By default, WSO2 EI is installed (through the Installer) with OpenJDK, which allows you to run the product as soon as it is installed.
Tip
To If you install the product using the binary instead of the installer, or if you are using the installer but want to use a different JDK other than OpenJDK, be sure to point the JAVA_HOME environment variable to the new JDK. Make sure your JDK version is compatible with the WSO2 product.
AllWSO2 products are generally compatible with most common DBMSs. The embedded H2 database is suitable for development, testing, and some production environments. For most enterprise production environments, however, we recommend you use an industry-standard RDBMS such as Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MS SQL, etc. For more information, see Working with Databases in the Administration Guide. Also, we do not recommend the H2 database as a user store.
It is not recommended to use Apache DS in a production environment due to scalability issues. Instead, use an LDAP like OpenLDAP for user management.
