Upgrade from Oracle Java to Some other OpenJDK E.g. Corretto or Redhat

XLayer v2.x was shipped with Oracle Java 1.8.  However due to license changes at Oracle some clients are requesting that we upgrade to OpenJDK either Redhat or Corretto in order to avoid additional costs.

Download either of the Latest 1.8  OpenJDKs and extract the JRE into the SXI directory replacing the current 1.8 JRE in X:/SXI

All XLayer modules will work correctly except XPress.  This is because the JKS in XPressStation/resources/server.jks and XPressDispatch/resources/servers.jks use the DSA algorithm with a key size of 1024.  Security advancements now require a newer algorithm and larger key size.  The new jks use the RSA algorithm and a key size of 2048.

Replace both files and restart XPressStation and then XPressDipatch and they should continue operating as normal.
