Question

Basically the subject says it all: We have a couple of components running on Java 5, they're talking to each other via RMI. Should we expect any problems, if we move some of them to Java6? By moving I mean compiling them with -source/target 1.6 and running on a java6 vm.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Nope, you shouldn't expect any problems with that. But anyway take a look to the Release notes for RMI in java 6

Good luck!

OTHER TIPS

We have successfully pulled in Java 5 serialized objects into Java 6 objects so there should be no limitation on the serialization front.

You should also be able to switch between 32bit and 64bit Java as well without issues.
