SQL server 2012 jdbc driver for jdk 1.4

Question

I need SQL server jdbc driver jar file which is compatible with jdk1.4 and sql server 2012.

I am using sqljdbc3 which is not compatible with jdk1.4 and jboss 4.

Any help will be appreciate.

Answer 1

I believe sql server does NOT provide support for jdk/jre 1.4. Here is the content from the msdn website:

sqljdbc.jar class library requires a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) of version 5.0. Using sqljdbc.jar on JRE 6.0 or JRE 7.0 will throw an exception when connecting to a database.

Note *The JDBC Driver does not support JRE 1.4*. You must upgrade JRE 1.4 to JRE 5.0, JRE 6.0, or JRE 7.0 when using the JDBC Driver. In some cases, you might need to recompile your application because it might not be compatible with JDK 5.0 API or JDK 6.0 API. For more information, see the documentation on Sun Microsystems Web site. Microsoft JDBC Driver 4.0 for SQL Server does not support JDK 7.
