### Solaris Patches

Solaris 8 users must have the Sun recommended patch cluster installed, available under “Recommended and Security Patches” at this location: `http://sunsolve.sun.com/`

Patches that are absolutely required for Solaris 8 are 109326-06, 108993-23, and 110934 (any revision, for package based installation only). Without these patches, which the installer checks for, you won’t be able to install or run the Sun Java System Application Server software. These patches are already contained in the latest recommended patch cluster.

### Solaris x86 Limitations

- Sun Java System Studio plug-in—The Sun Java Studio Plug-in is not part of this release because Sun Java Studio is not available on the Solaris x86 platform.

- Solaris support—The Solaris x86 release is only supported on Solaris 9, Update 2 onward, not on any earlier version of Solaris.

- The Java™ Smart Ticket Sample Application does not work on the Solaris x86 platform. The sample requires the Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition Wireless Toolkit (v1.0.4), which is not available for Solaris 9, x86.
