CF2021 Update 16

[rickmaz]

While reviewing the technotes for Update 16, I noticed a mention about keeping the JDK updated. I understand that ColdFusion supports Java 11, and according to the ColdFusion documentation, it supports versions up to 11.0.25. Currently, I am running Java 11.0.11.

My questions are:

1. Is there a need to upgrade to a newer version of the JDK?
2. Has anyone encountered any significant issues or challenges during the upgrade process?

Additionally, if I install the new JDK using the .exe file, can I simply update the path to the /jre folder in the ColdFusion Administrator, restart the server, and test the changes? If there are any issues, would it be possible to revert to the previous version without complications?

@rickmaz  You can continue using JDK 11.0.11, but the server may be vulnerable. We recommend upgrading to 11.0.25. 

Follow the below article to upgrade the JDK:
