Application Server JCA support for Enterprise Server

Lists supported and tested JCA application servers for Enterprise Server.

Restriction: This feature applies only when the Enterprise Server feature is enabled.

Java EE 7, including support for EJB 3.2 and Java Connector Architecture 1.7, is supported for the deployment of EJBs.

The following Java application servers are supported using the following JDKs:

Application Servers	JDK (vendor)	Java EE	COBOL RA
Apache Tomcat 9.0.x¹	1.8 (AdoptOpenJDK)
IBM WebSphere 9.0	1.8 (IBM)	7	X
IBM WebSphere 8.5.5	1.7 (IBM)	6	X
JBoss EAP 7.1.x (where x>=4), and 7.2.x	1.8 (Oracle) 1.8 (AdoptOpenJDK)²	7	X
Oracle WebLogic 12.2.1	1.8 (Oracle)	7	X
¹Apache Tomcat is an HTTP server and servlet container supporting Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages (JSP). Micro Focus Tomcat non-transactional support includes servlet generation with J2SE Beans; no transactional support is provided. Tomcat does not support the use of Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs) or resource adapters (RAs). ²On UNIX platforms, JBoss EAP 7.1.4 restricts support of AdoptOpenJDK to Red Hat Enterprise Linux platforms. See the Red Hat Web site for supported configurations.

Please consult your Application Server documentation to determine which JDK you should use. The JDK is used to:

Start the Application Server
Compile EJBs and Servlets generated by the Interface Mapping Toolkit or the imtkmake command

The remainder of this topic applies to UNIX platforms only

The availability of COBOL resource adapters for these Application Servers differs between UNIX platforms. The following table indicates where support is available for each platform:
