General

• Java VM with JDK 1.1 support or better
• Java and JavaScript must be enabled by the user
• The edit-on Pro JavaScript API will only work with OS/Browser combinations that support LiveConnect

Minimum client hardware requirements

600 MHz Intel Pentium or AMD Athlon CPU
128MB RAM

In general, hardware requirements depend very much on the platform and on the speed of the JVM implementation and the size/complexity of the documents which are edited.

Application servers supported

• Any dynamic web application server, such as Microsoft IIS, Macromedia/Allaire ColdFusion, J2EE-based servers including BEA WebLogic, IBM WebSphere, Sun iPlanet, JBoss, Apache, ZOPE, Lotus Notes/Domino etc.
• Any server-side scripting language, such as PHP, ASP, Perl, Pyton etc.

In general, every OS/browser/JavaVM combination which supports at least JDK 1.1 should work. To be able to use the JavaScript API of edit-on Pro however, the OS/browser/JavaVM combination must support "LiveConnect". "LiveConnect" means communicating between JavaScript and a Java applet within a Web browser. Please read the release notes regarding JavaScript API compatibility on certain platforms.

Please note, current Mac browsers do not support "LiveConnect". Therefore, the JavaScript API will not work on Mac OS platforms. However, in addition to JavaScript there is another way to interface (GET/POST) with the edit-on Pro applet using direct HTTP requests which also work on Mac OS.

We recommend that you always use the most recent Java VM available. Using IE under Windows it is recommended to use the Microsoft Java VM. To download the latest Java VMs please visit:
