Hi,

I just installed Websphere 8.5.4 on my laptop and was looking forward to using jodd with an upcoming project. Unfortunately nothing I install in Websphere will run. I installed Uphea. It installed successfully, however it fails with a Bad Class version Exception error and a Null Pointer Exception.

The same war file works successfully on Tomcat 6 and GlassFish 4.1

Any Suggestions.

Hi there!

Bad class version usually means that your class files (from the war) have been compiled to target newer version of java from the version your app server supports.

As far as I remember at this point, Websphere 8.5 works with java6? And uphea war may be built with java7 :) Hence the issue.

To resolve this, you would need to rebuild uphea to java 6, although I am not sure if this is possible (since we are using some java7 syntax)...

Anyway, current version of uphea example is bit old (we haven't upgraded yet;), so you might try instead simple quickstarters (see github repo). These examples are very simple comparing to uphea, but at least you can start to play with it on websphere ;)
