Java7 compatibility

Currently, we are using JBOSS 4.0.5 with Java 5 in AIX 5.3. Recently, there is a need to upgrade the Java 5 to Java 7 due to end of support. But cannot locate any information regarding the compatibility of such anywhere. Would anyone be so kind to enlighten me which version of JBOSS should I upgrade to? Many thanks!

I'm looking for this Java 7 compatibility in JBOSS but seems that JBOSS 7 uses java 6 but not sure if it is compatible in java7.

That depends on your requirements.
You might use AS7 or WildFly if you have no requirement to have a supported version. But be aware that there is a bit work to do this migration . AS7 is a complete refactoring and there are some differences.
Nevertheless it will be better for the future.

If you have a short lifetime for the application you might stay with AS4 or migrate to EAP5 but for EAP5 you need to have a Red Hat subscription.
