Hello,
So, first, some background - I need TLS 1.2 to work on my CF10 server for CFHTTP requests to PayPal (https://www.paypal-knowledge.com/infocenter/index?page=content&widgetview=true&id=FAQ1914& viewlocale=en_US).
After doing a bit of research, I'm still unsure as to whether you can actually get TLS 1.2 working with Java 7 on CF10, even though Java 7 supports it (see http://www.coldfusionmuse.com/index.cfm/2014/12/8/colfusion-jvm-versions-sslv3-tls) which has me wondering whether I need Java 8.
So, I'm thinking of upgrading CF10 to Java 8 which I know DOES work with TLS 1.2 but I rely heavily on SOLR and after reading Charlie Arehart's excellent article (CF911: 'Help! I've updated the JVM which ColdFusion uses, and now it won't start!' - Charlie Arehart's ColdFusion Troubl…) I'm concerned that whatever SOLR version shipped with CF10 won't be compatible with Java 8 and that having CF and SOLR pointing to different JREs is a bad idea.
Does anyone have any experience of upgrading CF10 to Java 8 and running SOLR? Does anyone know what happens if CF points to Java 8 and SOLR sticks with CF10s default Java 7 (minor version 15 I think)?
Thanks,
Louis
