JBoss Enterprise Application Platform Supported Configurations

Every JBoss Enterprise Application Platform release is tested and certified on a variety of market leading Operating Systems, Java Virtual Machines (JVMs), and Database combinations. Since we are not able to test every possible combination, this page describes what we consider to be fully supported configurations. Each supported configuration applies to the latest JBoss Enterprise Application Platform version. Red Hat supports both Compatible and Certified configurations.

Compatible Configurations

Fully supported Compatible Configurations include any operating system capable of running one of the JVM version families from the table listed below, as well as any database that uses a JDBC compliant data source. Various market leading operating systems such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise, Microsoft Windows, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX and z/OS are fully supported in both physical & virtual environments as long as these compatible JVMs are being used.

Red Hat will provide both production and development support for these Compatible Configurations (according to your corresponding subscription agreement) as long as your support issue is within the context of applications running on or with JBoss Enterprise Application Platform. Red Hat relies on the testing and certification process of the underlying Java standards for platform compatibility. Fully supported, Compatible configurations are listed here:

• JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 5.0
• JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 4.3
• JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 4.2

Certified Configurations

Certified Configurations are a defined set of specifically validated and tested Operating Systems, chip architectures, JVM, and database combinations. These represent the most common combinations that JBoss Enterprise Middleware customers are using. For these configurations, Red Hat has directly, or through certified partners, exercised our full range of platform certification tests as part of the product release process. Issues identified as part of this testing process are highlighted in Release Notes for each Application Platform release. This list of Certified Configurations will expand over time, and if you are a customer or partner interested in the status of specific combinations, please contact your Red Hat Account Manager. Certified configurations for each release are listed here:

• JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 5.0
• JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 4.3
• JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 4.2
