Application Designer requires a servlet container supporting the Servlet 2.3 specification: Tomcat, IBM WebSphere, BEA Weblogic, JBoss, and others.

corresponding UNIX workstation.
Application Designer runs on browsers supporting DHTML (HTML and JavaScript) to a certain level. The browsers supporting this level are listed below:
Internet Explorer 10 and 11
Mozilla Firefox Extended Support Release 31 (1)
Google Chrome (2)
(1) Only the Extended Support Releases of Mozilla Firefox are explicitly supported. Due to frequent upgrades of the Mozilla Firefox consumer release, the compatibility of Application Designer with future versions of Mozilla Firefox cannot be fully guaranteed. Possible incompatibilities will be removed during the regular maintenance process of Application Designer.
(2) The Google Chrome support is based on Google Chrome Version 31. Due to frequent version upgrades of Google Chrome, compatibility of Application Designer with future versions of Google Chrome cannot be fully guaranteed. Possible incompatibilities will be removed during the regular maintenance process of Application Designer.
You do not have to install any further plug-ins or additional software for these browsers. For example, Application Designer does not require that any kind of Java Virtual Machine is installed on the client side.
