there are various areas in jackrabbit that use 1.4 features:
- parsing of QName and Path uses regular expressions
- repository impl uses NIO
- javax.security is used for authentication
- javax.xml.transform for xml processing
- some collection classes that are only available in 1.4

I don't think there is a workaround to get jackrabbit working with 1.3. 
some of the missing features might be available as separate jar files 
from sun, but getting the NIO feature into a 1.3 jdk seems hopeless.

Thank you Marcel.

In this case, I have another question: looking at the deployment "how-to" 
pages (model 2), I need to register a Server Resource in 
"GlobalNamingResources" and then bind it to a JNDI name.

How can I do this in Geronimo? There doesn't seem to be a counterpart of 
"GlobalNamingResources" in Geronimo.

Thanks,
D.Z.
