Coexistence, as it applies to WebSphere Application Server products, is the ability of multiple installations of WebSphere Application Server to run on the same machine at the same time. Multiple installations include multiple versions and multiple instances of one version. Coexistence also implies various combinations of Web server interaction.
All combinations of V4.x products, V5.x products, and V6.0 products can coexist so long as there are no port conflicts.
