Supported Web Servers, Browsers, and Firewalls

This section lists configuration components that are supported by WebLogic Platform 7.0 and WebLogic Server 7.0:

 

Web Servers

This section lists Web servers supplied by third-party vendors that are supported by WebLogic Platform 7.0. Web Server plug-ins, delivered with WebLogic Server, enable WebLogic Platform to communicate with applications which have been deployed on a different Web Server. For details about the Web Server Plug-ins, see Using Web Server Plug-Ins With WebLogic Server at the following URL:

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs70/plugins/index.html

Table 4-1 lists the supported Web Servers and the operating systems on which they can be run. The Web Server does not need to be running on the same machine as WebLogic Platform 7.0.

Note: The operating systems listed may not be supported on all releases of WebLogic Platform 7.0. To determine whether an operating system is supported for a particular release of WebLogic Platform or WebLogic Server 7.0, see List of Supported Operating System Configurations.
