  • 1.  websphere version 8.5

    Hello,

    Excuse my English, we're a company in Switzerland using WebSphere. We are required to upgrade to Spring Version 5. But there seems to be a problem with javx.validation version 1.1.0 running with Spring. It doesn't seem to match what's on WebSphere. Is there a way to upgrade/tweak it so we can connect?

    Thanks

    Hello Maxime, a summary is available here: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6612943

    Spring Framework 5.x and Spring Boot 2.x require an application server supporting Java EE 7.  WebSphere Application Server traditional in 9.0.5, WebSphere Liberty, and Open Liberty all support a minimum of Java EE 7, so they  are compatible with these spring versions
    • WebSphere Application Server traditional in 8.5.5 does NOT support Java EE 7 , so it is NOT compatible with these Spring versions

    Hi Maxime,
    as Eric mentioned, you cannot use Spring v5 on WAS 8.5.
    If you are interested to analyze what has to be changed in your application to run on WAS v9 or Liberty, you could use the free of charge binaryScanner:
    Migration Toolkit for Application Binaries (ibm.com)
    You can also use the IBM Transformation Advisor if you want to get a more details assessment of your application:
    IBM Cloud Transformation Advisor - IBM Garage Practices

    If you want, we can also set up a web conference to discuss your options and how IBM can help.

    Please contact me if you are interested in.
    Lars
