Hi,

according to this Brochure, Hibernate 3 needs Jdk1.4. Is that true? I use jdk1.3.1 and it works well. Have I miss something? Should I use Hibernate 2 as mention. I only have the IBMjdk1.3.1 (WAS4.0) under Websphere.

http://www.jboss.com/pdf/HibernateBrochure-Jun2005.pdf

Platform and Standards Support
Minimum System Requirements
• Hibernate 2 requires JDK 1.3 or higher (1.4.2 and
1.5.0 are recommended)
• Hibernate 3 requires JDK 1.4 or higher (1.4.2 and
1.5.0 are recommended)
• 128 MB RAM
• 50 MB hard disk space
• 400 MHz CPU

Thanks

Etienne.

Hibernate3 works on 1.3.1
If (and only if) you encounter some issues (NoSuchMethodException), then you just have to recompile Hibernate3 using the JDK 1.3.1.

The brochure is wrong. Don't trust an IT brochure having a bear in picture ;-)
