Tapestry is compatible with a pretty wide range of app servers, Java versions, and open source libraries. Not all combinations are known to work, however.
Note: blanks in the support matrix tables below do NOT indicate incompatibility. They are just documentation gaps.
If you know of any other known compatibilities or incompatibilities, please add a comment at the bottom of this page, or on the Tapestry Users mailing list mailing list.
