Version Compatibility Question

Can an applet or application created in an older version still work with a newer version without recompiling in the newer version? I have code from 1.3 that I want to work with 1.4 but don't want to make new users download both 1.3 and 1.4 jre's and also don't want to have to recompile all the older code everytime a new version is released. If a 1.3 applet is downloaded to run and the 1.3 jre isn't installed but the 1.4 is, I am asked to download 1.3. Is there a line in the applet tag that specifies which version to use? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

But doesn't specifying the plugin version in the
object tag require them to have a specific version of
the plugin installed. ie. if they have 1.4 installed,
but the object tag want 1.3 then it will attempt to
install 1.3.Not quite. It will only install a new version if the version you currently have is older (i.e. a lower version number) than the version specified in the object tag. If 1.4 is installed, then it can run 1.3 without an installation.
This behavior makes sense but it can be problematic at times. For example, our applet works fine with 1.3.0 and 1.3.1_01 but fails with 1.3.1_02 for some reason. If a user has 1.3.1_02, we have to ask them to manually uninstall the JRE and then hit our app. Anyone have a way to get around this?

  • Incopy/indesign version compatibility question

    Hi all,
    I feel like this should be something easy to find in Adobe's information, but I couldn't find it.  Maybe I'm just slow.
    OK, we are a small (free) weekly newspaper.  The person who puts the paper together uses InDesign CS5.  We do not currently have InCopy.  We would like to get InCopy for one of our editors, to work with in the documents made by the person with InDesign CS5. 
    My question of course being...since we can apparently only buy InCopy CS6 now (maybe 5.5 if we really hurry) will it be able to work with the older version of InDesign, or would our InDesign need to be updated to CS6 as well?
    Being a small free paper, we cannot afford to do that...thus my question.  While I understand I could have called an Adobe rep, I don't have time to deal with a sales person at this point, just trying to gather information for my boss.
    Thanks!

    Hurry and buy CS5.5 now. You can work that with one exception. Remote packaging won’t work.
    Dropbox is very good alternative to that. But again. HURRY! Come Monday CS5.5 won’t be available and nothing will work.
    You should be eligible for a free upgrade to CS6 as well.

  • Photoshop Extended version compatability

    I have Photoshop CS3 Extended on both PC (Windows XP) and Mac (OS X Leopard). I'm able to upgrade the PC to CS5 Extended but not the Mac.
    My questions are:
    1 - Will Photoshop CS5 extended work on Windows XP?
    2 - Are CS3 and CS5 backwards compatible - if I work on a document in PC CS5 will the Mac CS5 version be able to open it? I know there will be some things that would not translate backwards, such as Puppet Warp and some of the newer masking and layers features, but I'd still like to be able to work on more basic functions of masking, cloning, etc. on both computers.
    Thanks for any help,
    Marcy

    For the most part, a document saved from Photoshop CS5 will be no problem to open in CS3.  There's a "Maximize Compatibility" setting in Edit - Preferences - File Handling section that you'll want to set to "Always".
    -Noel
    My take is that the compatibility setting should be set based on the kind of work one does.  I have it set to  "Never".  When you check this setting ON you tell Photoshop to save along with all your layers another entity, which is a flattened version of the image. This, makes every PSD file you save larger by a non trival amount.
    So this setting should have no effect regarding Photoshop to Photoshop version compatibility. All Photoshop versions understand layers and do not need a flattened version.  It's intended to maximize the compatibility between Photoshop and any other program  that does not know about  layers but reads PSD files. If you have many of your PSD files going to, for example,  Lightroom or Premiere then set it to "Always". If not, you can set it to "Ask" or "Never" and save yourself a lot of storage space.

  • WAP54G Version compatibility

    I am trying to create a wireless bridge between a network with ip's 198.1.1.xxx (this network has the gateway) to a network with ip's 198.1.2.xxx -  so that it can access the internet thru the gateway).  Both AP's are WAP54G set to bridge mode. Both are configured identically except for the IP numbers.  SSID broadcast disabled and security off.  From everything I have read, I should be able to ping (example 4.2.2.2) from 198.1.2.xxx - but cannot.  The only difference I can see it that one of the WAP54G's is version 2 and the other is Version 3.  Both have firmware 3.0.4.
    Question: Can anyone confirm that I can or cannot create a wireless bridge with differing versions of the same device?
    As a plan B, I have on order a WET200.  Should I have two on order to act as a matched pair as the WAP54G's had to be?
    Thank you.
    Craig

    I work with psd, indd and illu/eps files. I've heard the weird argument that "cause of new features it's not possible to be version compatible, but that's down right silly. Text on top of an image should be readable in any version. Even with a copule of adjustment layers it should be no problems with version compatibility. That Adobe choose to lock and force is another story. I guess I will be sticking to my CS6 version in the years to come. I paid a lot of money for that Master Collection. I also corresponde files with many CS4 users on the client side.

  • OIM Java Compatibility Question

    Hi
    We have OIM 9.1.0.2 BP07 deployed in Weblogic 10.3.0 in test env. Our java version is JDK 1.6.0_10. All our adapters are compiled in this version. We are using this version of java since 1 year.
    Now we are moving to production, and we are not able to get exact java version which we used in test env in internet. My question is if I install java which is certified by weblogic 10.3(i.e 1.6.0_05) then will I face any issues in OIM? is it mandatory to use exact version of java from one env to another?
    Thanks

    Does not make any difference with sub versions. The version compatibility comes into picture at a higher level like JDK 1.5 or JDK 1.6.
    Consider the connector development team, they develop connectors on JDK 1.6 (could be any sub version) and when a customer uses that OOTB connector, they can use any of those sub-versions within JDK 1.6.
    Also the fact that if its your custom adapters then you should be aware that what all java functions you are using and I assume it would be the basic ones, so the version difference should not bring in any issues. If its OOTB connector then see the certification matrix as well.

