These directions worked for WebSphere 6.1.0.15. Fundamentally the problem is the lack of JAR files in the default WebSphere CLASSPATH, or the wrong versions. Two things are neccessary to correct this problem: Adjust WebSphere application server settings Adjust Guvnor settings in WebSphere (the application specific settings) Modify the Guvnor pom.xml file to include additional classes (these classes are not included in WebSphere, so must be included in the WAR file) Adjust WebSphere AS Settings I'm not certain if these custom websphere application server settings are required, but since they are present in the working configuration, I will document them here. The custom settings, and directions on how to configure them, can be found at: http://docs.jboss.org/seam/2.0.1.GA/reference/en/html/websphere.html General instructions for setting custom properties are found at: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rss=180&uid=swg21284395 Adjust 'Guvnor' Application Specific Settings In order to ensure we get the 'right' application settings, we configure the application to load from it's own class loader first. Directions to configure this property can be found at https://zuxho14:9045/ibm/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.ws.console.appmana.... Select the "Classes loaded with application class loader first" Option. Modify Guvnor's pom.xml File The following lines need to be added to Guvnor's pom.xml before rebuilding Guvnor: <dependency> <groupId>javax.persistence</groupId> <artifactId>persistence-api</artifactId> <version>1.0</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>javax.annotation</groupId> <artifactId>jsr250-api</artifactId> <version>1.0</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId> <artifactId>hibernate-validator</artifactId> <version>3.0.0.GA</version> </dependency> This was sufficient to get Guvnor running on 2/10/08. I did not install this version of WebSphere, and do not know what other changes were made before I got here. YMMV. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. _______________________________________________ rules-users mailing list rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-users

Hi, I have one question. I am not very familiar with how Maven works, but after the changes are done in pom.xml, by re-build- does it mean that I need to have the source code checked out and then build again or will changing pom.xml in the .war file work. If we do have to re-build, is there anyway a built .war file can be put on the download site, given that similar changes are needed for both Tomcat and Web-sphere. I am unable to check the SVN out at my end due to some weird SVN errors.
