We have developed an API in JDK 1.5
This API is for encrypting File using DES Algorithm.
API works fine in the client location, where they also have JDK 1.5
But it is not working with JDK 1.3
I tried placing jce.jar in classpath but it didnt work

Exception thrown:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: javax/crypto/spec/DESKeySpec (Unsupported major.minor version 48.0)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass0(Native Method)

Can anyone suggest, how to make it work?
Thanks.

Hi,

you have to compile the package for using JDK 1.3, cause JDK 1.5 is not compatible with JDK 1.3...

Kind regards

Where did you get the jce.jar file? It seems to be for use with JDK 1.4; you'll need to find a JCE version that works with Java 1.3. That will be difficult, since Java 1.3 (as well as Java 1.4) have been retired years ago. Sun has some old archived version of JCE 1.2 (which work with Java 1.3), but they're apparently available to US/Canadian users only.

The proper solution is to upgrade to (at least) Java 5.

Hi Chinna,
When the Major Minor Version Exception occured first, I compiled my package in JDK 1.3 and placed jce.jar
Means before posting my query here, I have have my package in JDK 1.3
From then am getting the same exception.

Thanks.

I persuaded my clients to upgrade to JDK 1.5, but they are reluctant to do it.

This error shows that the problem is with JCE, not with your code:

java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: javax/crypto/spec/DESKeySpec (Unsupported major.minor version 48.0)
