Need old java version to create a replica of running environment

Hi Folks,

I need to create a replica of a working application system so I can troubleshoot some problems. The running systems has Java build 1.3.1_11-b02 installed. But the replica system has build 1.3.1_15-b01 so I need to downgrade java to match the original app system.

But, I have come across two challenges:

(1) I cannot find a download of the older build 1.3.1_11-b02 anywhere.

(2) Need to know exactly which Solaris packages to remove and reintsall with the older packages to ensure a clean java environment.

The java version on the running app server is:(this is the version I need).

$ java -version

java version "1.3.1_11"

Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1_11-b02)

Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1_11-b02, mixed mode)

The replica test env has:

$ java -version

java version "1.3.1_15"

Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1_15-b01)

Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1_15-b01, mixed mode)

Thanks.

I can also (sometimes) find what I may need at the following web sites:

http://www.oldversion.com/

http://www.oldapps.com/

http://www.321download.com/LastFreeware/index.html

http://www.unmaintained-free-software.org/wiki/Main_Page

... although precise sub-versions of software may not be there,

and each site may have different items.

They may have much more than just Java related files.

Take a peek and if it's your first visit, add the link(s) to your bookmarks.

There's a company called Trigence (www.trigence.com) that let's you capture an application and its relevant environmental dependencies (including java libraries, in your case). Then you can copy/move the "capsule" to another system (even one that has a newer version of Solaris). It makes it easy to try out different options for debugging/testing and emulate scenarios on other machines. You may want to check it out.
