JBoss Enterprise Application Platform Certified & Compatible Configurations
Every JBoss Enterprise Application Platform release is tested and certified on a variety of market leading Operating Systems, Java Virtual Machines (JVMs), and Database combinations.
Below you will find the combinations that we have validated and certified for JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 4.2 and 4.3.
Since we are not able to test every possible combination, this page will also describe what we consider compatible configurations.
Red Hat supports both Certified and Compatible configurations.
Compatible Configurations
Compatible Configurations include any operating system capable of running one of the JVM version families from the table below, as well as any database that uses a JDBC compliant data source.
Red Hat will provide both production and development support for these compatible configurations (according to your corresponding subscription agreement) as long as your support issue is within the context of applications running on or with JBoss Enterprise Application Platform.
Red Hat relies on the testing and certification process of the underlying JVM for platform compatibility.

Certified Configurations
Certified Configurations are a defined set of validated, tested, and recommended Operating Systems, chip architectures, JVM, and database combinations.
These represent the most common combinations that JBoss Enterprise Middleware customers are using.
For these configurations, Red Hat has directly, or through certified partners, exercised a full range of platform certification tests as part of the product release process.
Issues identified as part of this testing process are highlighted in Release Notes for each Application Platform release.
This list of Certified Configurations will expand over time, and if you are a customer or partner interested in the status of specific combinations, please
contact your Red Hat Account Manager.
