Starting IBM Websphere in Eclipse Mars, always gives this error:

An internal error occurred during: "Publishing to FrontServer...".
Could not initialize class com.ibm.ws.ffdc.FFDCFilter

I'm using Websphere Version 7.0

Any idea how to resolve this?

Thanks!

    Try to run Eclipse with IBM JVM. Change it in eclipse.ini. – Gas Feb 15 '17 at 11:35
  • Yes, I tried that. It doesn't work. – Sanchit Khera Feb 16 '17 at 06:43
  • So what is your entry in eclipse.ini and which IBM JVM version you did try? – Gas Feb 16 '17 at 11:07
  • I had added this entry in eclipse.ini file "-vm C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\java\jre\bin\javaw.exe", restarted eclipse and server, but was still getting same error. IBM JVM version is 1.6 – Sanchit Khera Feb 17 '17 at 02:27
  • Try to add IBM's sdk to "installed JREs" and check as default in preferences. Also make sure you are using WebSphere traditional server adapter not Liberty. – Gas Feb 17 '17 at 08:51
  • I already have these two things done. IBM's sdk is marked default and I'm using traditional adapter. – Sanchit Khera Feb 17 '17 at 12:44

There are some solutions, like upgrading Eclipse, changing to IBM JRE etc.

But the issue is related to the ORB jar that is missing.

The FFDCFilter error can be solved as described in "RMI Connection Type" found in this technote IBM Support page - swg21999577

The com.ibm.ws.orb_X jar is missing and that causes the FFDCFilter issue. It is the result of using the non-IBM JDK. The reason why this jar is not included as part of WDT is because this jar conflicts with the IBM JDK case.

Solution

  1. copy the orb jar, I think your version might be com.ibm.ws.orb_7.0.0.jar (look in your AppServer folder) to e.g. c:\lib

  2. Add the following line at end of your eclipse.ini -Djava.endorsed.dirs=C:\lib

(You could also copy the orb jar into your java jre endorsed library folder.)

See IBM Documentation with more information.

It is a known problem and is caused because the non-IBM JRE is missing certain classes. To work around this problem:

  1. Go to /runtimes/com.ibm.ws.orb_VERSION.jar check jar is exist OR go to /lib/com.ibm.ws.orb_VERSION.jar check jar is exist where is the jar exist we have to copy the path
  2. Add the following line in eclipse.ini:
-Djava.endorsed.dirs=<the directory where 
        com.ibm.ws.orb_VERSION.jar was copied to in step 1>

My solution its basic and works for me. Close eclipse and reopen it.

Here are the steps for resolution. Go into IBM Web Sphere runtimes directory . Copy the orb jar the version suffix will state your WebShphere Version. Create a folder in your choice of drive and and copy the file .In my case it is C:\IBMJars\lib Go Into eclipse installation folder and right above the eclipse.exe file open up the ini file in notepad and add the command at the end of the file. -Djava.endorsed.dirs=C:\IBMJars\lib Restart eclipse and you should be good to go.
