Portal 2.6.1 and JDK 1.4.2

[luke.mclean]

The Reference guide included with the 2.6.1 bundle includes the system requirements and mentions that both JDK4 and JDK5 are supported. I am constrained to JDK4 and when I install and run jboss-portal-2.6.1.GA.zip on my machine I get an UnsupportedClassVersionError. This would appear to proclude the use of JDK4.

As I am a new JBoss user (evaluating at this stage) I would like to be pointed to some simple instructions for operating the portal on JDK4. If someone would take the time to tell me what I am doing wrong (or confirm that the documentation is incorrect or incomplete) and the steps I need to take to get it running (on JDK4) I would be very appreciative.

Thank you,

JBoss Portal 2.6.1 supports JDK 1.4 and JDK 5.
JBoss AS 4.0.5 supports JDK1.4 (and JDK 5)
JBoss AS 4.2.1 supports JDK5 only
JBoss Portal 2.6.1 supports JBoss AS 4.0.5 and 4.2.1.

So for you the good match is:

JDK 1.4 + JBoss Portal 2.6.1 + JBoss AS 4.0.5

Thanks Thomas for your quick response,

I shall download the binary version of 2.6.1 and the AS 4.0.5GA now and follow the instructions in the reference guide found in the portal download for setting up the portal binary on the application server.
