Enterprise Client Community

Hi,

today Java 7 was made available for download from Oracle/Sun.

We did a rough check of our client, results are:

(.) NO problems with all Java-components.
(.) There seems to be a problem when embedding native components via BROWSER or ACTIVEX components - they properly start up etc., but: when a native component is active, then the keyboard input on normal fields seems to be blocked.

Consequence: if you use BROWSER and/or ACTIVEX components - do not immediately upgrade to Java 7. We are currently checking the issue.

Regards,
Björn

...when working with BROWSER/ACTIVEX: if tabbing out of the field and tabbing back in, then keyboard input works just as normal - only seems to be the first field...

Hi,

we now found a way to bypass the problem, so that things should be OK. Our examples all are working fine again, now. Next Monday's update contains the corresponding change.

Regards, Björn

have you tested Java 7 on server side?

Hi,

not "formally" - we internally use Java 7 on server side as well + did not find any problems yet. In general the server side is "much more relaxed" than the client side...

I can confirm that it also works with Java 7.
So far we haven't found any problems...

Kind regards
Daniel
