Does Pair Programming work if one person is advanced and the other person is just starting out with Java.

Lets assume the project being programmed is on a tight deadline.. and pair programming is going on at all the terminals. The advanced people are basically driving... the junior programmers are trying to follow along... the tough thing about this is that the junior programmers are going to need support this after the advanced programmers leave. And they will leave... Seems to be it doesn't work in this case.
Thoughts???

You need very patient seniors who understand that their role is to mentor and make sure that the "theories" they have about the system are passed on correctly to the juniors. If seniors don't have the patience, it will be next to impossible to make pairing work and could easily degenerate to seniors merely dazzling and/or befuddling the juniors.
As Ilja said, try to rotate the pairs often to provide variation and a good spread of knowledge. Try to identify the pairs that get along better and make them work together more often while keeping the disfunctional pairs apart (but give them a few rotations to try to adjust).
