Author WAS 4.0.3 Advanced Edition to use JDK 1.4?

2007-03-18, 1:23 am

We're trying to use Microsoft JDBC driver 1.1 (sqljdbc.jar) to connect WAS 4.0 to the respository database on SQL Server 2005.

We got some error message (NoClassDefFOundError: java/util/logging/logger) and after some research, it appears that the MS JDBC driver requires at least JDK 1.4 and above, however our WAS 4.0 is still JDK 1.3.1. (because "java/util/logging/logger" is only
available from JDK 1.4)

So the question is:

1. Is JDK 1.4 compatible with WAS 4.0?
2. If yes, how do I "upgrade" JDK 1.3 to 1.4?

(Unfortunately upgrading our WAS 4.0 to a newer WAS is not an option...)

Thanks if any one can share your insights!

No.

That's very unfortunate, as WAS 4.0 has long been out of support.

You will have to rethink about your options then.

Thanks guys, so MS driver is not an option for WAS 4.0....

We will have to go back to Sequalink Server, which works but we have to pay for the license. Our websphere servers are on their way out and that's why we're not planning to upgrade them.

Thanks again everyone!!!!

Next I want to try "DataDirect Connect 2.2 JDBC Driver" but don't know wherw I can download it. It supports MS SQL 2000, but I hope it also works with SQL 2005.

Again, it's a very old driver and thanks if anyone can tell me where i can find it... Thanks!
