How to configure Oracle JDK for Websphere?

Question

I want to integrate Oracle's JDK with IBM WebSphere Application Server instead of the default installed IBM JDK. If possible, how to do I configure WebSphere so that it makes use of Oracle JDK?

Answer 1

It is not supported. You have to use Java that comes with WebSphere Application Server. Oracle Java is only supported for WebSphere Liberty profile. However since WAS 8.5.5 you can either use IBM Java SDK 6 or IBM Java SDK 7.
