Fusion Metadata Registry requires a Java Runtime Environment and a Java Web Server. We recommend the use of Apache Tomcat as this is primarily used in development and testing of the FMR. However you may find that other Web Servers, such as JBoss, can be used for deployment of the FMR. There is nothing within the FMR that mandates the use of Apache Tomcat.

With regards to versions of dependencies, this depends on the version of FMR you wish to use.

FMR Version 11

This requires a Java version 8 or greater and runs on Apache Tomcat version 9. It will not run on Apache Tomcat version 10.

FMR Version 12 (anticipated release: last quarter 2024)

This requires a Java version 17 or greater and runs on Apache Tomcat version 10.1. It will not run on Apache Tomcat version 9.

We always recommend a Long Term Support (LTS) version of Java. This is versions 8, 11, 17 or 21.
