Specify a specific JRE per an application ?

Is there a way to specify a specific JRE per an application deployed in JBoss? Our JBoss server is running on JRE 1.4. All of the current deployed applications are running on JRE 1.4. I want to deploy a brand new application that runs on JRE 1.6. Is there a way that the legacy applications can run JRE 1.4 and the new application can run 1.6 on the same JBoss server?

Thanks

The JRE is per server. So you cannot have 2 different JREs for different applications deployed on the same server.

However, you could let JBoss run under JRE 1.6. Even the earlier applications (which were running on JRE 1.4)can use this JRE since its backward compatible.

Hello Jaikiran,

Thanks for reply. My new application runs much faster on JRE 1.6 than 1.4. I am still nervous about running my legacy apps on 1.6, but I will start testing to make sure.

Thanks for your help!
