  • 1.  Upgrading from WAS 6.1 to WAS 8.0

    Posted Fri July 05, 2013 08:19 AM
    Hi,

    Regarding Websphere Upgrade: We are upgrading our application from WAS 6.1 to WAS 8.0.


     

    I am trying to deploy the .ear file using websphere 8.0 application server admin console.

     

    I am getting the below exception.

     

    com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.exception.WebAppNotLoadedException: Failed to load webapp: javax/servlet/jsp/JspApplicationContext.getExpressionFactory()Ljavax/el/ExpressionFactory;


    I had searched in google, found the below link.( This link explains about our issue -WebSphere 8: el-api.jar (in app) conflicts with javax.j2ee.el.jar (in WS)).But there is no solution available in that link.

     


     

    Could you please check it once and advise us how to proceed further.

    Try removing el-api.jar from your ear file. Looks like both the jar file are using same class and hence websphere is failing to load duplicate classes. Hope it helps.
