Does Axis 1.2 require Java 5.0?

I am trying to port an application that originally used Axis 1.1 to Axis 1.2. However, the generated code doesn't compile. It looks like some of the code is assigning primatives to wrapper objects.

With Java 5.0, this is not a problem with autoboxing. Unfortunately, I am using Java 1.4.2.

Question. Does Axis 1.2 require Java 5.0? And if it doesn't, am I missing something? Like maybe a parameter to axis-wsdl2java?

This is probably something annoying simple.

Many thanks in advance.

Okay... everyone tells me to go with Axis 1.1 -- as it is very stable. I will do this.

But does anyone happen to know if there is a Java 1.5 retriction with Axis 1.2? I would still like to know.

Thanks,
Henry

No.. I clearly remembered I used Axis 1.2alpha with jdk1.4.2.
Just recently i updated my jdk to 1.5 and i dont have two machines to prove my point.

Balaji is correct. Axis 1.2 works fine with 1.4.2. It also works fine under 1.5 too.

I've been using 1.2 for a few months, well the Release Candidates anyway and it appears to work as intended.

Thanks... I guess when I have the time, I'll take a look at it again. It is probably something really minor.

Henry,
Axis 1.2 very much works with JDK 1.4. Guess your problem is with typemapping. Axis 1.1 puts typemapping as 1.1 by default and in Axis 1.2, the default is 1.2, though the doc still stays 1.1.

Try giving --typeMappingVersion 1.1 to WSDL2Java and see if it helps.

Thanks... I'll take a look at it, when I revisit the issue.
