Prior to installing any WSO2 Carbon-based product, it is necessary to have the appropriate prerequisite software installed on your system. Verify that the computer has the supported operating system and development platforms before starting the installation.

The config-validation.xml file in the <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/conf/etc directory contains a list of recommended system parameters, which are validated against your system when the server is started. See Configuring config-validation.xml for details.

System requirements

Memory

  • ~ 2 GB minimum
  • ~ 1 GB heap size. This is generally sufficient to process typical SOAP messages but the requirements vary with larger message sizes and  the number of messages processed concurrently.

Disk

  • ~ 1 GB, excluding space allocated for log files and databases.

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.* compliant.  
  • All WSO2 Carbon-based 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 WSO2 Products. 
  • If you have difficulty in setting up any WSO2 product in a specific platform or database, please contact us.

Required applications

The following applications are required for running the ESB and its samples or for building from the source code. Mandatory installs are marked with *.

Application

Purpose

Version

Download Links

Oracle Java SE Development Kit (JDK)*

Required by all WSO2 products to:

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.

Apache ActiveMQ 
JMS Provider*
  • 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.
5.5.0 or later

If you use any other JMS provider (e.g. Apache Qpid), install any necessary libraries and/or components.		http://activemq.apache.org

Apache Ant

1.7.0 or later

http://ant.apache.org
SVN Client

 

Apache Maven

  • To build the product from the source distribution (both JDK and Apache Maven are required). If you are installing by downloading and extracting the binary distribution instead of building from the source code, you do not need to install Maven.

3.0.x

http://maven.apache.org

Web Browser

  • Required by all WSO2 products to access each product's Management Console. The Web Browser must be JavaScript enabled to take full advantage of the Management console.

NOTE: On Windows Server 2003, you must not go below the medium security level in Internet Explorer 6.x.
