Micro Focus Tomcat non-transactional support includes servlet generation with J2SE Beans; no transactional support is provided. Tomcat does not support the use of Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs) or resource adapters (RAs). ² Java EE 7, including support for EJB 3.2 and Java Connector Architecture 1.7, is supported for the deployment of EJBs generated using the Interface Mapping Toolkit .

Please consult your Application Server documentation to determine which JDK you should use. The JDK is used to :

Start the Application Server
Compile EJBs and Servlets generated by the Interface Mapping Toolkit or the imtkmake command
