You can get at javax.sql under 1.3 (or probably even 1.2), it's just not
there as a standard package; pre-1.4 it was part of the "EE" sql addons.
Look for a "JDBC2 optional extensions" download somewhere on
java.sun.com.
(and then you get to rewrite all your app code to use Datasources! so much
for that plan.)
