WebSphere Portal 9 SDK Issue

[Syed Imtiaz]

Dear All,

How are you guys doing. Please let know if any one gone through the issue described below.

WAS 9.0.0.6
Portal 9 with SDK 8.0.5.7 (jdk1.8.0_151) SIT to production all have the same configuration. Provided all apps with jdk1.8.0_20 and new theme for 8.5. Everything was good and no issues identified.

OS rebooted in SIT and other servers and it started to give

DispatcherServiceImpl handleRequest EJPFD0066E: the dispatcher call to template/themes/html/Default.jsp failed. javax.servlet.UnavailableException: CWSRV0203E: Servlet [themes/html/Default.jsp]: com.ibm._jsp_Default was found, but is missing another required class.
CWSRV0206E: This error typically implies that the servlet was originally compiled with classes which cannot be located by the server.
CWSRV0187E: Check your class path to ensure that all classes required by the servlet are present. CWSRV0210I: This provlem can be debugged by recompiling the servlet using only the classes in the applications runtime class path.

Once the SDK is downgraded to 8.0.4.11 and until 8.0.5.5 with OS reboot and server start, server is up and theme and applications running fine. Only when moving to recommended latest SDK 8.0.5.7 and reboot of OS this issue is coming and theme is not getting rendered and loading blank page.

Regards,
Imtiaz Basha Syed.

Imtiaz,

Looks like issue is while server starts so can suspect on compile time rather than runtime. Check servlet version in both java versions and if they are different you need to open PMR with IBM. Incase if servlet version is same you need to recompile themes including all required jars with same java version and export to server. Take back up before you do any anything!

Dear Ravi,

The custom theme which I am using do not have any java classes and utility classes being invoked from theme's JSP is the dependency is coming from a shared custom jar which is build in java 8 and configured in server.

I will check the servlet versions though. So, please let me know in detail about what you exactly meant by recompiling themes (u mean default portal 9 themes or my custom theme)?
Note: my all custom jars, wars and ears are built in java 1.8.0_20 and the server is running 1.8.0_151 and above. so, lower version builds shouldn't be problem with higher version JREs. Rest I am not sure how product and its default themes are behaving. If you have detailed steps that would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Imtiaz,

I meant your custom theme would definitely depends on some OOB jars/tlds!etc even if you don’t write anything and those needs to be recompile with new java version you’re using it.

I don’t have any reference links but I see most of the issues with servlet versions these days because of new jres.
