java compilation

Question

i am not a java developer so is it possible for me to develop java code on windows and then deploy the windows compiled .class files to a solaris server...would it run..

Answer 1

Yes, it should.

However, watch out for the most common pitfalls like:

• version incompatibility (e.g. class file version, runtime environment)
• system dependent resource descriptors (e.g. file paths)

Answer 2

Yes, that is specifically the premise behind Java's Write Once Run Anywhere motto
