Servlet Container Support Strategy
There are a lot of Servlet Containers out there and supporting all of them in all versions is just too hard to be done in a quality manner.
By "supporting" we mean:
- Issues created for these Servlet Containers in JIRA are not closed as won't fix and we make a best effort to fix them.
- We try as much as possible to include these Servlet Containers in our tests (be them automated or manual).
- When we create new features or modify existing features we make a best effort to verify that they work on the supported list of Servlet Containers.
- The complete and precise list of supported Servlet Containers in a given XWiki release is indicated in the Release Notes for that release (starting with XWiki 10.7).
Supported Servlet Containers
| Servlet Container | Versions | Reason for supporting it | Installation Instructions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Latest + LTS version strategy. Currently tested:
| Biggest market share of Servlet Containers and most used by XWiki users | Instructions |
| Latest of 12.x | Provided as a packaging in the XWiki Standalone distribution | Instructions |
| Latest + LTS version strategy. Currently tested: latest of 12.x. | Second most used Container by XWiki users | Instructions |
Servlet Containers that are not supported
The following list of Servlet Containers are not officially supported, even though we have installation instructions for them, contributed by the community. XWiki may work with them, completely or partly. We don't constantly test against them, we don't ensure that new features work on them. However whenever someone raises an issue on JIRA about them and it's easy to fix (or if someone provides a patch) then we fix it.
