Platform Support in Clearspace 2.5

Posted by Matt Tucker on Sep 15, 2008 1:43:35 PM

There's been some confusion (and not enough communication from us) about platform support for Clearspace 2.5, so I wanted to post details about how it all works. In order to focus QA efforts we're phasing in support for additional application servers and databases throughout the 2.5.x release cycle. The most critical thing to know is that you shouldn't attempt to upgrade to 2.5.x until your environment is supported. Or even better, consider migrating to our recommended platform configuration (see below).

 

The table below represents our current roadmap for platform support (the release column indicates where a particular platform is first supported). As with any roadmap, it's subject to changes based on shifting demands or unexpected issues:

 

ReleaseApplication ServersDatabasesOSJava Release
2.5.0Tomcat 6MySQL, PostgresLinuxSun JDK 1.6
2.5.1 (Sept 8)Oracle 10 & 11
2.5.2 (Sept 29)JBoss 4, WebSphere 6.1IBM JDK 1.6
2.5.3 (Oct 20)Weblogic 9.2MS SQL Server 2005
2.5.4 (Nov 17)IBM DB2Windows Server 2003IBM JDK 1.5
2.5.5 (Dec 15)
Solaris 10Sun JDK 1.5

 

The breakdown of recommended and supported platforms for the 2.5.x release cycle:

    Which begs the question... I'm running 2.5.1 with JBoss4.3.0EAP (Sun JDK 6, Ubuntu)... I'm curious what problems exist in 2.5.1 that cause you to say wait to 2.5.2.

    Jon -- it's possible that it will work just fine (it likely does), but we haven't been able to do QA testing on JBoss yet so it's possible you will run into unexpected bugs. If you do run into issues, our support team may need you to spin up the environment on a supported platform before they're able to help you resolve the issue.

    Why support for Weblogic, but not Jrockit?
