Does the jTds 1.3.1 driver work with both JDK 1.6 and JDK 1.7?

Question

Does the jTds 1.3.1 driver work with both JDK 1.6 and JDK 1.7? Or do I need to use jTds 1.2.7 for JDK 1.6 and jTds 1.3.1 for JDK 1.7?

Answer 1

1.3.1 does not guarantee backwards compatibility. From my experience there are certain JTDS incompatibility issues on specific versions of windows.

To use jtds with JDK 6 latest version we can use is jtds 1.2.7.
