But i need to work on java 1.8 which is already installed but server jre is not there default java 1.7 is there my question is how to add or upgrade Java 1.8 in web sphere

when i tried to run the server its showing below error:

WebSphere Application Server error WebSphere Application Server error

The xxxxxx project is built with Java SDK 8, which is not compatible with the server running at Java SDK 7. Try publishing the application on a later version of WebSphere Application Server. Or try increasing the JRE of the server, if you are using WebSphere Application Server V8.5. The xxxx project is built with Java SDK 1.8, which is not compatible with the server running at Java SDK 7. Try publishing the application on a later version of WebSphere Application Server.

Java 8 is only supported by WebSphere Liberty 8.5.5.6. If you use the WebSphere Application Server Full Profile, only Java 7 and 6 are supported.

    @saideshkilaru WebSphere Application Server (traditional aka full) and WebSphere Liberty Profile are two different runtimes. They are since 8.5, so it is not new in 8.5.5.6. Liberty is new lightweight runtime, but it doesn't support all the features of traditional WAS. If you have existing WAS full environment you cannot use Java 8 now (probably in next major release). If you are creating new environment, then you can use WebSphere Liberty Profile, it is available for download either through passport advantage or via http://wasdev.net/ – Gas Jul 30 '15 at 09:08
  • WebSphere Liberty is a different product (it has just the same version). Have a look at https://developer.ibm.com/wasdev/ for the Liberty profile. You can install both products at the same time. There is no possibility to add Java 8 to WAS itself. – dunni Jul 30 '15 at 09:09
  • i downloaded https://developer.ibm.com/wasdev/downloads/#asset/runtimes-8.5.5-webprofile7-ibm-java this version but unable to find exe file to install any help? – saidesh kilaru Aug 03 '15 at 07:32
  • There is no exe file. Just download the ZIP and unpack it. You don't have to install WebSphere Liberty. – dunni Aug 03 '15 at 09:49
  • no need to install? then how can i work with that in eclipse how can i add a server with jav 8 jre please help me. – saidesh kilaru Aug 03 '15 at 11:37
  • while defining a server in eclipse using was 8 pluginn it will ask for installation directory of was r8? i tried giving D:\Softwares\wlp-webProfile7-java8-win-x86_64-8.5.5.6\wlp path but its giving an error like "The WebSphere Application Server installation directory is not correct" – saidesh kilaru Aug 03 '15 at 11:43
  • I don't use Eclipse, but as far as i know, for WebSphere Liberty you have to install separate Developer Tools. So go to the Eclipse Marketplace, and search for Liberty. – dunni Aug 03 '15 at 15:22
  • Also might be worth reviewing this slideshare deck and transcript on what WAS Liberty is: http://www.slideshare.net/wasdevnet/aai-1304liberty-profileoverview-46815723. The eclipse tooling can be installed from here: https://developer.ibm.com/wasdev/downloads/liberty-profile-using-eclipse/ You need to use a different server adapter when you create the server from WAS Classic though. – Alasdair Aug 05 '15 at 04:17

Java 8 is now available on Full WAS 8.5.5.9. It can be downloaded from here. Java 8 is only supported on these Operating Systems.

This is what I did. I hope it will help future users.

1) I upgraded to 8.5.5.10
2) Go to below page
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24042600#SDK80
and then click on first link ("Java SDK 8.0.3.0 ..." link)
3) Click to download appropriate file. (for Windows, 8.0.3.0-WS-IBMWASJAVA-Win.zip)
4) Extract the file to some location
5) Open IBM installation manager and configure the repository as above location
6) Then click on Install link on installation manager
7) Select appropriate update (IBM Java SDK for app. server)
8) Then just go further to install successfully
9) Start the server and go the below path
Application servers > server1 > Java SDKs You will see now both Java 8 as well as Java 6.
10) Select Java 8 and click on make default.
11) Restart the server.
12) Thats it

  1. Go to path where websphere is installed C:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer85\bin

  2. managesdk.bat –listAvailabl

  3. managesdk.bat -listEnabledProfile -profileName {Profile name ex - AppSrv01 } -verbose

  4. managesdk.bat -enableProfile -profileName {Profile name ex - AppSrv01 } -sdkname 1.7_32{or 1.7_64} –enableServers

  5. Close RAD (if it is open)

  6. Reopen RAD
  7. Right click the server configured with JDK 7 runtime in the servers view > Properties > WebSphere Application Server.

The JVM Version should now be at the value of sdkname (for example 1.7_64 as seen below):

  1. Publish your application in RAD
