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.

These are the library versions known to work (and, in some cases, bundled with Tapestry). Unless otherwise noted, adjacent versions will often work fine as well.
