RE: Re: Subversion and WSAD

I think that only WAS 5.0 is run on Java 1.3.  WAS 5.1 is, or has a PTF to 
bring it to Java 1.4. 

As far as I know RAD 6 will create J2EE 1.3 and 1.4 projects.  I'm not 
sure about 1.2 but since even WAS 5.0 will run J2EE 1.3 that is probably 
not a big problem?  When you create a project you select the target server 
platform, the default is WAS 6.0.  I don't know if the target server is 
used somehow to define how the jsp's are compiled or not but if you put a 
scriptlet in the jsp that has 1.4 constructs.....

Just for interest I have Subclipse now running on WDSC 5.1.2 (Eclipse 2.1) 
and WDSC 6.0 (Eclipse 3.something).  Both connecting to a remote (Linux) 
server with svn+ssh.

The only thing I ran into is that the default compiler is Java 1.4.  This 
did not effect my JSP, but it did effect my Java code that I use in my web 

apps.  If you have any Java code that uses the StringBuffer class and you 
compile it with Java 1.4, then it will not run in Java 1.3 (which is what 
WAS 5.x uses).

I was able to fix this by defining the Java 1.3 runtime classes in my 
preferences and telling my project to use that instead of 1.4.

I imagine if I were distributing compiled versions of my JSP that it would 

have effected those.
