java 1.7.0_25 continued

If You need 5.2.x tested I can do it.

EDIT : I can also reproduce it in 7.1 so I can test that one too !

the jar’s for 6.0.x fails here… still the same issue, it2be calendar & dbtree missing, when the console is not shown… :(

Johan has been working hard, last night. And we have fix now for Servoy 6.0.9

In both cases the calendarbean and the dbtreeview loads fine now with the latest Java 7 update 25, without openening the console

Thanks JOHAN!! :D :D

Indeed : Thanks Johan, great job !!

Is this something Oracle changed without announcement ?

B.t.w. When can we expect updates for 5.2.x and 7.1.x ??

Regards,

Is there a public Servoy case where we can follow the developments on this issue ?

Hans Nieuwenhuis:

no this is a plain bug in javawebstart that oracle did introduce.
They set something wrong. (so i don’t think they announced this ;) )

Hans Nieuwenhuis:

i updated 6.0 and up.

and 6.1 and 7.2 will be released in about 2 weeks.

Ok, thanks Johan

But what about 5.2.x ??

JIRA Case: https://support.servoy.com/browse/SVY-4749
Java 7 is not supported in 5.2.x (case contains wiki link).

Hi,

I did not realize that Servoy 5.2.x does not support Java 7, Servoy says it is in the Wiki.
We are planning to upgrade from servoy 5 to 7 in Q4 this year

But we have technical engineers who need the latest Java (7) version.
I could also have them install java 6, but they will have to start by using

C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\javaws.exe http://appserver:8080/servoy-client/servoy_client/solution.jnlp

Because if the start using a browser, the latest java will be used.

Am I right with this ?

Hans Nieuwenhuis:

http://wiki.servoy.com/display/Serv52/Smart+Client does intentionally not list Java 7

I see,

But now I have a problem.

Can I run java 6 and java 7 on the same windows pc/laptop and have servoy use java 6 ?

Regards,

yes, set max java version property to java 6 on admin page.

Thanks Jan,

But where can I find this setting , I do not see it on the admin page.
I see it in the servoy 7 admin page, but not on the servoy5 admin page.

My problem is with servoy 5 and java 6 and java 7

Regards,

hmm, seems only available in Servoy 6 onwards

So what is the best solution now when using a servoy 5 server
and clients having java6 and java7 installed ?

Regards,

No suggestions at this point in time, other then upgrade to Servoy 6

No suggestions at this point in time, other then upgrade to Servoy 6

My opinion : Bad follow up of Servoy on java updates for Servoy versions that are still supported…
In this light the knowledge of Servoy 5 not being supported on Java 7 is a great shock ! Isn’t Java upward compatible ?

That is not a something I can do in a few weeks time.
Wel will upgrade to servoy 7 q4 this year.

But until then we need to run from the servoy5 server

This will not make our servoy users ( and management ) happy

Regards,

Hans

oracle already seems to have fixed the classloader problem (for which i made a patch)

http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=8017776

so if they hopefully escalate it a bit so that the next release will have this fix, it should work fine again even without my patch
