Sun Java System Portal Server 7.2 Deployment Planning Guide

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 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE^TMplatform) 1.3 and later.
Standalone Java processes. Standalone Java software processes are compatible with Java 2 and later. Some Portal Server software, specifically in Secure Remote Access, use Java Native Interface to call C application programming interfaces (APIs).
