Running Primefaces Push (WebSockets) on Websphere Portal 7 - websphere-7

I'm trying to use Atmosphere Framework based Primefaces Push (with WebSockets) on WebSphere Portal 7 (running on WAS 7, which uses Java EE 5 -> Servlet 2.5). I just read that WAS 7 doesn't support WebSockets (doesn't have a WebSockets API), so I'm looking for some kind of workaround.
Is there anyone who had a similar problem and found a solution?

Websockets need at least java ee 7 container and servlet 3.1 API level. If you can switch to longpooling in your component you have a chance, otherwise not. It's not a matter of hack, your server needs to support protocol upgrade.

When the Hazelcast support Jakarta EE migration to run on Tomcat 10 web server?

Our application needs to support Tomcat 10.
We are migrating the code to Jakarka EE 9, but due to HazelCast we are blocked.
When can we expect the HazelCast jakarta EE migration??
Details:
We are evaluating to support Tomcat 10 in our product. To start it, we initially try to use Servlet 5.0 spec as Tomcat 10 supports Servlet 5.0 specification.
The Servlet 5.0 version migrated the classes to Jakarta.servlet.* from javax.servlet.. So, most of our java code have been migrated to Jakarta EE9.
But, in the middle we come to know that the HazelCast versions not compatible with Jakarta EE.
The internal classes of HazelCast still references to javax.servlet. from Servlet 3.0 specification.
So as a result, we got compile time issues as well.
Does the HazelCast compatible with Tomcat 10??

Does Wildfly 18 Supports Seam 2.3 Applications?

I want to migrate an application from Wildfly 8 to the latest Wildfly 18. The web application uses the following frameworks: hibernate 3, seam 2.2, JSF 1.2, and Richfaces 3.3.3. Since hibernate 3 isn't supported anymore in Wildfly, we need to migrate to hibernate 4 which isn't compatible with Seam 2.2. Thus, we have to migrate to Seam 2.3 and this leads to migrating to JSF 2.3 (Wildfly modules) and to Richfaces 4.
My project is an ear that contains inside it a war folder.
For JSF, I am using the supported module by Wildfly both com.sun.faces.impl and javax.faces.api. I also added jsf-facelets-1.1.15.jar as a jar under web-inf/lib.
For hibernate, I included the following jars in my ear: hibernate-commons-annotations-4.0.5.Final.jar, hibernate-core-4.3.11.Final.jar, and hibernate-entitymanager-4.3.11.Final.jar.
For seam, I included the seam jars: jboss-seam.jar, jboss-seam-debug.jar, ...
For Richfaces, I included the following libraries under the war folder: richfaces-a4j-4.5.17.Final.jar, richfaces-core-4.5.17.Final.jar, and richfaces-rich-4.5.17.Final.jar. I also included their dependencies.
I am still getting this error which I am not able to debug: Unsupported Operation Exception.
Did anyone encountered this issue ? And do you know if Seam 2.3 is still supported by the latest Wildfly especially that on Seam documentation, they gave the project examples on Jboss As 7?
Thank you for your help.
The migration you are trying to achieve will result in a non-supported environment as well.

