What is the correct version of Java EE to use [message #539021] Wed, 09 June 2010 10:38 Go to next message

I just downloaded Galileo, Java EE 5, jdk 1.6, and other software (OC4J,
MySQL, Subversion, Subclipse). I had trouble locating an ejb.jar and so I
had a bad import javax.ejb.Local. This was before I had added OC4J as a
Runtime Environment. So, I decided to install Java EE 4 and jdk 1.5. This
worked and resolved my Local.

Now that I have OC4J, which brings its own ejb.jar file, should I switch
back to Java EE 5?

Thanks

Different application servers support different versions of the Java EE spec. They are typically backwards compatible, but they are not going to be forward compatible. If the app server says its a J2EE 1.4 server, you will not be able to run apps written for Java EE 5 (or related technologies such as EJB 3.0) on it.

The best thing to do is to not try to configure Java EE libraries yourself. Set your project to target the server runtime that you intend the application to run on. If the project already exists, you can do that under Project Properties -> Targeted Runtimes.

Thanks for your responses. I am combining multiple responses.

When I installed OC4J as a Target Runtime, this is what I have done. I
created the Project after installing the Runtime.

This makes sense. I didn't realize OC4J was a J2EE 1.4 app server.

The problem I see is I was able to create a 3.0 EJB Project, so I could use
the Wizards to build Beans. It didn't restrict me to 2.1 because OC4J is a
J2EE 1.4 app server.

I have now created a EJB 2.1 project and am having to manually add my
classes.
