Compatibility With Java Software

Portal Server software falls into three categories:

• Applets. Applets used in Portal Server are compatible with Java 1.1, which is supported by most browsers.

• Web applications. Web applications are intended to be compatible with the (J2EE^TM) web container based on the servlet's interface except where uses of special interfaces are identified. Web application compatibility includes Java 2 (J2SE 1.3) and later.

• Stand-alone Java processes. Stand-alone Java software processes are compatible with Java 2 and later. Some Portal Server software, specifically in Secure Remote Access, use Java Native Interface (JNI) to call C application programming interfaces (APIs).
