Certification and Support Matrix

This document identifies the various third party and Oracle products that are supported to work with the 11g versions of JDeveloper and Application Development Framework (ADF). Oracle ADF may support or certify with a super set of products than required for Oracle Fusion Middleware and this document serves as a reference for those cases. Also, please see the Oracle Fusion Middleware certification documentation. 

The versions of JDeveloper and ADF covered in this document are:

• Oracle JDeveloper and ADF 11g (11.1.1.0.x), corresponds to Oracle WebLogic 10.3.0
• Oracle JDeveloper and ADF 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.1.0), corresponds to Oracle Fusion Middleware Release 1 (11.1.1.1.0) and Oracle WebLogic 10.3.1
• Oracle JDeveloper and ADF 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.2.0), corresponds to Oracle Fusion Middleware Release 1 (11.1.1.2.0) and Oracle WebLogic 10.3.2
• Oracle JDeveloper and ADF 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0), corresponds to Oracle Fusion Middleware Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0) and Oracle WebLogic 10.3.3
• Oracle JDeveloper and ADF 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.4.0), corresponds to Oracle Fusion Middleware Release 1 (11.1.1.4.0) and Oracle WebLogic 10.3.4 
• Oracle JDeveloper and ADF 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.5.0), corresponds to Oracle Fusion Middleware Release 1 (11.1.1.5.0) and Oracle WebLogic 10.3.5
• Oracle JDeveloper and ADF 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6.0), corresponds to Oracle Fusion Middleware Release 1 (11.1.1.6.0) and Oracle WebLogic 10.3.6
  Oracle JDeveloper and ADF 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.7.0), corresponds to Oracle Fusion Middleware Release 1 (11.1.1.7.0) and Oracle WebLogic 10.3.6

In this document, the term Certified is used to denote a configuration that is tested in house by the Quality Assurance team. The term Supported indicates a configuration that has not been fully tested, but that Oracle believes to be functional. In both cases, customers may log bugs with Oracle Support, and the development team will evaluate them and fix them if feasible.

Important Note: After the initial release of 11.1.1.6.0 in February 2012, we have since updated the release to enable working with Oracle Cloud.  These are JDeveloper IDE changes only and do not affect the ADF runtime installation or deployed applications. To confirm which version of the 11.1.1.6.0 release you have, choose Help > About from the JDeveloper main menu. The full version information is displayed in the About box:

• Build JDEVADF_11.1.1.6.0_GENERIC_111205.1733.6192.1: Initial 11.1.1.6.0 release with limited Oracle Cloud Early Access support (Feb, 2012)
• Build JDEVADF_11.1.1.6.0CLOUD_GENERIC_121118.1600.6229: Updated 11.1.1.6.0 release with full Cloud support (Oct, 2012)

Operating Systems

The following operating systems are supported for the JDeveloper IDE. Note, the Oracle ADF runtime components are certified as part of Fusion Middleware.

 Notes:

• 32 bit JDK required for profiling features.
• 64 bit JDK supported for Windows as of JDeveloper 11.1.1.4.0
• For JDK 6, update 39 or later is recommended; for JDK 7, update 10 or later is recommended
• JDeveloper bundles Integrated WLS 10.3.5, which does not support JDK 7. To use JDK 7 for JDeveloper and Integrated WLS, you can install WLS 10.3.6 separately and create an "Integrated Server" connection to it from JDeveloper
• On Mac OS 10.5 Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 8 or later is recommended, on Mac OS 10.6 Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 3 or later is recommended

Databases

Oracle distinguishes between the database development features of the JDeveloper IDE (SQL Worksheet, online and offline database, database modeling, etc) and the Oracle ADF runtime libraries, notably ADF Business Components, in terms of supported databases. Please also see Oracle TopLink certification information.

For third party databases, JDeveloper is certified with the vendor-provided JDBC drivers. ADF is certified with the same drivers as the rest of FMW runtime components, namely the WebLogic (Data Direct) JDBC drivers. See also the  Oracle Fusion Middleware certification documentation.

Application Servers

Please also see Oracle TopLink certification information. Refer to the Oracle Fusion Middleware certification documentation for more information regarding ADF (or JRF) support for third party application servers.

 Notes:

• Oracle Java Cloud Service is currently configured with ADF 11.1.1.6.0 run-time. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to use the JDeveloper 11.1.1.6.0 (Cloud release update) for developing and deploying ADF applications to Java Cloud Service.
•  

Browsers

The Oracle ADF Faces rich client components supported with the following browsers.

 Notes:

• The minimum required Firefox version is 2.0.0.20
• For the ADF Faces components that render in Flash, Flash 9 and Flash 10 are certified until 11.1.1.4.0 from which point only Flash 10 is certified.
• For Internet Explorer 8 and 9, only Native mode is supported. View Compatibility mode should be disabled.

Mobile Browsers

The following mobile browsers are certified or supported for use with Oracle ADF Mobile Browser client. Oracle ADF Mobile Browser client uses Apache MyFaces Trinidad components. Please also see Apache MyFaces Trinidad supported platforms information.

Source Control Systems

Desktop Clients

The following Windows desktop client applications are supported or certified with Oracle ADF Desktop Integration.

 Notes:

• ADF Desktop Integration requires Internet Explorer installed on the client.
