Greetings,
Does Appway currently support java JDK 1.7 or can we run only on 1.6? I'm using 5.3.5 release under Tomcat 6.0 on Windows 7.

Thanks,
Marcel Sammut

All you have to do is create a .bat file which points to your JAVA_HOME or JRE_HOME (depending on what you have installed)

For example: I have 2 JREs 64bit at "C:\Program Files\Java\jre7" and 32bit at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7"

I have a bat file which contains the following lines (please note that there are 3 lines, the last line starting with "java" is quite long)

start.bat (located next to the appway.jar file)
SET JRE_HOME="C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7"
SET PATH=%JRE_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
java -Dstandalone.hostname=localhost -Dstandalone.port=8080 -Xmx512M -XX:MaxPermSize=128M -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9999 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar appway.jar

This uses the 32bit JRE if you want to start the 64bit just let the first line point to your 64bit JRE location.

On startup you should see something like this in the command window:

64bit
Appway Standalone 6.1.6 - Appway 6.1.6 - Appway Stand-alone Environment 1.2.5

32bit
