Third Party Systems
Jahia relies on several third party systems:
- a Servlet container (by default Apache Tomcat - However Jahia was developed from a very vendor-neutral manner and can be used with other J2EE servers)
- a Database (standard JDBC connection - scripts are already provided with most of the existing free or commercial relational databases)
- an access to the File System (Jahia stores all the large texts or the configuration files directly on the file system
Other systems are optional such as:
- a LDAP server for single sign-on purpose(Jahia supports LDAP connections for users and groups )
- a front-end web server (typically an Apache Web server to be able to use other technology than Java (mod_perl; mod_php;..) and to be able to dynamically rewrite the Jahia urls (urls simplification with mod_jk and mod_rewrite))
