We are running portlets in WebSphere, using Java 1.4. We want to send messages to a JBoss queue, running Java 1.5. Trying to connect using JNDI is not working, since the JBoss jars are 1.5 and I get an unsupported major/minor error when I try to create the InitialContext.

Can we connect straight to JBoss without using JNDI?
