Hi,

Our company uses JDK1.4.2 based products and want to use WURFL. It seems like WURFL 1.3.1 is using JDK1.5. Do you have any versions that supports JDK 1.4.2 ?

Thanks.

Sorry, but we have decided that the time was right to discontinue Java 1.4 support. It just wasn't making any economic sense.

What keeps you bound to Java 1.4?

Hi Luca,

Thanks for that super fast reply. We are using IBM WebSphere Commerce version 6 solution for all our e-commerce sites and we are going to implement mobile for some of our sites. Unfortunately, IBM WebSphere Commerce v.6 still uses JDK 1.4.2.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks.

We have planned discontinuity from version 1.3.5, now in beta testing.
You might checkout version 1.3.1.1, with is the latest production library.

Probably there is a minor issue in JDK 1.4 support, due to our wide use of Logback for logging, from Java WURFL API version 1.3 onwards.
Logback requires Java5, but we use it by mean of slf4j, that has only JDK 1.3 requirements, so perhaps it would be quite easy to release a maintenance version of 1.3.1 with, for example, log4j instead of Logback.
If you are interested in, please contact our manager, Luca.
Thanks, Ermanno

Hi - Thanks for the reply back. I thought I read somewhere on the site that the current release 1.3 was supported with JDK 1.4. I have loaded the API source for both 1.3 & 1.3.1 into my workspace and it seems like there are some Java 5 keywords being used

(ie: assert defineCapability(name) : id + " do not define " + name;)

If you can provide a maintenance release that support JDK 1.4.2 that would be the best.

We are plan on migrating our current WebSphere Commerce version 6 to 7 - later next year - which supports Java 5. So, we should not have any issues then -

But - we would like to use WURFL right from the start for our mobile project as it seems like the best/logical option for us - however, without an API for JDK1.4.2 - we won't be able to take advantage of this.

We would highly appreciate if you can provide a maintenance release on this -

Thanks.

As you surely know, assert is a 1.4 keyword.
