' attribute on your wocompile task (and any other javac-related tasks you might have), and you should be fine.

<wocompile srcdir="..." destdir="..." debug="..." source="1.5" target="1.5">
   ...
</wocompile>

Hey WO Folks,

So I had a class version mismatch exception when building from Snow Leopard (JDK 1.6) and deploying on Leopard Server (JDK 1.5). So I wanted to switch my servers to use JDK 1.6 by default. Nothing we tried would make that happen. We tried dragging the Java 6 entry in Java Preferences up to the top of the list and rebooting the Xserve, but that still didn't work. We also tried changing the CurrentJDK to point to the 1.6.0 directory. But that also didn't work. Tried changing the Current symlink to point to 1.6.0 instead of to A as is by default.

Well, when I say it didn't work, I mean it didn't help to launch our WO apps with Java 1.6. They still launched with Java 1.5, even though typing 'java -version' into the command line returned 1.6, typing in 'sudo -u appserver java -version' returned 1.5.

So the solution was to modify the build.xml file in Eclipse to have it generate a hard coded path to the JVM to point to 1.6.

Here's what I added to the build.xml file's <woapplication> task:

JVM="/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/ Home/bin/java"

So it looks like this now:

<woapplication name="${build.app.name}" JVM="/System/Library/ Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home/bin/java" destDir="${dest.dir}" customInfoPListContent="$ {customInfoPListContent}" principalClass="${principalClass}" webXML="${webXML}" webXML_CustomContent="${webXML_CustomContent}" servletAdaptor="com.webobjects.jspservlet.WOServletAdaptor">

The end result is a MacOSClassPath.txt file with the following entry at the top:

# JVM == /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/ Versions/1.6.0/Home/bin/java

That works for us, so I thought I'd share it with you.

Thanks go to Mike Schrag for the help with this! Is there anything that guy doesn't know? :-)

We deploy to several client servers that are beyond our control or stuck on JDK 1.5 - are we going to experience problems with building on SL and deploying on these boxes or are there just certain scenarios where this will be an issue?

I've seen posts about people copying the JDK 1.5 from Leopard onto SL and building with that, I'm just not sure if that is something we're going to have to investigate.
