WebSphere Application Server 6.1 support for Java 1.6?

Question

Can I use Java 1.6 with WebSphere Application Server 6.1? IBM's website says no .

But I require Java 1.6 for a software application to be deployed and I cannot currently upgrade to Websphere 7.0, or use a different application server (WAS 6.1 is the org standard).

what are my options?

Thanks.

Answer 1

没有人可以阻止你尝试使用Java 6运行WAS 6.1，但这种配置不受IBM的支持，根据这个帖子 ，我甚至不确定你是否能够启动WAS。

Answer 2

Since websphere 6.1 does not support J2SE 6, your options are very limited.

option 1

• Talk to your upper management & convince them the need to switch to WAS 7.0

option 2

• Downgrade your code compatibility to 1.5 and compile for J2SE 5.0

option 3

• If you have a support contract with IBM, open a high priority ticket for getting 1.6 support on WAS 6.1
