Operating Systems / Databases

  • All WSO2 Carbon-based products are Java applications that can be run on any platform that is Oracle JDK 1.6.*/1.7.* compliant. JDK 1.8 is not supported yetAlso, we do not recommend or support OpenJDK.    
  • It is not recommended to run WSO2 BAM on Windows since Hadoop is not optimized for Windows.

  • All WSO2 products are generally compatible with most common DBMSs. For more information, see Working with Databases.

  • It is not recommended to use Apache DS in a production environment due to issues with scalability. Instead, it is recommended to use an LDAP like OpenLDAP for user management.

  • For environments that WSO2 products are tested with, see Environments Tested with Compatibility of WSO2 Products. 
  • If you have difficulty in setting up any WSO2 product in a specific platform or database, please contact us.

Oracle Java SE Development Kit (JDK)*

1.6.*/1.7.*

Info
  • If you are using JDK 1.6, you might need to replace the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) policy files in your JDK with the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy files. This will avoid "illegal key size" errors when you try to invoke a secured Web service.
  • To build the product from the source distribution, you must use JDK 1.6 instead of JDK 1.7.
  • Oracle and IBM JRE 1.7 are supported when running (not building) WSO2 products.
  • We do not recommend OpenJDK.
Info

If you are using JDK7 on Mac OS, follow the steps below to install the Snappy-java library: 

  1. Download the Snappy JAR file from here, and extract it to a preferred location. We will refer this extracted folder as <SNAPPY_HOME>.
  2. In <SNAPPY_HOME>/org/xerial/snappy/native/Mac/ folder, you find the Snappy java library files (.jnilib files) as i386 (32bit) and x86_64 (64bit). Copy the appropriate one to <BAM_HOME>.
