Camunda Cockpit and Java 17

Camunda 7 Topics Discussion & Questions

Hello,

should Camunda Cockpit (7.18) work under Java 17? I’m asking because I assume that the Cockpit application uses the Servlet API under the hood. This API has been removed from Java 17 (javax has been replaced with jakarta).

Or did I misunderstand something?

Could someone shed some light on this please?

Hi,

Serlvet is part of Java/Jakarta EE which is provided by an application server, not the JDK. So Camunda 7.18 works with Java 17 on all supported application servers for that version (which in turn are those that support the javax servlet API).

Cheers,
Thorben
