[opencms-dev] Re: OpenCms 6.2 Installation on WebSphere 6.0

[Georg Raffer]

Hallo Arash,

We are currently using opencms 6.2 with Websphere 6.0.0.1

It is true that the current opencms.war file is not (IBM) java 1.4 
compatible. There are several issues:

* the IBM JRE cannot read resources (e.g. xsd) from the compressed jar 
files compiled with java 5 (don't ask me why);  changing the build.xml 
(<jar compress="false") helps.
* But even if the ant javac tasks use the attributes source="1.4" and 
target="1.4" the compiled code is not 100% 1.4 compatible; There is 
still a problem with the photoalbum module; compiled code uses the 
method: StringBuffer.append(CharSequence s). this definitly method 
belongs to Java 5;

Build the opencms.war file with ant using a Java 1.4 compiler; checking 
out sources & building with ant is described in:
http://www.opencms.org/opencms/en/development/core.html


Today I have installed opencms.war (build with ant & java 1.4.2) 
successfully on Websphere 6.0
But we have still problems with the advanced properties dialog (redirect 
/ forward ...); If you have a solution for that please let me know.

bye, Georg
