Oracle Customer Care and Billing 2.6 IWS Services to be accessed from SOA 11g running JDK 1.6


Oracle Customer Care and Billing 2.6 is deployed on WebLogic 12c. Weblogic 12c uses JDK 1.8, which uses TLS1.2 for Transport Level Security.

If the IWS services are used by composites running on SOA11g (11.1.1.5/11.1.1.7), if we use the JDK from Oracle Download Archives, we will get an SSL Handshake Exception.

The JSK1.6 does not support TLS 1.2 unless we use the upgrade JDK to 1.7 or
