Terracotta 3.6.2 Platform Support

Terracotta is comprised of two different components: the client that integrates with your application, and the server (the server array) that typically runs on a set of separate machines in production.

The client is designed to run on many platform/JDK/container combinations. The server runs directly as a Java process (without a container).

Client JDKs

For standard usage (also referred as Express integration) - via standard application libraries - with Ehcache, Quartz and Web Sessions, the following JDK's are supported:

JDK Version
Sun Hotspot 1.5.0_22
Sun Hotspot 1.6.0_30
Oracle BEA JRockit 1.6.0_26-b03 R28
IBM JDK 1.5
IBM JDK 1.6

Custom/DSO Usage In addition to the ability to integrate Terracotta via standard application libraries (Ehcache, Quartz and Web Sessions), Terracotta also supports a Custom/DSO (Distributed Shared Objects) integration mode. Custom/DSO provides support for additional advanced use cases via lower level JVM-level data type clustering. It is typically only used for direct JVM-level POJO clustering (without using Ehcache), or uses cases that combine Ehcache with explicit DSO clustering of other data types in a single application, or when using Ehcache in non-serialized identity mode. For more information on integration and installation modes, see our Product Documentation. Custom/DSO usage is only supported with the Sun Hotspot JDK - as it relies on a JDK specific boot-jar for byte-code manipulation. Additionally, Websphere is not support with Custom/DSO usage.
