SJSWS 7.0sp1 or 6.1sp7 for Production Use?

I'm trying to establish the most sensible choice for an upgrade (in a production environment) from Sun One (or is that iPlanet?) 6.0sp4.Should I choose the latest release (7.0sp1), or would it be better to opt for the slightly older, but presumably more mature, 6.1sp7?

I use both of this Web Servers for Production. SJSWS 7 is better for big amount of request and connection. But there are a problem with compatibility (for JAVA apps). If you host old J2EE application You could have a problem with migration.

SJSWS 7 not working with Java 1.4.* ... only Java 1.5.* and newer.

Hello Irek,I抳e an old application developed in Java 1.3 and works fine on the WS7.0u1In my opinion it抯 a good idea put WS7.0u1 in production for old applications too.

so nice :-)

I can't correctly deploy some big java application which uses java 1.4.2. I read

(http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2614/6n4t239c4?a=view) that Web Server 7.0 supports the 32朾it version of the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (Java SETM) 5.0 and Java SE 6.0.

I contact with Sun Support Center with my problems and get answer, that 1.4.2 is not supported in this version of Webserver.

Maybe Your application is good example ... I will try to run my old apps.

A web application that is compiled using the 1.4.2 version of the JDK should have no problems when run using Web Server 7+JDK 5.0/6.0. JDK5/6 is backwards compatible.

It is true that Web Server 7.0 request Java SE 5.0 or higher but that doesn't mean it can't run applications compiled with 1.4.x.

I ran Webserver 6.1 and 7.1 on this machine.

Using Webserver 6.1 all woks fine. Using 7.1 I have ...

z-pwr:10# ./startserv

Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 B12/04/2006 11:14

failure: CORE4008: Internal error: unable to locate: com/sun/webserver/util/JException

failure: CORE4011: Internal error: Unable to locate class: com/sun/webserver/init/J2EERunner

failure: CORE2253: Error running Init function load-modules: initialization of libj2eeplugin.so failed

failure: server initialization failed

and when I set in my old webserver (6.1) Java environment to 1.5 I have the same errors.

Maybe problem is in application, but ... problem is.

bye

Irek,

This phrase is so nice:Write once, run anywhere.

It抯 always a good practice keeps your JDK and your Web Server updated with the last version.

Having a WS7.0 running on JDK 1.3 it isn抰 a smart choice. Thanks God for don抰 support it!

Our application is developed in Java 1.3(language), deployed at WS7.0U1 with JDK 1.6u1 and works fine.

It抯 really a great example because it works fine since the iPlanet抯 old times. Unfortunately, I can't show you the source code, if I could, you would learn good practices with it...

Good lucky with your issues?

Hi Irek,What version of the JDK is your Web Server 7.0 instance configured to use?There is a minor typo in my previous post. The last line should read"It is true that Web Server 7.0 *requires* Java SE 5.0 or higher..."Arvind
