J2SE 1.4 Support for JCR Clients?

mjanson — Tue, 20 Jun 2006 18:24:35 GMT

Is there anything in the works to make the JCR API backward compatible to J2SE 1.4 (or even 1.3)? The docs seem to suggest that 1.5 is required everywhere, and while we don't have a problem firing up a container for running the actual repository, we have a number of enterprise applications deployed

If embedding the repository and using the JCR api in-process, then yes, you need 1.5. However, if you connect via JCR-RMI (see http://forge.alfresco.com/projects/jcr-rmi/), you can use 1.4 for the client.

Thanks for the pointer! I didn't notice any instructions for getting this working with Weblogic 9, so I'll take a crack at it, and if successful, post the steps.

I've seen some mutterings here/there about performance (method round trips over RMI)–is this a concern? If so, is it expected to be addressed in 1.3 (or 1.4)?
