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 yet. Also, we we do not recommend or support OpenJDKOpenJDK as we do not support it or test our products with it.
All WSO2 products are generally compatible with most common DBMSs. For more information, see Working with Databases.
If you have difficulty in setting up any WSO2 product in a specific platform or database, please contact us.
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 WSO2 Products.

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 as we do not support it or test our products with it.
