About Terracotta Documentation

This documentation is about Terracotta DSO, an advanced distributed-computing technology aimed at meeting special clustering requirements.

Terracotta products without the overhead of DSO meet the needs of most use cases and clustering requirements. To find documentation on non-DSO Terracotta products, see the Terracotta Product Documentation.

Terracotta release information, such as release notes and platform compatibility, is found in Product Information.
Release: 3.3.0
Publish Date: July, 2010

Platform Support

The platforms listed on this page are currently certified for use with commercial Terracotta product editions. As a 100% Java solution, Terracotta should run without issues on Java platforms for which it is not certified. If you have any questions about a certified or non-certified platform, contact us in one of the following ways:

Terracotta is comprised of two different components: the client that integrates with your application, and the server (the server array) that typically runs on a set of separate machines in production.

The client is designed to run on many platform/JDK/container combinations. The server runs directly as a Java process (without a container).

Client JDKs

For standard usage (also referred as Express integration) - via standard application libraries - with Ehcache, Quartz and Web Sessions, the following JDK's are supported:

JDK Version
Sun Hotspot 1.5.0_22
Sun Hotspot 1.6.0_20
Oracle BEA JRockit 1.5
Oracle BEA JRockit 1.6
IBM JDK 1.5
IBM JDK 1.6
Custom/DSO Usage
  • In addition to the ability to integrate Terracotta via standard application libraries (Ehcache, Quartz and Web Sessions), Terracotta also supports a Custom/DSO (Distributed Shared Objects) integration mode. Custom/DSO provides support for additional advanced use cases via lower level JVM-level data type clustering. It is typically only used for direct JVM-level POJO clustering (without using Ehcache), or uses cases that combine Ehcache with explicit DSO clustering of other data types in a single application, or when using Ehcache in non-serialized identity mode.
  • For more information on integration and installation modes, see our Product Documentation.
  • Custom/DSO usage is only supported with the Sun Hotspot JDK - as it relies on a JDK specific boot-jar for byte-code manipulation. Additionally, Websphere is not support with Custom/DSO usage.

Client Containers

Container Version
Apache Tomcat 6.0.20
Apache Tomcat 5.5.27
Apache Tomcat 5.0.28

* Indicates - supported for Ehcache, Quartz, but not Web Sessions. Contact to info@terracotta.org for availability.

Server Information

The Terracotta server is a process that runs directly in a JVM. It has been tested on the following OS with Sun Hotspot JDKs (1.5 and 1.6)

  • Solaris 10(SPARC)
  • Solaris 9(SPARC)
  • RedHat ES4
  • RedHat ES5
  • SUSE ES 10.1 32 and 64 bit
  • Windows Server 2003 R2
  • Windows XP (dev only)

If you are using Sun SPARC, see the SPARC section of the Troubleshooting Guide.

The concurrent mark sweep garbage collector, also known as CMS collector, is not supported.
