WebSphere Application Server requires Java SDK 1.3 to install fix packs or interim fixes
 Technote (FAQ)
 
Problem
During a custom installation of WebSphere® Application Server V4.0.1 and V4.0.2, you can choose not to install the Java™ SDK 1.3. However, interim fixes and fix packs require that the Java SDK 1.3 already be installed.
 
Cause
When configuring a HTTP remote Web server for WebSphere Application Server, it is required that you install the Java SDK shipped with WebSphere Application Server, even for systems where only the plug-in is installed.
 
Solution
It is also possible to run the WebSphere Application Server install again to add the Java SDK.

If the Java SDK is not installed with WebSphere Application Server, the following might occur:
  • Prompting for the location of the Java SDK when running the fix pack installation.
  • Errors occurring or "java not found" when trying to install an interim fix using the command, java -jar.

Silent install
The Java SDK is automatically installed as part of a plug-in installation.
