Testing
Third-party Java Application Servers
With regard to support for each third-party Java Application Server supported version, Micro Focus:
  • Provides support until end-of-service (EOS) dates provided by the JAS vendor
  • If your deployment requires support for a given JAS beyond the vendor’s EOS dates, check with Customer Support for availability of Extended Support Plus options
  • Encourages you to include third-party JAS consideration when planning an upgrade to your Micro Focus product
Planned support
Support for the following is planned for a future release:
  • JBoss EAP 8.0
Resolving reported issues
With regard to resolving reported issues with Micro Focus software while using a third-party Java Application Server, Micro Focus:
  • Attempts to resolve issues for supported JASs on tested or untested platforms
  • Investigates issues involving planned but not yet supported JASs and attempts to resolve non-architectural issues that also occur in latest supported JAS version

1 Apache 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).

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

3 On UNIX platforms, JBoss EAP 7.1.4 and later restricts support of Adoptium's OpenJDK to specific platforms. For more information, 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

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:
