I am using WebSphere application server 5.1 in RAD 7.1. Now I want to migrate to RAD 8.0 but RAD 8.0 do not provide support to WebSphere application server 5.X. Please help on this
WebSphere Application Server 5.1 is not supported for many years now and as you saw it is also not supported in any newer RAD. I'd suggest to migrate to newer server version as soon as possible.
If you need to develop for WAS 5.1, then stick with RAD 7. Eventually you can develop with newer RAD, but you will need to install applications to server manually via web console or wsadmin.

can someone help me, I'm trying to work with Websphere Application Server 9.0 but I need to work on IBM Rational Application Developer IDE for the use of sqlj. I tried to install IBM Rational Application Developer IDE version 8.0 but Websphere Application Server 9.0 is not supported with this IDE. Do I need to install IBM Rational Application Developer 9.0 IDE to work with Websphere Application Server 9.0? Or is there any other IDE that supports Websphere Application Server 9.0 and sqlj scripts both.
According this IBM KnowledgeCenter for IBM Rational Application Developer for WebSphere, it looks like RAD v9.6 is the lowest version to support Websphere Application Server 9.0.
I've to add a runtime of websphere 5.1 on my RAD 7.5.4, but I can only add runtime of websphere version 6, 6.1 or 7.
There is anyway to install ws 5.1 in my config?
Thanks
I guess you are out of luck. WAS 5.1 is pretty outdated. It is already unsupported since 2008.
You could try getting an older RAD, but I'd guess IBM probably removed the older downloads as they are unsupported as well.
Has anyone successfully configured WebSphere Commerce Developer 6.0 to use WAS 6.1 and RAD 7.0?
I'm working on a site implemented with IBM WebSphere Commerce Developer 6.0. In production the site runs on WebSphere Application Server 6.1, which is officially supported. We'd like to run our local developer environments on WAS 6.1 as well, but the migration instructions cover only stand-alone servers. Commerce Developer is limited to WAS 6.0 according to the documentation below:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wchelp/v6r0m0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.commerce.admin.doc%2Ftasks%2Ftmgwas61.htm
We're hoping to be able to leverage Java 5 support and other features of WAS 6.1 while staying on WebSphere Commerce Developer 6.0. We have some portions of the code developed using Java 5, but currently we have to deploy this code to a stand-alone server to test, which is less than ideal.
Nope.. can't be done. The issue is that the runtime and tooling is all linked together.
I've been asked to get a web application running in WebSphere using RAD 8.0.1, which isn't my usual app.server or development environment.
I'm starting off simple, using the default Ajax Test Server, but from what I can see, the default for a Dynamic Web Application is Servlets 2.5. Is there something buried in the twisty little maze of config dialogs to set it to Servlets 3.0, or must I handle that manually?
IBM Websphere Application Server 8.0 supports Servlet 3.0
IBM Websphere Application Server versions 7.0 and 6.1 do not support it.
So you need to use version 8.0. If you are using Websphere Portal, then you have a problem.
IBM Websphere Portal runs on same version Application Server (though you can for instance run Portal 6.1 on WAS 7 - I ran into some problems with AJAX though). So you might be able to get Portal 7 to run on WAS 8. It's the only way in the short term.
What is the run-time environment that you use?
WebSphere 7.x does not support Servlets 3.0 and it would be supported only by WebSphere 8.0.
WebSphere 8.0 is still in beta.
Interestingly, wikipedia is a good site for the list of supported APIs by WAS.

I don't have a RAD 8 handy with me to assist but i would check and ensure that the run-time associated with the project does support Java EE 6 (and Servlets 3.0)

Websphere Application Server 7 can support servlets 3.0 if you installed Fix Pack 7.0.0.37 or later.
That shall upgrade JDK from 1.5.x to 1.6.x. Also you need to install WebSphere Application Server V7 Feature Pack for Web 2.0 and Mobile V1.1
Yesterday, I've downloaded and install the free trial version of WAS v7. The version I've downloaded is 7.0.0.9 but I need to certify my application against 7.0.0.3.
Where can I get this version?
UPDATED: It turns out that what I really needed was WebSphere Application Server for Developpers
It's working!
Now it can be downloaded from HERE
This link provides a Windows or Linux version of WebSphere 7.0.0.0 for development testing.
WebSphere Application Server for Developers V7
This link provides Fix Pack 3 for Windows (a Linux version of the fix pack is also available.)
