Thanks, Rob. Are you using straight non-proprietary JMS in your implementation? Right now we have an app in WL6.1 running JMS w/ all JNDI to get the necessary objects. Not a good situation indeed if this would be broken by the upgrade. I understand 5.3 includes the Java / JMS classes on install and will overwrite MA88. Could be a reason not to go to 5.3 without a fix - will have to test that.

Rob [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, August 13, 2002 10:04 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: JMS Under non-Websphere app server Heads-up listers... We have an application using Weblogic and running JMS. When we upgraded to the latest MA88 Support pack, the application broke with the following error: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/ibm/ras/RASLogger at com.ibm.mq.jms.services.Trace.checkForTurnTracingOn(Compiled Code) at com.ibm.mq.jms.MQQueueReceiver.receive(Compiled Code) at com.bofasecurities.adpConduit.requestReply.ReplyThread.run(Compiled Code) It turns out IBM added features specific to Websphere into their j521 release of JMS. They recommended either switching to Websphere or going back to the old version of MA88. Their exact reply is pasted in below. Just thought those of you running JMS under an app server would want a heads-up on this issue before you upgraded MA88 -- T.Rob ======== From IBM Second-Level MQ Support ============================================ I believe that JMS is checking to see if it is running inside an application server. It detects that it is and assumes it is Websphere (as this is the only tested/supported environment). It checks to see if tracing has been turned on, which needs websphere RASLogger class, and can't find the correct class. This is because it is running in Weblogic. This functionality has been added to ma88 j521. We cannot support this running in Weblogic. All I can suggest is that if j520 worked then stick with that level. The customer could try raising a DCR for this problem but I'm not sure what would happen. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- I will include the DesignChangeRequest (DCR) form in case you are interested in making a request to the developers to have the class added to MA88 or some other way of addressing this problem. If you are interested, please complete the attached form and return it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and we can pass it along to the development team.
