What version of Java does WebSphere use?

The default Java version for IBM WebSphere 8 is Version 1.6. If your Java version is lower, then you must set it to Version 1.6, as explained in the following section. In the WebSphere Administrative Console, expand the Servers and Server Types node.

What is an alternative to WebSphere Application Server?

Apache Tomcat, JBoss, Websphere Liberty, NGINX, and Apache HTTP Server are the most popular alternatives and competitors to Websphere.

The WebSphere Infocenter indicates that the right way to change to an alternative JSF implementation is to create a WebSphere Shared Library with the isolated classloader option enabled.

Any modules that need JSF 2 would be associated with the new shared library, and then the application would start with JSF 2 instead of JSF 1.2.

It is also necessary to have fix pack 7.0.0.19 or later installed.
