Re: Trouble downgrading to OpenJdk 7 on Debian 9
Hi David,
> We need to run Tomcat7 on JRE7 on Debian 9.
Debian is not, like other distros, a software museum ;-)
You can run Tomcat 8 on JRE 8 on Debian 9. Anything older
would require Debian 8 “jessie” which is out of regular
security support.
In our experience, what works on Java 7 works on Java 8.
The move from Tomcat 7 to 8 may require changes to the
software, but in most of our inhouse software it didn’t.
While it would be possible to provide JRE 7 for Debian 9
with relatively little effort, albeit completely unsup‐
ported, doing the same for Tomcat and all of its depen‐
dencies is quite some amount of work. (Also, packages
comung with Debian 9 would assume JRE8 or newer.) So it’s
the least work overall to make things work with Tomcat 8.
bye,
