2.4. Deciding on a Servlet Container

There are three servlet containers that Red Hat WAF has been tested with. Other servlet containers should work, as WAF only uses standard Servlet 2.3 and JSP 1.2 APIs; however, only these three are tested:

Apache Tomcat

Tomcat 4.0.6 or later is required to prevent security exception errors.

Caucho Resin

Resin 2.1.x is required. Do not use Resin 2.0.x or 3.0.x. Resin is supported under Linux and Microsoft Windows.

IBM WebSphere®

WebSphere is known to work with WAF, but servlet container configuration and server start/stop scripts are not provided.
