WebSphere Application Server - Supported Prerequisites
Updated 08/12/2005
This page describes the minimum product levels you should have installed
before opening a problem report with the WebSphere Application Server
support team. Because other products frequently ship fixes, updates, and
new releases, we cannot test every possible configuration. In general, you
can install and run with updates to supported products if those updates
are forward compatible. For additional information on available support
for configurations that do not appear in the following list, click
