Having a process in place to update your production systems frequently and reliably will optimize performance. If you�d like to discuss updating your deployment with a Caucho engineer, please email Alexandra Garmon, garmon@caucho.com, to arrange a call.

Resin in Maven Central Repository

Check out Resin in the Maven Central repository:

<groupId>com.caucho</groupId>

<artifactId>resin</artifactId>

</dependency>

Did you know you can easily embed Resin? Here�s one way:

ResinEmbed resin = new ResinEmbed();

resin.addPort(new HttpEmbed(8080));

WebAppEmbed webApp = new WebAppEmbed(“/”, “webapps/ROOT”);

resin.addWebApp(webApp);

resin.start();

resin.join();

Resin supports JDK 9. JDK 10 and JDK 11 in the works

The new Java release schedule calls for a feature release every six months, an update release every quarter, and a long-term support (LTS) release every three years.

Resin supports JDK 9 and we are currently adding support for JDK 10 and JDK 11.

Oracle introduces Java SE subscription

Oracle is introducing a new paid Java support model called Java SE Subscription. It replaces Oracle�s old perpetual support plan and along with it comes new licensing terms for the Oracle JDK.

In short, Oracle JDK 8 users do not need a subscription for commercial deployments

(see the Java SE 8 license: https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/terms/license/index.html).

Oracle JDK 11 users must have a subscription for commercial deployments (see the Java SE 11 license: https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/terms/license/javase-license.html).

This isn�t entirely bad news because going forward with version 11, the Oracle JDK build will be the same as theOracle OpenJDK build. The only difference is that Oracle JDK comes with a paid support model, whereas Oracle OpenJDK does not.

So what does it mean to you?

JDK 8

option #1: use Oracle JDK 8 but with no more public updates
option #2: use Oracle JDK 8 and pay Oracle for updates with a Java SE Subscription
option #3: use an OpenJDK distribution that provides updates like RedHat, Azul, IBM, etc. (Caucho recommends OpenJDK over the Oracle JDK)

JDK 9/10

end-of life

JDK 11:

option #1: use Oracle JDK 11 with a Java SE Subscription
option #2: use an OpenJDK distribution that provides updates like RedHat, Azul, IBM, etc.

Resin tested against OpenJDK

We recommend using OpenJDK, which is what we use to test Resin. Interesting tidbit: internally, we do not use Oracle JDK at all.
