Announcing the availability of JDK 7 for the webMethods 8.2.x platform on Windows, Linux and Solaris
Software AG is pleased to announce the certification of the Java JDK 7 for the webMethods 8.2 SPx platform.
Oracle has announced that it is no longer providing public updates to Java SE 6 after February 2013 (see [url=http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/eol-135779.html]http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/eol-135779.html[/url]).
The webMethods product suite 8.2 SPx now supports Java 7 for most products on Windows, Linux, and Solaris
operating systems. A document which explains how to install and reconfigure your 8.2 SPx products to use Java 7 instead of the default which is Java 6 is available here: [url=http://techcommunity.softwareag.com/ecosystem/documentation/webMethods/Configure_Products_To_Use_Java7.htm]http://techcommunity.softwareag.com/ecosystem/documentation/webmethods/Configure_Products_To_Use_Java7.htm[/url].
