Hey Purushottam and Mahadevan,
JDK 1.3 looks like it will be supported in WebSphere 4.0 - look at the specs for the OS390 version at
http://www-4.ibm.com/software/webservers/p010314.html But if you really want to, maybe you can get JDK 1.3 to work with WAS 3.5.3 anyway, check out this message from the WAS newsgroup.....

Well in fact, this is the configuration that was forced upon me when using RedHat 7.1. It seems that JDK 1.2.2 (both the version that came with the base WAS 3.5 install, and the upgraded version that comes with WAS 3.53)gets itself into a state where it takes 100% of the CPU and stops responding. In additional, attempting to start the admin console results in a segmentation fault. So, having nothing to loose, I installed JDK 1.3 (IBM version) for Linux...
I simply renamed the IBMJava2-122 directory out of the way, and created a symbolic link from IBMJava2-122 to IBMJava2-13 directory. So far everything is working well. Mind you, this if for development and
testing ONLY... I would never run such an unsupported configuration in a production environment. But to date, everything,including admin console, is working well.
