1. Java Version: The project uses Java 1.7, which is an outdated version that might not be compatible with the latest tools and security updates. A suitable JDK version needs to be installed on Windows Server 2022 to run the project. Upgrading to a more recent version of Java, such as Java 17, which is the latest long-term support release for the Java SE platform, is also recommended.
.
2. Maven: Maven is a tool for building and managing Java projects. Maven needs to be installed on the server and configured properly to build and run the project.
.
3. Dependencies: Dependencies are external libraries that the project relies on, examples include (but not limited to) ORM tool, validation utilities, internalization library, HTTP request client, logging library, etc... All dependencies in the project need to be compatible with the Java version in use. The dependencies need to be upgraded to their latest versions which work properly on Java 17, to prevent any security vulnerabilities.
.
4. Database: The project uses an SQL Server JDBC driver to connect to a database. Access to the database server from Windows Server 2022 and verification of the application’s database configuration are required. The database schema also needs to match the expected structure of the project.
.
5. Server Setup: The server setup for the project depends on the type of Java application (such as a web application, a desktop application, or a service). For web applications, a servlet container (such as Tomcat) needs to be installed and configured on Windows Server 2022. For other types of applications, other components (such as a message broker, a scheduler, or a cache) might need to be set up.
.
6. Security Settings: Windows Server 2022 has certain security settings or policies that could interfere with the operation of the application. These need to be considered during deployment and adjusted accordingly. For example, HTTPS (SSL using PEM-encoded certificate), certain ports, protocols, or permissions might need to be enabled for the application to communicate with other services or resources.
