JRE & JDK v1.5.0_12 Upgrade

Hi, I am part of a big organisation, we need to upgrade our servers and workstations with JRE and JDK v1.5.0_12. It is very difficult to schedule a time to upgrade the servers. I would like to know if we MUST upgrade servers and workstations at the same time or it doesn't matter if the workstation runs v1.5.0_12 and the server (Database and application server) runs JDK v1.5.0_4 and be updated at a later time.
Thanks

#1. In almost all cases, you don't need the JDK. You only need the JDK if developers are going to be writing java code on that machine. If all you need is to be able to run java, install the JRE instead
#2. It's impossible for us to know what your work setup is like. It might be possible for you to upgrade some of your systems and not all of them.
In general, when doing a java update, you should create a test environment that is a microcosm of your entire setup - one machine for each type of machine (ie desktop, server) that you will be changing. Install the new java and then test all of your apps and make sure that they work

  • Error msql command ... "Unable to create JVM. You need jre/jdk 1.3.1 or hig

    Hi All,
    I have successfully installed soa 10.1.3.1. I am using VMware with windows xp as os.
    The problem is occuring when i was trying to apply 1*0.1.3.4 patch* to my 10.1.3.1 installation.
    In the pre-installation instructions we need to upgrade the schema or rum some sql scripts. To do that when I tried to connect using
    msql system/manager@<connection string> i got the following error
    *"Unable to create JVM. You need jre/jdk 1.3.1 or higher"*
    I checked my path and java version also, it looks ok i mean i have 1.5.x java version.
    I am not sure what could be the issue.
    Did anyone of you encounter same or similar issue?
    Any help is highly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I doubt the dehydration store is installed on mSQL.
    Have you installed basic or advanced. I'm assuming basic, by default this runs on olite.
    To upgrade you need to upgrade the bpel and esb schemas
    The login executables are in the following location
    SOA_HOME\bpel\bin\polsql.cmd (bpel)
    SOA_HOME\integration\esb\olite\bin\sql_olite.bat (ESB)

  • JAR files just won´t run, multiple systems, JRE & JDK installed.

    Hi!
    I´ve been looking on many different places for an answer for this issue:
    I have to run different JAR files for applications, one is from Apache ActiveMQ, and the other is a hash calculating app. I´ve read on many topics that if you get error "Failed to load Main-Class" when running a JAR, the problem is how the JAR was packed (MANIFEST). Well, I find highly unlikely that two different JARs, from different sources, are wrongly packed. Also, I´ve installed JRE, JDK and even Java EE, on MS Server 2003 and on Windows 7 (on this last one only JRE), and no JAR runs. I´ve tried declaring PATH and JAVA_HOME environment variables... no use. Can anyone help me solve my problem?

    Hi,
    You might want to look in your control panel for 'Java' icon. It should give you an option to enable java plugin into your browser. Let me know if you still face the issue.
    Thanks!

  • SOA Suite 11.1.1.6.0  Error - Please specify a valid JRE JDK location

    I am very new to Oracle installations and I cannot get past the " Please specify a valid JRE/JDK location :" message when installing the SOA Suite.
    I verified that all my prerequisites are in place.
    No matter what path I enter, it ignores it and repeats the message. I made sure to install JRE in a directory path with no spaces. I have tried installing jre-7u9-windows-i586 and also jre-7u9-windows-x64. I also tried pointing the location to the jdk160_29/jre/bin directory created by the SOA installation (again, no spaces in my path). Nothing seems to work.

  • JRE, JDK, SDK, IDE, J2????

    What is the disctinction between all these acronyms and when would they come in handy?
    JRE
    JDK
    SDK
    IDE
    Java2 versus JDK1.4 (what's the difference)

    JRE = Java Runtime Environment. Let's you run java apps/applets by interpreting the compiled java code supplied to you.
    JDK/SDK = Java Development Kit/Software Development Kit = One in the same...has both the JRE and tools (compiler, etc) to actually compile your own java code.
    IDE = Integrated Development Environment - Usually consists of an editor, project manager, graphical development tools to speed up development of code. This is not necessarily java - there are IDE's for C/C++, etc....
    Java2 - Post java 1.1 version of java ... components usually start with a J...like JPanel, JButton, JList. A layer built over the original AWT (abstract window toolkit) that was java 1.1. Java 2 is not supported by most browsers by default without the plugin (the JRE)...Netscape 6 has it tho it's buggy.
    JDK 1.4 is the latest version of Java2.

  • solved jre, jdk, run java?

