A simple question really.
Will JBOSS Wildfly version 8 run on IBM's AIX operating system using Java 7 or higher ?
Is there any official certification to prove this ?

Is compatibilite Websphere Service Registry and Repositority (WSRR) 8.5.6.2 with Websphere Application Server 9 ?
The latest software compatibility report available says No: https://www.ibm.com/software/reports/compatibility/clarity-reports/report/html/prereqsForProduct?deliverableId=CAF6DB10A58011E496AA0BC59742B3EB&osPlatforms=AIX|Linux|Solaris|Windows|z/OS&duComponentIds=S000&mandatoryCapIds=30|13&optionalCapIds=66|9|71|121|74|27|69|26
But this is really a question for the vendor, not stack exchange.
Thanks for everything covener,
I consulted that with the IBM Lab and effectively the answer was there is NO compatibility between WSRR V8.5.6.2 and WAS V9.
WSRR 8.5 is linked to WAS 8.5.5. Any fix pack to WSRR 8.5 will be supported by WAS 8.5.5 nothing else.
There are no plans to support WAS 9 by WSRR.
Derby error on Windows 7
I have installed both 64 bit and 32 bit JDK's. Can't able to start the derby DB.
Derby 10.15 is for use with Java 9 and higher.
You are using Java 8.
You have two choices:
Upgrade your Java to Java 9
Get Derby 10.14, which supports Java 8
Note that on the Derby downloads page, the available releases are grouped by Java version.
When I was installing WAS, there was a prompt alerting me to use Java 8 by default. I aggreed, because back then it wasn't matter which version to use.
Time passed and now I have necessity to use Java 6 in one of my profiles, which is coming with the WAS by default. Since I aggreed to use newer Java, WAS working on Java 8 by default now. I searched in installation repository, but in IBM Installation Manager Java versions I need are greyed out and cannot be installed separately.
Is there a way to install Java 6 alongside Java 8 in WAS, so I could just switch between them in profiles' setting? I tried official repository for Java 6, but it is empty since IBM dropped it's support in April.
P.S. I tried to change variable JAVA_HOME in Websphere profile setting (as well as in system variables) to look at JDK 1.6 I installed separately, but then my profile refuses to start.
Java 6 is no longer supported, so the WAS Installation Manager has likely removed the option to use JDK 6. For WAS 8.5 you can use either Java 7 or Java 8.
This article talks more about Java 6 End of Support:

For environments other than DEV, can I use JRE instead of JDK for JBoss EAP 7 as recommanded by Red-Hat ?
JDK and JRE both will work. With JRE some monitoring tool like jconsole,jstack,jmap,jvisualvm..etc are not available. So normally Red Hat recommend to use JDK. If you dont want to use these monitoring tool then you can go with JRE.
It's recommended to JDK while developing or testing the project, as it will give you more options.
But JRE would work fine if don't want to use other supports like monitoring tools, maven etc is not needed.
I am looking at Java/J2EE hosting options. I looked around and found AWS and more but Heroku seems to fit well for me. Especially because of the clarity and documentation.
But going through their docs, I came across the "Prerequisites" and it said that :
> Your application must run on the OpenJDK version 6, or 7 (8 is also available in beta).
Does it mean I cannot host my web-app which is compiled in Sun JDK 1.6?
Using : Sun Java 1.6, JSF-2, Spring, Hibernate, MySQL
I just want to know if my web-app with the above specifications can be hosted in Heroku.
Thanks,
Akshat
OpenJDK 6 is compatible with Sun JDK 1.6 so you should be fine. If that doesn't work for you can could bring your own JDK with you to Heroku.
