Can I use Java 1.6 with WebSphere Application Server 6.1? IBM's website says no.

But I require Java 1.6 for a software application to be deployed and I cannot currently upgrade to Websphere 7.0, or use a different application server (WAS 6.1 is the org standard).

what are my options?

Thanks.

Nobody can stop you from trying to run WAS 6.1 with Java 6 but this configuration IS NOT SUPPORTED by IBM and according to this thread, I'm not even sure you'll be able to start WAS.
