Hi all, I'm working on contract for the Canadian government, developing web apps (and now web services) for their intranet. There is a different department that provides the hosting services. They're currently on WebSphere 5.1 and jdk 1.4. They do feel the pressure to upgrade to WS 6.1 and jdk 1.5, but they're slow as molasses to get anything done, so I fear we'll be stuck with 1.4 for perhaps a year.
However, I don't mind sticking with the current version of Axis2 for now. It works fine for me. If Axis2 1.4 abandons jdk1.4, it will give me another tool with which to prod and poke that other department. So I'll abstain - I'd personally like to see it move to 1.5 but I understand others might be in a worse situation than mine. cheers, md > -----Original Message----- > From: Glen Daniels [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, August 15, 2007 12:26 AM > To: Axis-Dev; [email protected] > Subject: [axis2] [IMPORTANT] JDK 1.4 compatibility - feedback > requested > Importance: High > > > Hi Axis2 developers and users! > > There has been a bunch of discussion lately revolving around the > question of JDK1.4 compatibility.
