It's possible, the only different jars are excalibur-database, fop, cocoon and cocoon-scratchpad.
I'm even switching JVM by replacing these files, because I work under Unix (latest JVM is 1.3.1) and Windows (latest JVM is 1.4.1 and supports hot code replacement, very useful for debugging). -------- David -----Mensaje original----- De: Upayavira [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Enviado el: viernes, 20 de junio de 2003 9:38 Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Asunto: Re: Upgrading Java AFAIK the only areas where you are likely to have problems are: 1) XML/Xalan/Xerces files that are also in Java 1.4 (see 'endorsed libs problem' on Wiki) 2) JDBC changed from 1.3 to 1.4, so I think there are changes in terms of how that is handled. But you can probably work around that by replacing the excalibur- datasource jar with the new one. You shouldn't need to recompile anything. That _should_ be it. Others may choose to correct me. I suggest you take a copy of your Cocoon installation and give it a go. (I'm regularly switching between 1.3 and 1.4 on the HEAD branch, and don't have 'too much' trouble with it).
