Juergen Hoeller commented

Vijendra, which version of WAS are you on? WebSphere 6.1 on JDK 5, by any chance?

In any case, this seems like an accidental backport from Spring 4.0 where we require JDK 6. We'll restore Java 5 compatibility in time for the 3.2.7 release there.

Hi Juergen

We are using WAS 6.1 on JDK 5. Please suggest how we can work on this with the existing version 3.2.7 of spring.

Thanks
Vijendra

Juergen Hoeller commented

I'll fix this right away. I'll let you know once a new snapshot build of 3.2.7 is available, containing the fix.

Vijendra Kulhade commented

Thank a lot Juergen. Really appreciate your help.

[spring-projects-issues]

Juergen Hoeller commented

Fixed now in the 3.2.x branch, through removing the accidental StAX code backport that sneaked into 3.2.5's SourceHttpMessageConverter.

The next 3.2.7 snapshot will contain the fix. I'll ping you once the snapshot got published.

Juergen Hoeller commented

The corresponding 3.2.7 snapshot (#387) is available now. Please give it a try and let me know whether it restores WebSphere 6.1 compatibility for you... and if that part works out, let's see whether the getenv property works as intended.

Vijendra Kulhade commented

Hi Juergen,

That error is resolved but now getting below exception.

this works fine in Tomcat Servers as this class comes in it from el-api.jar. But for WAS 6.1 it is giving error.

E [Servlet Error]-[javax.el.ValueExpression]: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax.el.ValueExpression

Please see if it can be added in the build.

[spring-projects-issues]

Juergen Hoeller commented

So that javax.el.ValueExpression error is new in 3.2.7 as well? Or have you seen that before?

We don't have any direct references on javax.el.ValueExpression in the codebase, so this probably comes in indirectly. Do you have a stacktrace or a specific class that is being loaded there, which indirectly depends on javax.el.ValueExpression?

Juergen

[spring-projects-issues]

Juergen Hoeller commented

You could also simply add the javax.el API jar to your application classpath; it won't do any harm.

Spring itself doesn't depend on javax.el, but some involved library (which you may have upgraded along with Spring) maybe does. In any case, adding the el jar to the classpath might be sufficient.

Juergen

[spring-projects-issues]

Juergen Hoeller commented

Actually, there are just a few related libraries depending on javax.el: JSF, the JSTL tag library, and in an optional form also Tiles and FreeMarker. If you're using any of those, you may stay on the versions that you've been using before; upgrading to Spring 3.2.7 should work fine against those older versions as well.

Any update on this, Vijendra? Can we help you in any further way?

Hi Juergen,

This is resolved in the next Build. Please close the defect.
Thanks again for quick turn around.

Thanks

Juergen Hoeller commented

That's great to hear!

Now that the framework starts up fine again, does the getenv system property (#15921) work for you as well?
