j2sdk-1_4_0_03 installation on Redhat Linux Advanced Server problem

[pat11]

I have jboss-3.0.4_tomcat-4.1.12 application server running on Redhat Linux Advanced Server.I was getting a JBOSS error and read somewhere that it is caused with JDK1.4.1_01 version .I was adviced to uninstall that version and install j2sdk-1_4_0_03.I just deleted the JDK1.4.1_01 the new version,removed any references to it in the PATH variable and tried installing j2sdk-1_4_0_03 the older version.
But I am getting an error
" package j2sdk-1.4.1_01-fcs (which is newer than j2sdk-1.4.0_03-fcs) is already installed".

Anybody have any idea why this is happening?Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you installed java using an rpm, you will need to uninstall the old version of java before installing the new version. I can't remember the exact option that you need to pass rpm to uninstall, but I am sure that you could find it on-line or in the man pages for rpm.
