What versions of the SAP Enterprise Portal support Java 5?

Example:

If we were to use Java 5 code for an iView what versions of the portal would it run in?

I have reviewed the Product Availability Matrix (PAM) and this is not clear. All I can find are references to JAVA 4 when using EP 6.

Hi Alejandro,

Currently, the version of SAP NetWeaver that is J2SE 5.0 as well as Java EE 5 compatible is the [SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment (NW CE)|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/nw-ce]. It does not provide the "full" Portal capabilities, however it does come with a "Portal Lite" and supports Portal applications development scenarios.

For more information:

[Introduction to NW CE|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/45/ff9fc1d8986c06e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm]

HTH!

Something else to bear in mind... you can run NW CE 7.1 Portal content within a NW 7.0 Portal.

So if you need "full" Portal capabilities, you can still run a non-Java EE 5 (NW 7.0) portal as your main Portal environment, and embed Java EE 5 content from another NW system within it.

Yup, this is called the "Federated Portal Network" and is explained at the bottom of a page linked from the aforementioned page: [Integrating Applications into the Portal|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/45/08f956ef592462e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm].

Cheers,

This is great information Vladimir and Stuart, Thanks. However, when do you intend to release a Java 5 portal? Will it be in NetWeaver 7.2 or before that?

I'm not quite sure what you're looking for here.

NW 7.1 is Java EE 5, which means the portal runs on Java EE 5 too.

Depending on how you configure it, the iView JVM can be completely independent of the Portal JVM, so it doesn't generally matter which version of Java the Portal runs in, so long as your iView runtime is Java EE 5 (if I'm understanding you correctly).

Basically, the answer to your question is NetWeaver 7.1 (assuming I've understood you correctly).
