<h1>System Requirements</h1>
<p>
Apache Cocoon requires the following systems to be already installed in your system:
</p>
<p>
<strong>Java Virtual Machine</strong>
A Java 1.3 or later compatible virtual machine must be present for both
command line and servlet type usage of Apache Cocoon. Note that all servlet engines
require a JVM to run so if you are already using servlets you already have
one installed.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Servlet Engine</strong>
A Servlet 2.3 compliant servlet engine must be present in order to support
servlet operation and dynamic request handling. Note that this requirement
is optional for command line operation. Note also that Cocoon now ships
with a stripped down version of Jetty suitable for immediately testing
with no further downloads.
</p>
<p>When the time comes to run your Cocoon application in a full featured
servlet container, you may want to consider the following Open Source
options:</p>
<ol>
<li>The Apache Tomcat project
<a class="external" href="http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/">http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/</a>
</li>
<li>The full version of Jetty
<a class="external" href="http://jetty.mortbay.org/">http://jetty.mortbay.org/</a>
</li>
</ol>
