dscc and WebSphere

I know dscc is supported by Sun AS and Tomcat. But I am not familiar with those. Just wondering if I can install it on WebSphere.

At Sun, we are not very familiar with WebSphere ;-)

This has not been tested and it is not a supported configuration. But it may work... If you do manage to make it work, let us know here and how... And I will try to get it officially for the next release.

Regards,

Ludovic.

I will test deploying dscc on WebSphere and will let you know.

By the way, I have successfully deployed Directory Editor in WebSphere 5.1, with minor problem to shutdown the service. I have to manually kill the process. It is complaining about the permission. Maybe I need to investigate on that as well.

DSCC requires additional permissions than usual apps. This may be one issue you will face. Also, make sure that tag pooling is disabled.

Just finished installing dscc in WebSphere 5.1. However, I can't get the login page. In the log, it shows one basic java error:

[16/07/07 15:50:37:474 EDT] 1813c12 WebGroupI SRVE0181I: [dscc.war] [/] [Servlet.LOG]: [ERROR] Uncaught application exception: com.iplanet.jato.NavigationException: Exception encountered during forward

Root cause = [java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1]

And,

1) I have added the permission line to was.policy, instead server.policy, since I could not locate that file.

2) I havn't disabled the tag pooling yet since I have never heard about that in WebSphere. I need look into that.

Thanks!

DSCC6.1 is not working on WebSphere. I can't get to the login page with some errors in the log file. I guess WebSphere is using different lib from Sun AS server.

Now I am coming back to Sun AS 8.2 with a successful installation. Everything works smooth here.

Thanks Ludovic!

The requirements for DSCC are JSP 1.2 and Servlet 2.3 and makes use of JNDI which is a Java extension available in Sun JVM 1.4 and higher... I think the minimal version is 1.4.2 although 1.5 is recommended.

I tested on WebSphere 5.1.1.3, which supports jsp 1.2, Servlet 2.3 and java 1.4.2.
