1. Re: AS& with Java 6 or Java 7
nickarls Sep 4, 2012 1:38 PM (in response to jfalek)Java 7 (unless there is a very specific reason not to). Java 6 should have been EOL:d already but it got extended but the End Is Near anyway

2. Re: AS& with Java 6 or Java 7
jfalek Sep 5, 2012 6:14 AM (in response to nickarls)Thank you. I did not realize that Java 6 was EOL!
One follow-up question: the number of options for JDK (SDK/SE) has increased since the last time I looked. The original web services that we are porting were built using AS5 and JDK5. Do you recommnend AS7 with
- Java 7 SE
- Java EE 6 SDK with JDK 7 or
- Java EE 6 Profile SDK with Java 7

ctomc Sep 5, 2012 7:33 AM (in response to jfalek)1 of 1 people found this helpfulHi,
best jvm for running AS7 at the moment is still Oracle JDK6, but as Nicklas said it will be EOL soon. Current EOL time is february 2013 http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html
JDK7 is supported with AS7 but still depends on platform are your running it might not be recommended, for instance currently jdk7 for macosx has few terrible bugs in nio impl that prevents most of communication(remoting) in as7 but can be somewhat workaround.
as for what jdk to download, use Java 7/6 SE JDK, other oracle options (EE*) are just extra download with some ee components / tools that are needed to run app server.

jfalek Sep 5, 2012 8:20 AM (in response to ctomc)Thank you - since we'll be on a large Linux server, we'll stick to Java 7 SE.
