Interoperability Notes

Table 2–2 in Interoperability Matrix summarizes the interoperability of the products in Java ES 7. Before using this matrix, it may be useful to refer to Table 2–1 to understand the product abbreviations used.

To use this matrix, locate the row for the product you are interested in, and then read across to see its interoperability with the other products in Java ES 7. A "Yes" indicates that the product is interoperable, "No" indicates that it is not, and a blank indicates that there is no interaction with the product. A number following the "Yes" or "No" indicates that a note regarding interoperability applies, as described in Technology Notes.

Product Abbreviations

To accommodate the large number of products in Java ES 7, Table 2–2 uses the product abbreviations listed in Table 2–1.

Table 2–1 Java ES Component Product Abbreviations

Abbreviation	Product
DSEE	Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition
ESB	Sun GlassFish Enterprise Service Bus
GFES	Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server
GFWS	Sun GlassFish Web Stack
GFWSS	Sun GlassFish Web Space Server
HADB	Sun GlassFish HADB
IDM	Sun Identity Manager
JCAPS	Sun Java Composite Application Platform Suite (Java CAPS)
MQ	Sun Java System Message Queue
NB	NetBeans
OSSOE	Sun OpenSSO Enterprise
SC	Solaris Cluster including Solaris Cluster Agents and Solaris Cluster Geographic Edition
WPS	Sun Java System Web Proxy Server
WS	Sun Java System Web Server

Refer to Table 1–1 for the latest product version numbers in Java ES 7 Base.

Note that not all of the products listed above are included in the Java ES Base offering, but are instead included in Sun GlassFish Portfolio 2009.12 or other optional Java ES product suites. Information about their interoperability is included here because they have bearing on components in Java ES Base. Refer to Products in GlassFish Portfolio 2009.12 in Sun GlassFish Portfolio Release Notes for the latest products and version in GlassFish Portfolio 2009.12.

Interoperability Matrix

Note that this table presents only interoperability information about pairs of products. It does not present information about general issues the products might have. To form a complete picture of interoperability and feature availability, use this table together with the release notes for the products in which you are interested.

Technology Notes

1. DSEE 6.3.1 and web containers.

   The Directory Server Control Center component of Directory Server Enterprise Edition must be deployed to a web container. It supports deployment on GlassFish Enterprise Server and Apache Tomcat (part of GlassFish Web Stack), but does not support deployment on Web Server. Because the other components of Directory Server Enterprise Edition do not interact with web containers, interoperability of them with web containers is not an issue.

2. Cohabitation of web servers, containers, and proxies.

   When installing any two web servers, containers, or proxies on the same system, you must ensure that no port conflicts arise as a result of the two products trying to provide the same listener service on an industry-standard port, such as an HTTP listener service bound to port 80. This potential port conflict arising from cohabitation applies to these products:

   • GlassFish Enterprise Server

   • Web Proxy Server

   • Web Server

   • GlassFish Web Stack (several components, including Apache Server and Apache Tomcat)

3. IDM 8.1 or JCAPS 6.2 and WS 7.0U6.

   Neither Identity Manager nor Java CAPS support Web Server as a web container. However, services and administrative interfaces for both products can be available through the reverse proxy plug-in feature of Web Server, provided that the services and administrative interfaces are deployed on a supported web container.
