Re: Java - 6

Hi Bill,

ADMIN3 is running old runtime so we disabled it. We can not upgrade it to
latest runtime in IBM i 7.1 and IBM i 7.2 because it may still be used by
customers who have installed Access for Web on Admin3. In IBM i 7.3 ADMIN3
runs latest runtime.

Not sure about service monitor. Probably starts searching from lowest
supported JRE and goes up.

Nadir,
I took your advice and brought HTTP up to level 53 for PTF's.
Having removed Java 6 and restarting the system brought
everything to at least Java 7 (home) and those that we forced to Java 8
as expected.
Then I got a little curious and put Java 6 back on, reapplied PTFs
and restarted the system. The service monitor went back to 6!
Everything else stayed the same (7&8) and ADMIN3 went away.
Interesting but not fatal I suppose.
