Environment compatibility

Operating Systems / Databases

  • All WSO2 Carbon-based products are Java applications that can be run on any platform that is JDK 1.6.*/1.7.* Open JDK compliant.  
  • All WSO2 Carbon-based products are generally compatible with most common DBMSs.

Oracle Java SE Development Kit (JDK)*

Required by all WSO2 products to:
  • To launch the product as each product is a Java application.

1.6.24 or later / 1.7.*

  • 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.
  • If you want to build the product from the source distribution, you must use JDK 1.6 instead of JDK 1.7.
  • We do not recommend OpenJDK.

    • To enable the product's JMS transport and try out JMS samples. The ActiveMQ client libraries must be installed in the product's classpath before you can enable the JMS transport.
