Hi Steve and thanks for your report. I think it is not possible to use c/J 5.1 with such old jre but I'll double check.

No problem. In this case, I'm forced by another application to use a dinosaur JRE. If it's no longer JRE 1.3 compatible, I'll stick with 5.0.8. I just wanted to make sure MySQL knew, so the documentation for 5.1 could be updated to no longer include 1.3 as compatible.

After consults, it appears that this should work, thus verified and waiting for Mark's ruling.

Connector/J 5.1 is not designed to work with JDK/JRE-1.3.x, as this platform reached end-of-life status the same time as 5.1 was being developed. If you must stay on JDK-1.3.x, you will need to remain using Connector/J 5.0. I've changed the status to documenting on this bug, so that the "requirements" section in the documentation can be updated.

Manual updated to specify that C/J requires JRE version 1.4.x and above. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/6.0/en/connector-j-versions-java.html
