Dear Spring community, I'm pleased to announce that Spring 2.1 M1 has been released! This is the first milestone release in the Spring 2.1 series, introducing various new major features: explicit JDK 1.6 and Java EE 5 support, JCA-based message endpoint management, annotation-based configuration, and new "context" and "jms" XML configuration namespaces. Expect us to blog about the new features in the coming days, in particular about the new annotation-based configuration options :-) Note that as of Spring 2.1 M1, Spring is built on JDK 1.6 and requires JDK 1.4 or higher at runtime. The required J2EE level remains at 1.3. A second milestone release is planned for end of May, completing the feature set for Spring 2.1, before moving on to the first 2.1 release candidate. Cheers, Juergen ----- Juergen Hoeller Interface21 http://www.interface21.com |

What is the advantage of making Spring 2.1 require java 1.4 ? I understand frameworks migrating to Java5 due to multiple language enhancements, but AFAIK all Java 1.4 enhancements are available on Java 1.3via optional dependencies or opensource frameworks.

Nico, This is simply about maintenance and support. We have been supporting JDK 1.3 for a long time, but found it increasingly hard to still provide proper support for it: Most importantly, many third-party libraries (including Hibernate, Groovy, even Velocity Tools and JasperReports) require JDK 1.4 now, which made it hard for us to properly test Spring against JDK 1.3 - having to support old versions of those third-party libraries, etc. Also, JDK 1.3 has been officially end-of-lifed by Sun already; so have all IBM WebSphere versions that built on JDK 1.3. Official support usually starts at the JDK 1.4.2 level now (e.g. WebSphere 5.1 or higher). Now that JDK 1.6 has been generally available for half a year, we decided that it's worth explicitly supporting 1.6 features - and dropping 1.3 support in the course of it. We aim for explicitly supporting the latest three generations of the JDK: For the entire remaining Spring 2.x branch (2.1 / 2.2), this will mean JDK 1.4 - 1.6. Juergen _____ From: spr...@li...

I agrea with all those arguments and the fact SUN JDK 1.3 is not supported anymore. My customer still uses a shared websphere 5.0.2 for its apps with no migration plan, so I need Java 1.3 compatibility that gets difficult to get with many frameworks. Is the javac ant task targetted to 1.3 class format ? This could make spring 2.1 usable (but unsupported) on java 1.3 Nico. 2007/5/17, Juergen Hoeller <jue...@in...>: > > Nico, > > This is simply about maintenance and support.

Unfortunately, compiling with -target 1.3 won't help, since we're relying on JDK 1.4 API in quite a few places now (as an optimization, without JDK 1.3 fallback checks). This even affects the very core of Spring 2.1, so I see no chance to make this work on JDK 1.3 anymore. That said, I would simply recommend to stick with Spring 2.0.x on WebSphere 5.0! We'll be releasing a Spring 2.0.6 bugfix release in June, and maybe a 2.0.7 followup some time later this year, so you'll still get an 'active' product there - which will still work perfectly fine on JDK 1.3. Almost all new features in Spring 2.1 require JDK 1.5 (or at least JDK 1.4) anyway, so there shouldn't be anything that you miss in Spring 2.0.6 when running on JDK 1.3... This is one reason why we introduced so many refinements in Spring 2.0.3 / 2.0.4 already, only keeping the major stuff for Spring 2.1. Juergen _____ From: spr...@li...

Could you explain the new requirement for java 1.4 runtime ? I understant frameworks upgrading to java5 to take advantages of language enhancements, but AFAIK all java 1.4 features are available on Java 1.3using optional packages or opensource frameworks.
