Java Virtual Machine for Java Mapping development

[AntonioSanz]

Hi all,

I am going to develop a java mapping over eclipse. I haven`t installed any java virtual machine on my PC. I need it, and I want to ask what version of java virtual machine do I have to use (in order to downoal it and install).

I will be working with SAP PI 7.1

Thanks

If you are going to develop java mappings with eclipse i recommend you to download the SAP Netweaver Developer Studio in order to have the SAP libraries in your PC and eclipse IDE more near to SAP.

hi,

XI3.0, PI7.0 --> Java 1.4

PI7.1 --> Java 1.5 (Java 1.4 does not work as 7.1 mapping API's are compiled by higher java version)

PI7.3--> Java 1.5 & 1.6 (Java 1.4 does not work as 7.3 mapping API's are compiled by higher java version)

Hi,

java mapping developed on JDK 1.5. will work for PI7.1 in case if you have higher version then it will result into linkage error once u import ur mapping in PI (please correct me if i am wrong)..i am using jdk1.5.0_06 and its working fine

Thanks

Hi,

I would recommend Java 1.5 with some recent updates. Personally I am using 1.5.12 and it is precisely with PI 7.1.

Hope this helps,
Greg

Hi,

any jdk from 1.4 will be ok but install the latest 1.6

You can use Java 1.6 and latest Java 7 but in this case you will need to set up project compiler compliance level to 5.0 (i.e. Java 1.5).

I always recommend to have JDK 1.5 installed only just to avoid linkage issues. I am personally using latest jdk 1.5.22
