Websphere 8.0 and Java 1.7

java websphere java-7 websphere-portal

we're currently using Websphere 8.0.0.7 which runs with Java 1.6. Unfortunately, some of the portlets we would like to integrate into the portal need Java 1.7 to run.

Is there any (simple) way to use Java 1.7 under Websphere 8.0.0.7? I found a lot of answers for Websphere 8.5, but especially not for 8.0. Is the use of 1.7 even possible?

Thanks a lot for your effort!

WAS 8.0 will not support JAVA 7 (1.7).

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/prodguid/v1r0/clarity-reports/report/html/softwareReqsForProduct?deliverableId=1121441746890&osPlatform=Windows#prereqs-Java

JAVA shipped with WAS versions. http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27005002

The JAVA 7 is supported from WAS 8.5.x and is shipped as optional feature as default for 8.5.x is also JAVA 6.
