Don't use it!!

AFAIR websphere 5.1 runs on a IBM JDK 1.3.1. String.split is only
introduced in 1.4.

So you've got the choice to upgrade your websphere to 6 or to use a
StringTokenizer to split the string instead of string.split.

If you need to stick with websphere 5 and need regex to split the
string, you could use jakarta oro to help you out.

Install FixPack 1 on WebSphere 5.1 and it will give you JDK 1.4.

And before you ask... :-) You can download it from here:
http://www-306.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/was/support/.

And you can join the WebSphere newsgroups at news.software.ibm.com.
