which version of Redis supports the earliest java version

[ramp...@gmail.com]

Hi,

Could you please tell me which version of Redis supports the earliest (or the oldest) java version as its java client?

Obviously it should be the initial version of Redis. 

However, I want to know this because we have java 1.2 and java 1.3 applications that want to use Redis. Which version of Redis should I use in this situation?

I am awaiting for the reply.

My advance thanks.

With regards,

Raman Kumar.

Redis is only a server application.
Your own application talks to it through a client library.
Therefore all that matters is whether or not your application has a
suitable client library, Redis doesn't care about your java's version.

AFAIK there is no Redis client that works below Java 1.5. RJC seems to be the only one that works with Java 1.5, the other clients (Jedis, JRedis, lettuce, Redisson, ...) require at least Java 1.6. 

What are your options?

1. Check out the various Redis clients (RJC or Jedis) and check whether you can import the code into a Java 1.2 environment. I guess you will have to change certain parts to make it work

2. Migrate to a more recent JDK. Swing/AWT-based applications are known to create some trouble because of changed behavior. 

3. Using an older Java driver usually comes with a lot of bugs that were fixed in newer versions. That's the worst option.

HTH, Mark
