Each configuration item is assigned one of three possible support categories:

 

Certified

A fully tested and supported configuration

Supported

A supported configuration which has not been fully tested. Support calls are accepted.

Not supported

Configuration neither tested nor supported. Support calls are not accepted. Such configurations may still operate without problems so long as they conform to the J2EE specification.

 

Configurations not listed below are Not Supported but may still operate without problems.

 

Application Server/database configurations

 

Ebase can run on any J2EE application server that implements the J2EE 1.1 specification or higher. Ebase does not require EJB support within the Application Server.
