I thought this would be a faster way of getting an answer.
Whose JVM does WAS 5 come with?
I think it is sun's but want to confirm.

I think you are right. I sat through a sales pitch once and the dude was saying that they went with 1.3 because 1.4 had too many bugs.

1.3.1. You can add your own VM / jdk too if you need it.

what do u exactly mean by you can add your own JDK. If I'm write you mean that either you can choose JDK provided by IBM (with WAS) or your own jdk. Is there any difference between the JDK provided by IBM and JDK provided by SUN? There shouldn't be....just want to clear the doubt.

Thanks for the replies.
Does IBM have it's on JVM implememtation for windows?
Also a friend of mine mentioned to me that IBM also has it's IDL compiler called idlj but my understanding is that WAS5 comes with Sun's JVM and uses Sun's idlj compiler and does not have it's own IDL compiler.This was the original reason for me asking this question.
Can someone please clear my doubt.

If you go to wsad menu
windows -> preferences -> installed JRE
you can give the location of the other java / jre installations. If you wanted to use say the latest sun jdk to test out something you can do that using this.
Also if you are using tomcat you can specify the jdk to use with that instance of tomcat. For example You can have one jdk to use with websphere, one with tomcat 3.X and one with tomcat 4.X.

and couldn't see anything on running jdk 1.4? Do you have a URL?
TIA

NO it ain't. Read the link very carefully. It states that WAS 5.02 now supports the "(JDK) 1.4 client container". This means you can write CLIENT programs (Applications) on JDK 1.4 that can access WebSphere JMS resources and EJB's, but NOT that WebSphere itself (the application server) will run on 1.4. It won't. Don't try it.

Yes, WebSphere has its own 1.3 JVM (which is the ONLY JVM that WebSphere will work on) on all supported platforms EXCEPT Solaris. This includes Windows, Linux, HP-UX, etc...
