i2b2 Software Prerequisites

JDK

The recommended version is 6.0 or higher. A JDK is required as the deploy procedures involve compilation.

JBoss

The recommended version is 4.2.2GA. I've gone with this so far, but would like to experiment with a later version.

Apache Ant

The recommended version is 1.6.5 but I've used 1.7.1 and I suspect any at 1.6.5 or above would be suitable.

Ant is required for deployment.

Apache Axis2

The required version is 1.1

Oracle

The recommended DB flavours are Oracle and SqlServer.

The install goes with the free Oracle-XE 10.2.0.1, which is 32bit on the Linux environment. Oracle-XE is limited to 4GB of space and 1GB of memory.

Question: Is there a limitation on the number of users?

My best guess at the moment is that we will not exceed 500GB of database space within the first year. We should have enough latitude to investigate whether MySql or Postgres might be used before we run out of steam with Oracle-XE.
