Up until now, I've been lucky enough to work in mostly heterogeneous environments and not had reason to have more than one version of the server platform deployed on my workstation. However, now I'm in a position that will require development on both platforms.
I googled, searched archives, and read some blogs, but couldn't find a real clear answer on if these will play well together. My concern is, as I understand it, each version prefers a different versions of the JVM. While I can see how to configure the servers, isapi binds to different ports, etc, binding different services to different JVM versions is certainly far afield of my previous configuration experiences. I realize many may just do 6.1 development on a 7.0.2 install, but really I would be much more comfortable developing each project in their target roll-out platform. I would prefer to avoid potential test push embarrassments from anything that might bite me in a version specific scenario. I know things should be mostly compatible, but I've run into previous issues, particularly with custom tag applets, when developing and deploying in environments that don't match up. My predicament is further complicated as I'm no longer provisioned admin rights on my workstation, so I need a white paper or some other supportive documentation stating this will work, and what configuration instructions would be needed to get this running. Although I suspect this issue will only further build my case for why I need to occasionally escalate my privileges. The only thing I *know* will work would be running vmware and segmenting for this. Certainly not an optimal path if I need to switch between platforms quickly or often. So, how are others approaching and solving this problem? And if possible, can you direct me to any documentation of your solution?
