 Hi,

i am trying to upgrade CLM 6.0.1 to CLM 6.0.3 version. I am using Win Server 2008 Enterprise SE, and IBM WAS 8.5.5.10 (latest fixpack). I installed Java SDK version 7.1.3.40, and IBM WAS service won't start anymore.

The message is:

SRVE8000W: Skipped class that failed to initialize for annotation scanning.
                                 java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: JVMCFRE003 bad major version; 

I tried to install Java SDK 8, but it requires Win Server 2012. 
Can someone please recommend me which Java version I can use for my current environment, or how to solve the problem.

Thanks,
Milan

It sounds like you installed the SDK outside of WAS, which is strange. WAS has its own bundled SDK, of version 6 or 7 depending on your choice. Can you please explain how you "installed Java SDK version 7.1.3.40"?

Please check if you have switched WAS profile to use Java 7.0 SDK following https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSWLGF_8.5.5/com.ibm.sr.doc/twsr_java17.html.
