JBoss EAP 8.0 Supported Configurations

Supported Java Virtual Machines

In order to be running in a supported configuration, JBoss EAP must be running in one of the following Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK) certified implementations and on one of the operating systems supported by that implementation. Red Hat relies on the TCK to validate platform compatibility.

JBoss EAP 8.0 Tested Integrations

Tested Integrations are a defined set of specifically tested integrating technologies that represent the most common combinations that JBoss Enterprise Middleware customers are using. For these integrations, Red Hat has directly, or through certified partners, exercised our full range of platform tests as part of the product release process. Issues identified as part of this testing process are highlighted in the release notes for each JBoss EAP release. This list of tested integrations will expand over time.

Red Hat provides both production and development support for the tested integrations in the same major version family at or above the tested version according to your subscription agreement. Earlier versions of a tested integration in the same major version family are supported on a commercially reasonable basis.

Tested Frameworks

These are the third party frameworks where Red Hat does not provide upgrades and fixes under our standard support terms and conditions. Commercially reasonable support is provided by Red Hat Global Support Services for these frameworks.

Red Hat may end support of these new "Tested Frameworks" at the end of the full support (Phase 1) cycle of Red Hat JBoss EAP 8.x.

Framework Version Additional Considerations
Spring (Core) 6.0.4.RELEASE Red Hat may drop support for a "Spring Major Version" in favor of a new Spring version in a JBoss EAP minor release.
Spring Security 6.0.1.RELEASE Red Hat may drop support for a "Spring Major Version" in favor of a new Spring version in a JBoss EAP minor release.
Spring Web Flow 2.5.1.RELEASE Red Hat may drop support for a "Spring Major Version" in favor of a new Spring version in a JBoss EAP minor release.
Spring Web Services 4.0.1.RELEASE Red Hat may drop support for a "Spring Major Version" in favor of a new Spring version in a JBoss EAP minor release.

JBoss EAP 8.0 Compatible JBoss EAP XP versions

JBoss EAP XP Version Notes Current Support Level (Full, Maintenance, Unsupported)
EAP XP 5.0 EAP XP 5.0 is only supported for EAP 8.0. Full

See JBoss Enterprise Application Platform expansion pack (JBoss EAP XP or EAP XP) Life Cycle and Support Policies for more information about EAP XP

It should be noted that when JBoss EAP XP is setup on JBoss EAP server installation, JBoss EAP XP Support policy and life cycle becomes effective and the Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform support policy and life cycle terms and dates no longer apply.

When JBoss EAP XP is setup, the following supported configuration exceptions apply on the server instance:

  • JBoss EAP XP 5.0 is supported on Java SE 11 and Java SE 17
  • The Deprecated or Unsupported components and features of the tested JBoss EAP releases are not supported. See JBoss Enterprise Application Platform Component Details
  • The "EAR" (Enterprise Application Archive) deployment package type is not supported.
  • Domain Mode is not supported.
  • Azul JDKs are not supported.
  • During the life cycle of EAP XP, in very rare cases, some supported configurations may be deprecated and removed.
  • Only a single microservice app (deployment) on a given server is allowed. Multiple Deployments on a given server is not supported.
  • OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) Version 3 is not supported. See Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform Life Cycle Policy (non-current versions)
  • RPM based installation is not supported

Notes

[1] Red Hat expects that customers will remain on a supported environment. In the event that a JVM, operating system, database, etc., or its version is no longer supported by its vendor, Red Hat may be limited in its ability to provide support and may require you to reproduce the issue in a supported environment for continued assistance.

[2] Red Hat limits support of OpenJDK to OpenJDK builds from Red Hat.
For more information on Open JDK on Windows please see this article.

[3] Deprecated in Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 8
