Can I use Java 1.6 with WebSphere Application Server 6.1? IBM's website says no. But I require Java 1.6 for a software application to be deployed and I cannot currently upgrade to Websphere 7.0, or use a different application server (WAS 6.1 is the org standard). what are my options? Thanks.

Since websphere 6.1 does not support J2SE 6, your options are very limited. option 1 <ul> <li>Talk to your upper management & convince them the need to switch to WAS 7.0</li> </ul> option 2 <ul> <li>Downgrade your code compatibility to 1.5 and compile for J2SE 5.0 </li> </ul> option 3 <ul> <li>If you have a support contract with IBM, open a high priority ticket for getting 1.6 support on WAS 6.1</li> </ul>

Nobody can stop you from trying to run WAS 6.1 with Java 6 but this configuration IS NOT SUPPORTED by IBM and according to this thread, I'm not even sure you'll be able to start WAS.

option 1

Talk to your upper management & convince them the need to switch to WAS 7.0

option 2

Downgrade your code compatibility to 1.5 and compile for J2SE 5.0

option 3

If you have a support contract with IBM, open a high priority ticket for getting 1.6 support on WAS 6.1
