Thanks for the update on IBM's plans. Are you certain that WAS 6 is delivered with JDK1.5, that wasn't my expectation and a quick google showed up some people using WAS 6 and JDK1.4. Looking at http://www-306.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/was/features/ it seems it supports J2EE 1.4 (which Sun says needs JDK 1.5) but only JDK 1.4, so presumably they're using some additional back-ported JDK1.5 libraries but only the JDK1.4 JVM.
Anyway, I know websphere support isn't most probably a pivotal issue for the AD development community, but I just trying to point out that mandating JDK1.5 at this point may cut you off from some otherwise keen customers - like me ;-)
