This post is a continuation of my installation of PeopleSoft on a Windows 8 Beta installation. Previously, I installed Tuxedo. This post is about the JRockit JVM. In PeopleTools 8.52, you might be able to get away with using the Regular Oracle Sun JVM, but WebLogic seems designed to work with the JRockit version.
