For those of you not on our webobjects-announce list, a message was posted this morning. Normally I wouldn't forward these, but we haven't used webobjects-announce in a while and maybe some of you unsubscribed. :-)
------ Forwarded Message From: WebObjects <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2006 09:46:52 -0700 To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: WebObjects 5.3 and J2SE 5.0 Although J2SE 5.0 Release 4 is an excellent Java update for most applications, WebObjects has not been certified on this release of Java and initial testing has revealed the following issues: A BigDecimal number compatibility issue exists due to a change in the JDK's toString() returning scientific notation when exponents are needed. This affects EO fetching. A workaround for this issue is to not lock on BigDecimal EOAttributes. Another is to modify the scale and precision on EOAttributes in your application. As explained in Release Note at <http://developer.apple.com/referencelibrary/java> for J2SE 5.0 Release 4, the OpenBase JDBC driver included with WebObjects is not compatible with J2SE 5. You will need to get the latest driver from OpenBase at <http://www.openbase.com/> if you wish to try this combination. We welcome feedback on WebObjects running under J2SE 5.0 and encourage you to file bugs using <http://bugreport.apple.com/>. Please understand that WebObjects 5.3.x running under J2SE 5.0 is not a supported configuration and the above list of issues is not exhaustive. If you have already installed J2SE 5.0 Release 4 on your Mac OS X (Server) system and would like to use the supported 1.4.2 JVM with your WebObjects applications, please see document 75505 "WebObjects 5.3: Using Java 1.4 With Mac OS X After J2SE 5.0 Release 4 Is Installed" <http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n75505>.
