Well, any answer from me on the first question would be pure speculation but as far as sending in a DCR, I would encourage people impacted by this to follow up with IBM. We certainly are.

I don't recall IBM saying anything about dropping support for other app servers when we purchased MQ. Maybe if all of us send in a DCR for the same change it will get noticed? I would be happy to participate in any lobbying efforts. For the record, we are also running Weblogic server. Regards, Chris "Wyatt, T.

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.