    Hello,
    x86_64
    I've been using openjdk6 for my intro programming class. Decided to install jre, jdk instead, along with BlueJ from AUR.
    How can I use java from the CL, there is no java/javac command anymore, I see the commands are installed in /opt/java/bin (or something like that, dont remember of the top of my head.) but it seems odd to have to call that everytime I want to use java.
    Is there something I am missing here??

  • Difference between, jre, jdk, sdk and j2se

    Dear Sir/Madam,
    I want to do some java and j2ee development and run these applications in a java application server environment. Can anyone give me some advices on what should i need to download? Moreover, what is the difference between, jre, jdk, sdk and j2se? Should i need to download all of jre, jdk, sdk and j2se?
    thanks and regards,
    david

    JRE is the 'java runtime environment'. It is responsible for creating a Java Virtual Machine to execute Java class files (e.g., run Java programs)
    JDK is the 'java development kit'. It is the same as the 'SDK' (at least in my mind). It normally comes bundled with a JRE and also allows you to compile Java source files into Java class files. The JDK allows you to both write and run programs.
    J2SE is "Java 2 Standard Edition". It can refer to either a JDK or JRE. This is 'core' Java. There is also J2EE "Java 2 Enterprise Edition" which allows you to write middleware or server code more easily.
    Your final choice will be which version. If you want the current, most common implementation:
    J2SE 1.4.2, J2EE 1.3
    If you want to skip ahead to the next generation, the latest releases would be:
    J2SE 1.5 (also called J2SE 5.0) and J2EE 1.4

    Did you get a solution to your memory usage problems.
    We developed an applet which uses JAI 1.1.. yes of course with JRE1.3.1 plugin. The applet functions as a viewer for TIFF images and also allows users to manipulate them. We have ensured that there are no static variables and scope defined for variables is the minimum required. But we are still facing an undefined memory issue.
    When print is executed on the image (using Java2D), a few times ... it just hogs memory. Or I change the image loaded 2 -3 times and refresh the applet, it seems to run out of memory, and finally hangs.
    We have tried to do a System.gc.. to no avail.
    Would appreciate help on this.

  • Classid or clsid for JRE/JDK

    Hi everybody
    I need to get classid or clsid for JRE/JDK 1.6.0_23
    Does JRE & JDK have same classid?
    I know that classid for 1.4.2_06 is CAFEEFAC-0014-0002-0006-ABCDEFFEDCBA
    Can someone help me?
    Thanks in advance
    Oscar

    Your question is not exactly clear. " +Does JRE & JDK have same classid?+ " The JRE or Java Runtime Environment has a related CLSID recorded in the Windows Registry so that requests from other applications can call out to the JRE and generally start a jave app. The JDK or Java Development Kit is a set of development tools used to create java applications. You can't "run" the kit. The JDK does include an optional JRE, but you must ensure that you select the option to install it during the installation prompts. This JRE would essentially be the same as if you just installed a stand-alone JRE
    How to derive the CLSID number is explained here:
    http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/plugin/developer_guide/using_tags.html#object
    Example:
    JRE 1.6.0_23 would be: CAFEEFAC-<font color="red"><b>0016</b></font>-<font color="red"><b>0000</b></font>-<font color="red"><b>0023</b></font>-ABCDEFFEDCBA

  • JRE/JDK Configuration

    Good Afternoon,
    Does anyone have an example of how they were able to setup their iPlanet 6.0 (Win2k) server to use an external JRE/JDK versus the internal JRE? I have been working with our software vendor along with several users (also looking at the responses on this forum and many other places), and the consensus seems to be �re-install�. One user suggested installing the new SDK into the area where the old JRE lived. I would like to basically know if it is possible to re-point iPlanet 6.0 to a new external (to the iPlanet server) JRE/SDK? And if it is possible, would you mind sharing it with me?
    Rob Smith

    Thanks to anyone who considered answering this post. A few moments ago I was able to point iPlanet to SDK 1.4.2_07.

  • Error "need to place tarball in the right location" jre & jdk upgrade

    Using pacaur to upgrade seom AUR packages - namely jre and jdk Iget this set of errors, ad infinitum:
    Due to a change in how Oracle handles the Java SE License Agreement
    you are required to:
    1) accept the license and download the tarball (jre-7u4-linux-x64.tar.gz) yourself:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre-7u4-download-1591157.html
    2) move it to $startdir (/tmp/pacaurtmp-larry/jre/)
    -> If saved in ~/Desktop/, ~/Downloads/ or /tmp/, it will be auto-moved for you
    -> Press any key to continue..
    ==> ERROR: You need to place the tarball in the right location
    -> Press any key to retry (or Ctrl-C to cancel)..
    ==> ERROR: You need to place the tarball in the right location
    I have downloaded the java tarball and placed it in the correct directory. Still get same errors as above,
    any ideas why?

