A workaround is required to run applications from IBM Business Developer 10 on Tomcat 9 and earlier versions, and WebSphere Application Server(WAS).
Environment:
IBM Business Developer 10
Reason:
The upgrade from Java 8 to Java 17 in IBD 10 has required the adoption of Jakarta EE as the default web platform instead of Java EE (Javax). Tomcat 9 and older and WAS do not support Jakarta, and WAS requires Java 8.
Resolution:
IBD 10 provides the EGL runtime jars required to support Tomcat 9 and WAS. These will need to be manually copied into the web projects that run on Tomcat 9 and WAS.
- Locate the jars in the directory IBMIMShared\plugins\com.ibm.etools.egl.java.runtime_8.0.0.202603021646\legacy
- Copy the required jars to the WEB-INF/lib folder of the target web project
- fda7.jar is required for all cases
- If you are running VAGEN Web Applications, copy the jars hpt.jar, hptGateway.jar and vgjwgs.jar
