com/ibm/rmi/iiop/GIOPVersionException starting Administrative Server
 Technote (FAQ)
 
Problem
Installing WebSphere® Application Server V4.0.2 from the WebSphere Commerce Suite CD and then installing Visual Age for Java™ (VAJ) can cause an SDK mismatch. This prevent the WebSphere Application Server Administrative Server from starting.
 
 
Solution
Environment:

Installation of WebSphere V4.0.2 from the WebSphere Commerce Suite CD is not supported for use with Visual Age for Java.

Scenario:

If you install V4.0.2 for the WebSphere Commerce Suite CD and then install VAJ, you will receive the error listed below.

Error as seen in the tracefile:


AdminServer   X WSVR0009E: Error occurred during startup
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/ibm/rmi/iiop/GIOPVersionException
at com.ibm.CORBA.iiop.ConnectionTable.createConnection(ConnectionTable .java:142)
at com.ibm.CORBA.iiop.ConnectionTable.get(ConnectionTable.java:527)
at

Cause:

There is an SDK mismatch between the installations of VAJ and the WebSphere Commerce Suite CD installation of V4.0.2.

Solution:

  1. Uninstall both WebSphere Application Server and VAJ.

  2. Install VAJ, then install WebSphere Application Server, so that the last SDK installed is the one required by WebSphere Application Server.

  3. Start WebSphere Application Server. It will now start successfully.
