Chapter 1. Supported versions

Thomas Heute

Here is a list of tested versions or reported as working by users, before reporting a problem please make sure that you are using a compatible version.

If you successfully installed JBoss portal on versions not listed here please let us know so we can add it here.

1.1. JBoss application server

This is really important that you only use one the JBoss version supported, for now we only support JBoss 4.0.0

  • JBoss 4.0.0 (with modifications of the build script to use the standard configuration of JBoss)
  • JBoss 4.0.1

1.2. Database

MySQL is the database used for our testings, 4.0.22 is one version that has been fully tested. There is no reason why any other MySQL database would not work so give it a try.

  • MySQL 4.0 (4.0.22 is known to be supported along with the connector 3.0.16)
  • MySQL 4.1 (4.1.7 is known to be supported along with the connector 3.0.16)
  • MySQL 4.1 (4.1.8 is known to be supported along with the connector 3.1)
  • PostgreSQL (reported to work)
  • HypersonicSQL (Version shipped with JBoss 4.0.1 works)
  • Oracle (not tested)
  • Any database supported by Hibernate should work

1.3. Source building

The source building mechanism works on Windows, Linux, MacOS X and any 'Unix like' operating system.
