JRE 1.3.1 & DST?

Finally, the only solution for older version of JRE 1.3.1, is to upgrade to 1.3.1_19 ? No tzupdater available for this version?

I'm asking that, since an upgrade is requiring a UAT (User Accepting Tests) for all concerned application (some major), instead of nothing required for a tzupdater updated version.

Thanks.

I don't think so.

Well if you are going to do UAT's then you might as well move up to Java 6.

And what about a workstation that have more than one version of Java installed, where one is 1.3.1_01, and it is not is java.exe in c:\windows\system32? HOW we should proceed to upgrade the 1.3.1 WITHOUT AFFECTING all others installation (and making sur the application using this version will uses the updated version)?

For the moment, I assume that we should install it over the old version?

Java is backwards compatible. So a newer version of the JRE will still run the code compiled in 1.3.1. (There is chance that there could be an issue if the program was written on a bug that was fixed in a newer version, etc.)

A 1.3.1 version of the tzupdater tool has been made available.You will need a sun support contract to access it.See http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Intl/USDST/

Hi Claude, I am currently running JRE and SDK v1.3.1and have looked high and low for SR 18 or 19....can you tell me where I might find either file and if I can upgrade directly to SR 19 from v1.3.1 or is an interim upgrade necessary?
