Seam 3 and Websphere 6.1

[gonzalad]

Hello,

Does Seam 3 runs on Websphere 6.1 ?

Do you plan to support Websphere 6.1 ?

Thanks !

P.S. I've just tried JSF 2 and WAS 6.1 on a little sample (no JSP !), it works fine.

As long as they CDI support we'll support it.  I don't know where CDI support is on their roadmap.

CDI support is targeted for Websphere 8 (Java EE 6 support).

But in my company, we won't be having anytime soon Websphere 8 available.

So, we need at least to add cdi / jsf2 / ... jars to Websphere 6.1 (J2EE 1.4 appserver) to use it with weld.

I was more thinking about something like Tomcat level support for Websphere 6.1 (at the servlet level).

WDYT ?

I think you'll probably need at least a Servlet 2.5 container. You're welcome to create a JIRA and see we'll see how many votes in receives.

I would recommend you try deploying an application with weld-servlet, which is part of the Weld download.  The documentation describes using it with Tomcat or Jetty, but I imagine it should be similar for Websphere:

http://docs.jboss.org/weld/reference/1.1.0.Final/en-US/html/environments.html#d0e5221

Thanks both of you !

I'll update this thread in a day or two - when I have more news (I'll try RF 4 and Seam 3).

For the moment, weld requires JVM 1.6 or more and cannot work on Websphere 6.1.

Websphere 6.1 uses IBM JVM 1.5.

When running weld-servlet, I have the following stackTrace :
