AbstractBeanConfigurerAspect + jdk 1.4

[foobar]

Hi there,
I have a small aspect example that uses AbstractBeanConfigurerAspect with jdk 1.5 and runs correctly. When i try with jdk 1.4 i get the following problem.

Exceptionin thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.CannotLoadBeanCl assException: Error loading class [org.springframework.beans.factory.aspectj.Annotati onBeanConfigurerAspect] for bean with name 'org.springframework.beans.factory.aspectj.Annotat ionBeanConfigurerAspect' defined in null: problem with class file or dependent class; nested exception is java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: org/springframework/beans/factory/aspectj/AnnotationBeanConfigurerAspect (Unsupported major.minor version 49.0)


My code does not use any annotations ... should AbstractBeanConfigurerAspect work with jdk 1.4?

Take a look at AbstractBeanConfigurerAspect source code... it uses an annotation for one of its classes. Maybe there are other places where it uses annotations.

Does that mean its only possible to inject into objects outside of the control of springs container with JDK 1.5 and above ? This is all coming from section "6.8.1. Using AspectJ to dependency inject domain objects with Spring" but im not sure what is supported in 1.4.
thanks,
