WebFOCUS Support Statement for Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE)

This topic contains information regarding WebFOCUS release support for the different Oracle JDK versions that WebFOCUS and ReportCaster web applications are deployed on. It is also important to verify the Java version requirements of the web application server version before installing or upgrading Java software.

The following chart notes the status of WebFOCUS certification of Oracle J2SE releases. However, please note:

• Maintenance updates of Oracle J2SE within the same version level are supported.
• Using earlier versions of WebFOCUS with later JDK versions is supported. However, the solution to some problems might require an upgrade to a later WebFOCUS or JDK service pack.
• Support for later J2SE major releases requires certification and is not supported unless specified in the following chart.
• In the chart below, when reference is made to the following terms:
  • Certified - means the specified release(s) of Java have been tested within the specified WebFOCUS Release QA (Quality Assurance) certification process.
  • Supported - means the specified release(s) of Java have not been tested within the WebFOCUS Release QA (Quality Assurance) certification process but is expected to work based on the reliability of earlier minor release updates. Limited testing in specific WebFOCUS Product areas may have been performed.

Please report any problems you experience with a certified or supported version of Java to Customer Support Services for evaluation.
