---------------------------------------

Actually using jboss-retro seems to work nicely :)  I did find an issue that was a bit hard to overcome. Basically the messaging client code uses java.util.UUID to generate the message correlation id. My fix involved changing the actual messaging client code to use other library (jug in this case) to generate the correlation id. I had to jump yet another obstacle, which made me really unhappy about how much I can trust the jboss messaging project. The problem has been experienced by other developers:

see http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4230225

For the time being, I've overcome this issue by doing the fix recommended at the end of the post, but I don't feel comfortable about solving this problem like this. I think this should be something the messaging impl. code should take care of.

I was wondering ..are there any plans to support java 1.4 clients ?

> The messaging clients libraries are java 5 bytecode, which prevents the use of jboss messaging from java 1.4 code. I made an attempt to retro-translate the messaging client libraries using the retrotranslator project with limited success. Basically, things went pretty well up to the point where the java vm complained with this error:
> java.lang.ClassFormatError: org/jboss/jms/client/delegate/ClientConnectionFactoryDelegate (Invalid start_pc/length in local var table)
> I was wondering if there are any plans for jboss-messaging to support java 1.4 clients ? also, should I try using the jboss-retro project instead ?
> thanks in advance.
