ServletExec System Requirements

The following is a summary of the system requirements and supported platforms for ServletExec.

Important: Please refer to and thoroughly review the ServletExec Installation Guide under Documentation in the ServletExec Self-Help section for additional details before installing any version of ServletExec:
ServletExec Documentation.

ServletExec/AS 2012

ServletExec/AS 2012 is a standalone web application server that hosts Java Servlets and JSPs.

OS / Web Server Support

ServletExec/AS 2012 is supported on the following systems:

Operating System	Web Server
Windows Server 2019	Microsoft IIS 10.0
Windows Server 2016	Microsoft IIS 10.0
Windows Server 2012 R2 Windows 8.1	Microsoft IIS 8.5
Windows Server 2012 Windows 8	Microsoft IIS 8.0

JDK / JRE Support

Notes (All Platforms):

The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) does not contain a Java compiler, which is required by ServletExec to support JavaServer Pages (JSP); be sure to install a Java Development Kit (JDK), and not the JRE, if you plan to use JSPs.

The JDK or JRE must be installed on a local drive and not on a mapped network drive. If the JDK/JRE has been installed on a mapped network drive, ServletExec/AS will not be able to load and initialize the Java VM.

ServletExec/AS 2012 supports the following JDK/JREs:

JDK/JRE Vendor	JDK/JRE Version	Vendor URL
All Vendors	1.5 or higher	Refer to Vendor

ServletExec/AS 6.0

ServletExec/AS 6.0 is a standalone web application server that hosts Java Servlets and JSPs.

OS / Web Server Support

ServletExec/AS 6.0 is supported on the following systems:

Operating System	Web Server
Windows Server 2008 R2 Windows 7 (both x86 & x64)	Microsoft IIS 7.5 Apache HTTP Server 1.3.9 - 1.3.x 2.0.43 - 2.0.x 2.2.4 - 2.2.x Sun Java System Web Server [SJSWS 7.0u1] SunONE Web Server 6.1
Windows Server 2008 Windows Vista (both x86 & x64)	Microsoft IIS 7.0 Apache HTTP Server 1.3.9 - 1.3.x 2.0.43 - 2.0.x 2.2.4 - 2.2.x Sun Java System Web Server [SJSWS 7.0u1] SunONE Web Server 6.1
Windows Server 2003 (both x86 & x64)	Microsoft IIS 6.0 Apache HTTP Server 1.3.9 - 1.3.x 2.0.43 - 2.0.x 2.2.4 - 2.2.x Sun Java System Web Server [SJSWS 7.0u1] SunONE Web Server 6.1
SPARC Solaris 10 SPARC Solaris 9 SPARC Solaris 8 SPARC Solaris 7 SPARC Solaris 2.6 (with patch)	Apache HTTP Server 1.3.4 - 1.3.x 2.0.43 - 2.0.x 2.2.4 - 2.2.x Sun Java System Web Server [SJSWS 7.0u1] SunONE Web Server 6.1
HP-UX 11v2 (11.23) HP-UX 11i v1.0 (11.11) HP-UX 11.0	Apache HTTP Server 1.3.4 - 1.3.x 2.0.43 - 2.0.x 2.2.4 - 2.2.x Sun Java System Web Server [SJSWS 7.0u1] SunONE Web Server 6.1
IBM AIX 5.3 IBM AIX 5.2 IBM AIX 5.1	Apache HTTP Server 1.3.4 - 1.3.x 2.0.43 - 2.0.x 2.2.4 - 2.2.x SunONE Web Server 6.1
Red Hat Linux 9.x Red Hat Linux 8.x Red Hat Linux 7.x Red Hat EL 5 Red Hat EL 4 Red Hat EL 3	Apache HTTP Server 1.3.4 - 1.3.x 2.0.43 - 2.0.x 2.2.4 - 2.2.x Sun Java System Web Server [SJSWS 7.0u1] SunONE Web Server 6.1
SuSE Linux 9.1 SuSE Linux 8.2	Apache HTTP Server 1.3.4 - 1.3.x 2.0.43 - 2.0.x 2.2.4 - 2.2.x

ServletExec/AS 6.0 is not supported on Windows NT/95/98/Me.

You can download the Solaris 2.6 patch ReadMe from: ftp://sunsolve.sun.com/pub/patches/105181.readme

Notes (UNIX/Linux Only):

In addition to the tested and supported UNIX operating system versions, ServletExec 6.0/AS should work on any UNIX variant when used with a supported version of Apache from www.apache.org (Apache 1.3.x, 2.0.x, or 2.2.x). (not Sun ONE or SJSWS). This is accomplished by providing the ServletExec web server adapters for the Apache HTTP Server in source-code form and utilizing the DSO capability of Apache. Because there are a number of potential manufacturer variants and/or release differences in UNIX systems that may cause the installation to fail, ServletExec is not fully supported in these environments. Correcting these types of problems comes with issues that are both technical and/or business-related and therefore are not officially supported. If you do have any problems, first contact ServletExec Tech Support at ServletExec Support. Be sure to include the installation log with your email so that the problems may be accurately analyzed.
SE FAQ #89 may also be of interest.

In addition to a JDK 1.5-compliant VM, these installations require an ANSI C compiler (GNU version 2.8.1 or higher preferred. Vendor-specific C compilers are not supported) and a system-specific dynamic shared object loader.

JDK / JRE Support

Notes (All Platforms):

ServletExec/AS 6.0 supports the following JDK/JREs:

JDK/JRE Vendor	JDK/JRE Version	Vendor URL
All Vendors	1.5 or higher	Refer to Vendor

ServletExec/AS 6.0 does not support JDK/JRE versions prior to 1.5
(The Servlet 2.5 Specification mandates that JVM 1.5 or higher be used.)

A Note about IBM's JDK 1.5 on AIX:
IBM's JDK 1.5 on AIX places the java executable inside .../sdk/jre/bin/.
But the lib folder alongside that bin folder does NOT contain tools.jar.
tools.jar is found in a lib folder that is 1 level above that "standard" location.

For example:
.../sdk/lib/tools.jar
(i.e. "above" the jre folder).

So if javaHome is:
/usr/installers/jvms/java5/sdk/jre
then a symbolic link for tools.jar must be created if you wish SE to be able to find tools.jar out-of-the-box
(tools.jar is needed in order to run JSP pages).
Here is an example:
ln -s ../lib/tools.jar /lib/tools.jar

Web Server Adapters

ServletExec/AS 6.0 includes web server adapters for the following web servers on UNIX:

Apache HTTP Server 2.2.0 - 2.2.x
Apache HTTP Server 2.0.43 - 2.0.x
Apache HTTP Server 1.3.4 - 1.3.x
Sun Java System Web Server [SJSWS 7.0u1]
Sun ONE Web Server 6.1

Please refer to the ServletExec Installation Guide for more details.
