[jcifs] RE: Major minor version error in JCIFS1.2.8

[David Sprowls]

I wish I could say that I fully understand this issue and give you an
explicit resolution; but, that is unfortunately not the case.

As far as settings, see if you can find where to specify the compiler
compliance level in web sphere.  Probably somewhere in the preferences
for the java compiler.

Mine are set to 1.4 when using jre1.5.0_06, and I was able to get it to
work using jre1.4.2_09 set to 1.3 as the compliance level.

I don't suppose you have maintained an ant or maven build script in
addition to building within web sphere have you?  If so, try reducing
the possible issues by building that way.

I am sure re-compiling jcifs using 1.4 will work; however, I don't
believe it is necessary to resolve the problem.

Try using the Logon.java in the example directory with jcifs 1.2.8 and
compile that using your current compiler.  See if it works with 1.2.8,
if not then you at least have a much simpler test case to troubleshoot. 
If it does, then your application should also.

It is my understanding that you can always use a newer compiler and
instruct it to produce byte code that is compatible with older jvms.

Sorry I am not able to provide an exact solution.
