,I'm trying to install Apache JServ and according to the installation
instructions I need _EXACTLY_ Java SDK version 2.0. I can't seem to find
this at all on the Sun website - although there's something called Java2
v1.3. Any ideas where I can get hold of it - any help would be very useful
indeed.

cheers,

-ian.

PS: why do Sun have all these obfuscated numbering conventions
- did they all used to work for IBM or something.

'JSDK' in this context refers to the _Servlet_ Development Kit, i.e. the
package javax.servlet + other stuff in the hopelessly outdated version
2.0. The same attribute applies to jserv as well.

If jserv is not a must for you and you just want to develop servlets,
download resin 1.2 from http://www.caucho.com or tomcat 3.2 from
http://jakarta.apache.org. These are up-to-date containers compliant
with current servlet spec 2.2. More to read is at
http://java.sun.com/products/servlet.

AFAIK, Java SDK 2.0 started with JDK 1.2. Therefore Java2 v1.2 should work.
Perhaps also Java2 v1.3.

Download it from http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/archive.html
- you want the bit saying "Java Servlet Development Kit 2.0"

No - the confusion here is between JDK/JSDK as in Java (Software)
Development Kit and the JSDK of Java Servlet Development Kit.

JSDK (Java Software Development Kit) is the new name for JDK (Java
Development Kit), and just to confuse you more, the servlet development kit
is JSWDK (Java Servlet Web Development Kit).

Commericially, Java (JSDK) revisions 1.2 & 1.3 are known as Java 2, Sun
likes to confuse =)
