8.1.2 Our solution: Reflection for the Web Launcher

The Reflection for the Web Launcher is a private client-side application that installs an OpenJDK JRE with Web Start (JNLP) to launch Reflection for the Web sessions. OpenJDK eliminates the need for Oracle’s JRE and the Java browser plug-in. And, Reflection for the Web Launcher can be used with any browser.

In response to Oracle’s announcement, we offer three deployment options to accommodate your organization’s transition away from Oracle’s Java and the Java browser plug-in.

As you move from Standard to Hybrid to theLauncher option, your system will exclusively use the Reflection for the Web Launcher, and will no longer require Oracle’s JRE or the Java browser plug-in. The Reflection for the Web Launcher Installer is packaged as a Windows .msi file.

See Using the Reflection for the Web Launcher for details about the Deployment Options and the expected user experience.

Note: JRE security updates are provided in Reflection for the Web product updates.
