Re: cocoon 2.1 - possible to build a war deployable to both 1.3 and 1.4 jre environment?

[Joerg Heinicke <jo...@gmx.de>]

Build the war with JDK 1.3 ("build war"). There is no longer a JDK 
dependency with the database jar. So you can deploy it both in a 1.3 and 
a 1.4 environment. Java 1.4 is backward compatible, so 1.3 compiled 
stuff works in a 1.4 environment. The problem with endorsed XML 
libraries exists for 1.4, there is no work around for it. So you have to 
copy them into e.g. Tomcat's endorsed folder or start your server with 
the option -Djava.endorsed.dirs=/path/to/your/folder. There is no 
problem if you also use it with Java 1.3.
