Thanks to all for your valuable insights. Man, I think I wish the new
version would come out, or at least that I could install and use a
beta, so I could move this machine to Leopard. Again, as always,
thank you for the discussion.

Long story short,
Witango dev studio relied on some particular Registry entry that
was only added as part of an older Java install, but the newer ones
didn't put in the same registry values. So, I had to manually make
some registry modifications so those guys could use the Witango
studio on their new machines...
I can't remember the details, but could probably dig them up if
someone needed them. Just ask me off list.

I think I have the latest version of 1.4 on XP with the studio and
it works fine, but anything higher, and all sorts of issues.

Same on XP, I have found java stuff doesn't work right, unless you
use v 1.4 of java. So on your XP machine, you can't upgrade java.
I've a small datum to support this. I fiddled with Dev Studio on XP
+SP2 in Fusion with Java 1.5.0, and kept getting an "Init Jave
error" [sic]. I retreated to a backup Fusion image on which Java
had not yet been installed, added Java 1.4.1_07 and Dev Studio, and
it worked a treat. (I thought about trying 1.4.2_17 - the last 1.4
release - but finally decided on the last 1.4.1 release, since
that's what the install docs say you need, I figured that was
probably what they were using when witango released Dev Studio 5.5,
and I wanted to find something that worked...)
BTW, here's the URL you want for digging out old java stuff...
http://java.sun.com/products/archive/
The latest release of App Server seems to work fine with 10.4.11 on
intel hardware, though mind you I've only done testing so far, not
turned students loose on it in our Mac Labs... I haven't tried this
stuff out in Leopard yet.
If you have trouble getting JDBC going, or don't want to be stuck
with maintaining an old XP+SP2 machine or virtual image, ODBC seems
robust in XP, and I found it easy to open TAFs with a text editor
and change the <DSTYPE>JDBC</DSTYPE> to <DSTYPE>ODBC</DSTYPE>,
create an appropriate jdbc.ini, and point the App Server to the
database via JDBC on my Mac. Though once again I've only done this
a few times.
