Will WSO2 Identity Server support Java 5( JDK 1.5)? - java

I wanted to implement Wso2 authentication and authorization on an old existing java web application in jdk 1.5 and running in oc4j.
Is wso2 identity jars are available in the version 1.5?
We are using IS 5.3 (Latest Version).How can I achieve this in an old application

No, IS 5.3.0 supports only Java 1.7+.
It's very strange to hear such a requirement in 2017. Even Oracle doesn't support Java 1.5 now.

SAML-based SSO for Google Apps replacement

https://developers.google.com/google-apps/sso/saml_reference_implementation_web#file-and-directory-structure-for-saml-reference-code
I noticed there is a warning that this is old and no longer compatible. Is there an updated how to or sample that we can implement into an Ear file for websphere with java 1.6 ? I haven't been able to find anything yet. Thanks.

Minimum JDK & JRE to be used with JAX-WS 2.2.x

I am using JAX-WS wsimport to generate stubs to call Web Services. I need JAX-WS 2.2 or above - which is default only with JDK/JRE 7. What is the minimum JRE/JDK JAX-WS 2.2 can be used against? Can it be used with JRE5. Can it it be used with JRE6. The JAX-WS documentation describes how to use JAX-WS 2.2.x with JDK 6 - https://jax-ws.java.net/2.2.7/docs/ch02.html#running-on-top-of-jdk-6
However, this documentation seems to be for web services on the server side. I couldn't find anything clear in the documentation about whether it can be used for client stubs with JRE 6 (i.e. generation client stubs with JAX-WS 2.2.x & then running them against JRE 6).
Is this fully supported? Any caveats?
Using the Java Endorsed Standards Override Mechanism is the way to go for both client and server.
This mechanism also applies to Java 5 but I don't expect there was much testing of JAX-WS 2.2 on it.

Is WSO2 JAVA 8 ready?

I utilize the WSO2 ESB, App Server, and Data Services modules. We are being forced to move off of JAVA 7 and upgrade to JAVA 8. Does anyone have any information on if WSO2 is compatible with JAVA 8? Thanks!
All the WSO2 products which are based on carbon kernel 4.4.0 or higher version supports Java 8. At the moment following WSO2 products are been released with the Java 8 support.
Governance Registry 5.0.1
Business Process Server 3.5.0
Machine Learner 1.0.0
Complex Event Processor 4.0.0
Application Server 5.3.0
Enterprise Store 2.0.0
Enterprise Service Bus 4.9.0
Governance Registry 5.0.0
You can refer to WSO2 Release Matrix to check the latest WSO2 product releases.
WSO2 ESB 4.9.0 will not work with java 8 in a windows environment although they say it supports java 8. We were told it would but after weeks of trying, we had a video conference with their support team and they realized the issues we were having was with java 8.
The issue we were having was the proxy service would quit working. After starting ESB, I would run a soapUI request. If I went more than 1 minute without running a request again, the service would stop working. My soapUI request would simply spin and never return a response. We would restart the ESB service and my soapUI request would work again but with the same timing issue.
They had me reinstall java 7 and the issue went away. They've created a jira ticket on their end to look into the problem while we continue to use java 7 at this time.
For now we are supporting up to only JDK 1.6 to build our source. But you can run our products using up to JDK 1.7. We still testing further to support up to latest version.
I use WSO2 ESB 4.9.0 and Java 8, I do not have any problems. I use soap proxy and JMS proxy, and also use SOAP UI with it. I did not run on problems such as stopping working. I can put Windows 10 to hibernate, next day open it and proceed sending JMS and Web service requests.

Does java 1.4 support SOAP Binding 1.2?

I have a requirement where i have to develop a Web service Client to consume a web service.
The WSDL shows that the SOAP Binding is 1.2
but the JDK version in Development and JRE in App server is 1.4.
I tried to develop the Web service Proxy through JDeveloper 10.1.2 but it failed the generation saying that the WSDL is invalid.
Is Soap Binding 1.2 supported by java 1.4???
SOAP is not part of Java SE.
Some SOAP support is included Java EE ... via the javax.wsl.soap, but it looks like you would be better of using the JAX-WS support in Metro 1.4.
Unfortunately for you, Metro 1.4 requires Java 1.5 (u2) or later.
However, you should be seriously considering a platform upgrade anyway. Java 1.4 was end-of-lifed a long time ago. Unless you are paying for Oracle support, you won't have access to security patches ... and there have been some significant ones recently.

Java 2 SDK 5.0 or higher
The Release notes tell you all at this site
http://wso2.org/project/wsas/java/2.3/docs/tools/ide.html
WSO2 WSAS is now called WSO2 Application Server and is now in version 4.0.0
If you are to run the latest WSO2 Application Server, it is recommended that you run it with JDK 1.6
