The current Websphere Portal 8.5 Connector doesn’t support Java 7 applications.

WebSphere Portal 8.5 however supports Java 7.

Could you please fix the connector?

Kind regards

Hi,

Websphere Portal Server 8.5 ships with Java 1.6 by default.

Can you please recheck the version of Java in your Websphere Portal Server installation ? You can check from the Websphere console to see which version of Java is set.

Also check if the Window/ Prefs/Java/Installed JREs is pointing to the JDK that is shipped with WPS.

If you are still seeing issues, please share with us the exact version of Websphere Portal Server along with the exact error you are seeing with the connector in MyEclipse. If possible, please attach a screenshot of the issue to help us get a visual. Please also share the MyEclipse Build Id from Help > About section.

Hi swapna

As soon as the applications project capability is changed from Java 1.6 to Java 1.7 the WebSphere Portal Runtime disappears.

I added two screenshots showing the capabilities and one showing the used JRE / JDK.

One screenshot shows the installs WAS JDKs. The 1.7 was default for us. The installation manual lists java 1.7 as an installation requirement for Portal: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSYJ99_8.5.0/dd/dd_express.dita?lang=en (CIYW1ML IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition V7.0.6.1 Multiplatform Multilingual IMPORTANT: All parts of this image (Setup, Install, WAS ND, SDK) must be extracted into the same directory to create an installable image. )

It seems like there is also a 1.6 JRE present wich is consumed by MyEclipse. Switching that to the correct one seems to help. MyEclipse should however directly load the default 1.7 jdk.

As requested I’m adding the Portal, WAS, JDK installation details.

I just updated MyEclipse to:
Version: 2015 CI 12
Build id: 13.0.0-20150323

Thanks for the war-fix.

Kind regards

Hi,

Thank you for the screenshots.

Can you please clarify if you have manually configured the Java 7 JRE from the WPS installation in the Installed JREs section ?

Once you have configured the Java 7 JRE, you should then edit the WPS 8.5 server runtime and set it to point to the newly configured JDK.

Let us know how it works for you.

Hi swapna

after manually changing the JRE to 1.7. Deployment to the Portal is offered now.

Kind regards
