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

[Arash Kaffamanesh]

Hallo Georg,

Thasn you for the hints, I'd set already compress="flase" like this in the
build.xml file:

<jar
jarfile="${opencms.output.jars}/opencms.jar"
basedir="${opencms.output.classes}"
includes="org/opencms/**"
compress="false" >
<metainf dir="${opencms.input.warfiles}/WEB-INF" includes="opencms.tld"/>
</jar>

JAVA_HOME was set to (IBM or SUN) JDK 1.4 and I've rebuilded the whole dist
with:

ant -lib webapp/WEB-INF/lib/ bindist

But it didn't help!

How did you build the opencms 6.2.0 src?

Could you please advice?

Beside these 6.2 specific issues, the installation with 6.0.4 which was
successful has some other serious problems, like the advanced property
dialog, which prevents me to set certain properties like export to true for
static export, so I can't use the static export feature with WebSphere. What
I did was to set the properties on the root folders of the sites in tomcat
and reimport the sites into webshpere, so that I could run the static export
but it hang in the middle of staticexport process.

I think we should use the Xcerces and Jakarta-oro packages delivered with
the opencms dist instead of those delivered with IBM WebSphere.

Thanks again,
Arash

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