    Thanks for your offering. I have a bit of house cleaning and rearranging due
    to my knowing I bought the CS4 software and had installed it and thinking
    things would work as before I did not realize that by buying and installing
    another software program Proshow Producer on an external HD and then
    learning from the company that it had to be on C:/ to work properly. That
    forced moving other things around, like CS2, CS3 and  CS4 and leaving CS on
    C:/ then reinstalling Producer as CS works fine for the pictures used in
    Producer and all related files on C: as all my other working photos had to
    move with the software!! With 5 and a half terabits on 6 external HD's I got
    careless and did not properly set things set up as I should have in
    anticipation of my current problem and Adobe's programers, not being mind
    readers programmed things to look on C: when CS2,3, and 4 lived elsewhere.
    It's all a mess but I do have my serial numbers and did discover, thanks to
    your Creative Suite Cleaner Tool offering I found a link to Adobe's original
    CS4 trial files that I was told by Adobe were no longer available due to CS6
    and I can re-download CS4 there and use it since at the moment my CS4 is
    hiding from me. I think a clean re-installation should work before running
    the 'cleaner' with its' gottchas.  I shall send a later follw up when things
    are successfully reloaded. If you think of anything else of value, I would
    certainly appreciate your knowledge!

  • JWS Extensions, and Upgrading JRE/JDK

    We're using Java Web Start to deploy a java gui app, which needs third party libraries. One of these libraries is the Bouncy Castle crypto library, and signing issues mean we can't repackage this library into our main one, so we use the extension method, with a separate jnlp file etc. to copy the BC library to jre/lib/ext/
    This works, and works well.
    Until a client 'upgraded' their installation of the JRE. This client installed the latest 1.4.2 JRE "over the top" of the existing JRE (without uninstalling the old one).
    As of that moment, our app refused to load. Because a new JRE had been installed, jre/lib/ext no longer contains the crypto library. And JWS doesnt notice.
    I'd like a way of forcing JWS to install the extension, or at least to clear its extension cache so it reperforms the checks. Any ideas?

    This is a well known problem. If you use extension installer to install files in jre/lib/ext. It will only be there for one update version.
    One way around this is to just use a component extension instead of an installer-extension, that figures out itself where jre/lib/ext is, and checks if the jar is installed, and installs it if it is not there.
    another way is to use specific installer extensions for each update release:
    something like this:
    <resources>
    <j2se version="1.4.2_08" href="http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se">
    <resources>
    <extension href="installer08.jnlp"/>
    </resources>
    </j2se>
    <j2se version="1.4.2_09" href="http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se">
    <resources>
    <extension href="installer09.jnlp"/>
    </resources>
    </j2se>
    neither is a great solution, we should provide an easier method of addressing this in a future version of javaws

  • Can I use Java Creator 2 with old JRE/JDK 1.4.2_07??

    I am planning to install new Java Creator 2 but I am having JRE and JDK 1.4.2_07 and I am using mysql 3.23.55 and I want to integrate it.
    Currently my OS is Windows XP SP2 platform with processor Intel Centrino 1.4 and RAM 256 MB... I know the ram is not sufficient and i am planning to upgrade it.. but the problem is can i still remain to use the old JRE and JDK 1.4.2_07 and i am also using mysql 3.23.55... all the driver and engine are out to date but can i still use it and integrate it with java creator 2?
    The questions are:
    1) Can I use Java creator 2 with those old engine?
    2) What java compiler or development tools i can use to develop java standalone application?
    Thank you

    When the jar file is expanded within Eclipse, it shows that the mail.jar file is built with 1.5.0; I think? Here is the header contents of the MANIFEST.MF file, note "Created by."

    Implementation-Version: 1.4
    Specification-Title: JavaMail(TM) API Design Specification
    Specification-Version: 1.3
    Implementation-Title: javax.mail
    Extension-Name: javax.mail
    Created-By: 1.5.0 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)

    Implementation-Vendor: Sun Microsystems, Inc.
    Specification-Vendor: Sun Microsystems, Inc.
    SCCS-ID: @(#)javamail.mf     1.6 05/12/09
    This is causing problems, because anytime I try to use this file, I get signing errors. I have several Web Services built by BAE and Plumtree that are running on 1.4.2; and therefore I am stuck with 1.4.2. I did try to remove the SUN_MICR.* files, thinkning it would resolve the signing issues, but then that caused other problems. I can provide you with code that demonstrates the problem.
    Is there a place where I can get a mail 1.4 jar file built with 1.4.2? that would most likely solve my problems.