Seam Moving Forward
As many of you may be aware, there have been a number of changes
within Seam over the past year. Here is a quick highlight of the
changes and how they may affect you and your application.
Seam 2
Seam 2.2 targets JBoss AS 5 and 6 as well as JBoss Enterprise
Application Platform 5 - Java EE 5 based architecture Seam 2.3 targets
Java EE 6 capabilities such as JSF2 and JPA2 on the JBoss Enterprise
Application Platform 6 - Seam 2.3 also supports RichFaces 4 which is
also available for commercial support via Web Framework Kit. If you
are looking for the long-term support with a service level agreement
of Seam 2.2 and/or Seam 2.3 then please contact us at
http://www.redhat.com/contact/sales.html Seam 2.3 is part of Web
Framework Kit, included as part of the JBoss Enterprise Application
Platform subscription .
Seam 2.3 was released in September 2012. This is an update to the Seam
2 code base to make it compatible with Jave EE 6. It runs well on
JBoss AS 7.
Seam 3
Active development of Seam 3 has been halted by Red Hat. Many projects
have moved over to Apache DeltaSpike , and others have been absorbed
into different projects. Please see the below table for information
about where the functionality from each module has gone and how you
can participate.
So no, it does not support WildFly 18 (Java EE 8)
Richfaces is 'dead' (sunset) for 4 years now. https://developer.jboss.org/wiki/RichFacesEnd-Of-LifeQuestionsAnswers
JSF 2.x has facelets built-in, so no need to include them. (Causes problems even)
Wildfly 18 has JPA2 built-in so no need to include hibernate manually (Might cause problems even)
Also read https://docs.jboss.org/seam/2.3.0.Final/reference/en-US/html/migration23.html
Switching to using
PrimeFaces (fully html 5, css3 etc compliant)
JPA2
CDI (with Deltaspike)
OmniFaces
OptimusFaces
is a way better thing to do (Although JSF is 'old' compared to e.t.c. Angular it is still modern when combined with the above technologies and more stable).

Security Concerns of Migrating from Richfaces to Primefaces

I have a small Richfaces web application hosted on a JBoss EAP 6.4 server. I want to now run the app instead on a JBoss EAP 7.0 server, and modify the app to use Primefaces v6.1 instead of Richfaces.
Can anyone tell me (or make an educated guess) as to what may be some new security concerns or implications for doing so?
Thanks

websphere 7 backwards compatibility

I am migrating a JSF application from WebSphere(WAS) 6.1 to WAS 7.0 and I am experiencing html deprecation issues now that I am using the JSP 2.1 API provided with WAS 7.0 as opposed to the JSP 2.0 API provided with WAS 6.1. Weblogic provides the ability to enable backward compatibility (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/web.1111/e13754/compat.htm#i1111538) in the weblogic app deployment descriptor. Is there a similar solution available in WAS 7.0? Is there a way to enable backwards compatibility in a deployment descriptor so the application can use JSF 2.0 API and not face the deprecated html issues?
There is nothing conclusive about this in the WebSphere Application Server 7.0 documentation, therefore I am led to believe that the typical IBM strategy is used here: The JSP engine you're getting with WAS 7.0 is JSP 2.1 compatible, period. You can't replace it and can't instruct WAS to use an older specification level.

Oracle ADF Faces application on Websphere 7.0

Can someone please help me out with the Oracle ADF faces application which I'm trying to deploy on Websphere 7.0? Do I need to apply any fixpacks on WAS? I'm trying to migrate this project from Websphere 6.1 to Websphere 7.0.
In Websphere 6.1, after removing jsf implementation jar files and providing them as part of WEB-INF\lib and changing the classloader to PARENT_LAST, the application was working fine.
For websphere 7.0, I can't seem to get the application working. It always picks up the Sun's JSF implementation. I've also tried the shared library concept but to no success.
Regards,
Zahir
The Oracle documentation lists a certification for WAS 7.0.0.13 ND. So you need FixPack 13 or later.
As the WebSphere Application Server 7 is a full blown JEE5 server it requires/has JSF 1.2 support. You can switch between the built in Sun and MyFaces implementation if required.
You should probably make sure that the ADF version you are using is certified for WAS 7. The ADF release notes tell that ADF supports JSF 2.0. The WAS 7 only comes with JSF 1.2. Exchanging the JSF version with placing the JSF 2 libs into WEB-INF/lib works well for our projects in conjunction with the 'PARENT_LAST' classloading policy. Make sure that you set the policy either for the whole application or for both the application and the web module.
ADF Faces is a Java based framework and it will run on WebSphere but, you have to add the required libraries first. The easiest way to prepare WebSphere to run ADF Faces application is through JDeveloper. Alternatively, you can google Oracle JRF (Java Runtime Framework) and install that on your WebSphere, before running the ADF Faces application.