  • NWDI version compatibility

    Hi,
    Does anyone know if there are any version compatibility constraints developing Java WebDynpro applications on an NWDI (WAS6.40) for deployment on a WAS7.00 instance (e.g. JDK's)?
    I've yet to find a general recommendation similar to that seen for SLD (i.e. keep in line with the highest WAS version on the estate) or any clear documentation on version compatibility across WAS stacks with respect to NWDI.
    We have a highly complex landscape with multiple component/ product versions, and we'd prefer to have a singel central NWDI instance, but I'm not sure if this is practical and/ or possible.
    Any pointers/ documentation/ comments gratefully received
    Cheers
    Neil

    While I can't remember where I've seen it, SAP does recommend that the DI always be kept patched to the latest levels, regardless of what version your landscape (or pieces thereof ) is at.
    So, as long as your DI is at patched to at least the same level as your most 'advanced' system, you should not have any problem.  You should also match your Developer Studio to the same level as your target system to avoid using any plug-ins that offer features not offered by the eventual runtime system.  Yes, the required libraries will be ok (as long as you configure the SLD and the associated track correctly), but the Developer Studio itself needs to be matched up.
    Hope that makes sense.

  • RoboHelp Version Compatibility

    Hello everybody from Greece,
    I want to ask about version compatibility. I've got RoboHelp
    HTML 5.0.2 and my client has RoboHelp HTML 3.1. He asks if I can
    compile his project, but I wnt to know if he will be able to work
    with the project that I will work with in version 5.0.2.
    Is there a way to save the project to an older version?
    Is there a compatibility problem in general?
    Is there going to be a problem if I compile the project in
    the newer version? (Will he see any differences?)
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Tansou and υποδοχή,
    You should be able to open up the X3.1 in X5.02 without a
    problem. X5 will preserve all the feature used in X3.1. Are you
    compiling HTML Help? My guess is that you won't see any difference
    in the output when you compile.
    However, the problem comes when you try and do this the other
    way around. Robohelp is not backward compatible. So you won't be
    able to pass a modified project back to your client. Rick the
    robowizard has a few tricks to help with backward compatibility if
    you don't mind going under the hood. However, not sure if this
    works with X3.1 jumping to X3.1.
    What type of output are you generating?
    Hope that helps

  • Compatibility question re: different versions of Pages?

    If I upgrade to the iOS version 5.5 of Pages in order to access my iCloud drive on my iPhone, will it be compatible with Pages 4.3 (from iWork 09) which I am using on my Mac?  More specifically, if I edit a Pages 4.3 document in the cloud (created on my Mac) with the newer version while on my iPhone, will I then be able to open it on my Mac (or vice-versa)?
    Upgrading to the newer version of Pages on my Mac is definitely not an option due to the fact that it is missing so many features already present in iWork 09.

    A JSP runs on a server. It is actually a servlet that merely outputs HTML (usually) to the browser. Your browser does not (really) know the difference between a JSP and a static HTML page and PERL cgi generated page. There is no interaction what-so-ever between the JSP portion and your browser. There will not be any books about compatibility issues between JSP and browsers since its a non-issue.
    The previous reply suggesting JavaScript conflicts is entirely true. If you want a flipping nightmare job, write javascript that is compatible on NN 3.0 and above and IE 4.0 and above. It's a godd**ned mess.

  • Lightroom, Bridge, Photoshop version compatibility

    I am now using Lightroom 1.1 and also have Photoshop CS2 (version 9.0.2), Bridge CS2 and of course Camera Raw (version ?)installed on my Windows XP computer. My question is, do I have to upgrade to Photoshop CS3 and Camera Raw 4 for compatibility with Lightroom? Also, how do I know which version of Camera Raw is installed?
    PB

    Lightroom has its own version of Camera RAW. The only reason you'd need to upgrade to CS3 is to get the latest version of Camera RAW, and the only reason you'd need to do that is if you want to be able to open the images you edit in Lightroom in Camera RAW and still have all the edits in place. You can open the image itself (processed through Lightroom) in Photoshop will all the edits in place regardless of what version you are using (I use Elements 3.0).

  • NWDS version compatibility !!

    Dear Friends,
    I would like to pose a simple question on the compatiblity of the NWDS version with my Portal version
    My client set up has Portal version of NW 7.0.1 SP3 .The information i get from the SLD has the following info
    Software Components all components...
    Name Version Applied
    sap.com/SAP-JEECOR 7.01 SP3 (1000.7.01.3.0.20081208163400) 20090713142753
    sap.com/SAP-JEE 7.01 SP3 (1000.7.01.3.0.20081208163400) 20090713142549
    Now the client says it has an NWDS version with 7.01.03
    Now we need to set up a system at offshore as well.I couldnt find an NWDS version of the afore said 7.01.03 so i got NWDS 7.1 EHP1 SP4 Preview version from SDN .I would like to ask you if this version is compatible with the NW 7.0.1 SP3. You can also suggest me a more compatible version of NWDS or a place in SDN where i can look up for the compatibility between NWDS and the NW .
    Kindly do the needful.

    Hi Nishita,
    I agree with Gilles... You can not use NWDS 7.1 for your portal 7.0.1. it wont support.
    Always see to it that ur portal version matches with NWDS (even lower version of NWDS works).
