I think this is because when you use the generator to generate the client code, the generated code contains annotations which means that in order to compile a client you need Java 5 and the code will not compile with Java 1.4. Gareth

If xFire supports the use of commons-attributes for jsr 181 style services, does this limitation still exist in the generator? Is there any real java 5 limitation? -Joshua On 4/12/07, Josh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hello, Reading through the documentation, I read the following line: "The generator Java 5.0 only at this point since it takes advantage of the JSR 181 annotations" Does this mean that you cannot use the generator if you are using java 1.4 or simply that you cannot use java 5 annotations if you are using java 1.4?
