That's fair and if I were able to use a *modern* servlet container instead of Websphere 5 (pejorative intended), I'd be right beside folks asking for Spring 1.2 support, but alas Websphere 5 is my company's prefered product. > I will get started on an 0.8.1.1 release to accommodate the 0.8.1 users.

I really appreciate the consideration, because if history is any indication, it'll be at least 6 months after Websphere 6 is released before most existing 5.x users will be able to utilize Spring 1.2 & Acegi 0.8.2+. Websphere has a solid footing in the banking and insurance industries (it's the IBM roots that do it), and that's where a heck of a lot of sophisticated J2EE is. Yes, I know this is IBM's fault for being so behind, but it is what it is. When hundreds of millions of dollars are invested in infrastructure, upgrades come more conservatively anyway. In short, I'd be just a tiny voice asking for Spring 1.2+ to maintain JDK 1.3 compatability, but is it too late to decouple Acegi from Spring 1.2+?
