Windows Server 2012

Currently we are using Orbeon PresentationServer 3.0.1. as part of a Workflow Management system application that our client uses.  We host the app for them and we are in the process of upgrading to Windows 2012 server from Windows 2003, as its support is going away.  The app itself runs on Tomcat 5.0.  Is anyone currently running OPS 3.0.1 on a Windows Server 2012 box?

Thanks!

Hi Henry,

Wow, version 3.0.1 from almost 10 years ago; that is *really* old.

https://github.com/orbeon/orbeon-forms/wiki/Orbeon-Forms-release-history

I'd use Java 7, to have some confidence that the JVM is supported on Windows Server 2012, and that the version of Java includes the latest security fixes.   According to the page below, you should be fine running Tomcat 5.5 on Java 7. I'm not sure if this is also the case of Tomcat 5.0, but it might just work. So if I were you, I'd just give it a try. You'll let us know if it works!

Alessandro,
  I am curious to find out if we did decide to upgrade OPS 3.0.1, is there a clear migration path to do that and what version would we go to?  


Thanks!

Hi Henry,

If by "clear" you meaning "set of mechanical steps that one can follow", then the answer is no. It's going more about running the code on the latest version, finding problems, and fixing them one by one until everything works as expected.

I don't know about the situation you're in, but typically, this isn't something I would recommend if your app just in maintenance mode, and you're not planning to update or to improve it going forward.
