CXF with Java 1.4

[Philip May <en...@googlemail.com>]

Is it possible to use CXF with Java 1.4?
If it's not possible do I have to use XFire?

Thanks,
Philip

Another alternative would be to use Retrotranslator [1] to morph your  
application's byte code so that it can run on a 1.4 VM.  I've heard  
tell of someone running CXF in this way but not in a production  
environment.  Not everybody's cup of tea but an option nonetheless.

No.  Many of the technologies the CXF is based on require 1.5.   JAX-WS, 
JAXB, etc... all require features of 1.5 such as the generics and 
annotations.
