Is java 1.4.2 compatible with Apache Http Server 2.2.x
 

Hello,

I would like to know if java 1.4.2 is compatible with Apache Http Server 2.2.x series i.e. 2.2.13 or 2.2.14, I tried looking at the documentation in the Apache Web site, couldn't find the info, tried searching the system requirements for 2.2.13/14 but no where its mentioned about the compatibility between Java 1.4.2 and Apache Http Server 2.2.x series, appreciate your help in this regard.

Thanks,
Suresh

Uh - what makes you think they have anything directly to do with each other?

If you mean "Java applets" - that's exclusively a client-side issue; your Apache server just sends binary .class files to the client's local browser.

If you're talking about "Java servlets", that's a function of the servlet container (for example, Tomcat). The only issue is if your version of Tomcat is compatible with both your web server (e.g. Apache 2.2) and your JDK (e.g. Java 1.4.2).

And if you've got some Apache plug-in that uses Java ... then consult that plugin's documentation.

But Apache itself doesn't use or care about which version or versions of Java you might happen to have on your system.

'Hope that helps .. PSM

Hello Paul,

Thanks for the response, yeah that was an useful info, yes your correct Servlet processing will be done by ServletExec AS, client side, the browser JVM should take care about the other dependencies, we've been using the Apache 2.0 series for sometime, its been upgraded to 2.2 series, so was evaluating the impacts on other third party software, meanwhile do you have any idea about the dependency over Servlet Exec AS, currently I am with 4.2_17, seems this version is not compatible with Apache HTTP Server 2.2.x series.

Thanks,
