# Changes in Java Agent 2023.x

## Java Agent 2023.11.x

There are no incompatible changes in the Java Agent 2023.11 release or the Java Agent 2023.11.1 maintenance release.

### Java Agent 2023.11.2

#### URL handling

To improve security, we've made changes to how the agent handles incoming URLs. These changes may affect the agent's behavior because not-enforced rules and AM policies are evaluated against normalized paths with the path parameters removed.

Learn more about these changes in [URL handling](whats-new.html#url-handling-2023112).

#### Monitoring

The common REST monitoring endpoint has been removed. Use the [Prometheus endpoint](https://docs.pingidentity.com/java-agents/2023.11/maintenance-guide/monitoring.html#monitor-prometheus) for monitoring your deployment.

## Java Agent 2023.9

### Tomcat Java Agent software update

The `agent.jar` isn't required for drop-in software update to Java Agent 2023.9. If the file is present in the container, delete it as described in *Tomcat Java Agent software update*.

### JBoss and WildFly Java Agent software update

You must now provide the full path to `jee-agents-sdk-version.jar` in the `module.xml` file for drop-in software update to Java Agent 2023.9. The following libraries are no longer required:

* `agent.jar`

* `jee-agents-jboss-common-version.jar`

* `tyrus-standalone-client-version.jar`

For more information, refer to *JBoss and WildFly Java Agent software update*.

### Jetty Java Agent software update

The `agent.jar` file isn't required for drop-in software update to Java Agent 2023.9. If the file is present in `amlogin.mod`, delete it as described in *Jetty Java Agent software update*.

### WebLogic Java Agent software update

The following libraries aren't required for drop-in software update to Java Agent 2023.9:

* `agent.jar`

* `jee-agents-installtools-version.jar`

For more information, refer to *WebLogic Java Agent software update*.

## Java Agent 2023.6

There are no incompatible changes in this release.

## Java Agent 2023.3

### JDK 8

Support for JDK 8 has been removed.

### JDK 11 with WebLogic 12c Java Agent and WebSphere Java Agent

WebLogic 12c Java Agent and WebSphere Java Agent do not support JDK 11, which is the minimum JDK version supported in this release. Consequently, these platforms are not supported in this release. Use Java Agent 5.10 or an earlier version for these platforms.
