# Codehaus Cargo : WebSphere 9.x

Created by S. Ali Tokmen, last modified on Jan 02, 2026

This page has been automatically generated by Cargo's build. Do not edit it directly as it'll be overwritten next time it's generated again.

The WebSphere container does not support WebSphere Application Server Community Edition, please prefer to use the "full" WebSphere package or WebSphere Application Server for Developers.

### Supported Configuration properties

The tables below list both the general configuration properties as well as the container-specific ones.

#### Standalone Local Configuration Properties

Though the WebSphere container supports standalone local configurations, it is recommended for you to prefer using WebSphere with an existing local configuration; i.e. a WebSphere profile you would create beforehand using WebSphere's setup commands and then use that with Codehaus Cargo.
