Hi Chirstian,
I have installed geoserver on Websphere and running into the j_acegi_security_check filenotfoundexception.
I found in a previous discussion there is the need to put an empty file with that name in the webroot directory.
Is this still the case with the latest version of geoserver (currently downloading the latest nightly)
And if so what is meant by the webroot directory
Cheers Kris

The best would be to use the newest version of geoserver, this version
should include all patches I did for IBM SDK
Since I am working on linux i386 (dev) ,linux ppc, AIX and linux/zOS I can
say nothing about Windows.
My advise for the linux i386
Use Websphere 6.1 with the latest fixpack (runs on IBM SDK 5)
DO NOT USE Websphere 7 at the moment, there is a bug in the SDK 6 in the
"Bean Introspector" which prevents the web interface from working.
Proposal:
Try an install and check it. I think t will work. If you find errors, please
post them on the mailing list including the stacktrace. The best would be to
include the word "Websphere" in the subject. If you have to integrate DB2
use the DB2 extension ending with "-ng", You can also ask questions about
DB2. I am something like the IBM supporter in the project 
Fixing Websphere problems is essentiall for me, because my biggest customer
is using Websphere, your problems are automatically my problems too

Hi Christian
Thanks for the quick response.
Geoserver version we plan to use is at least 1.7.4
Websphere version is 6.1
And platform is Windows for dev and linux/windows for production

Yep, I am working with Webpshere.
The biggest difference ist that Websphere requires an IBM SDK.
I have been working the last year on bringing IBM SDK 5 and 6 into supported
land for geotools/geoserver. At this point in time there is one minor issue
left in a test case which will be fixed soon.
What I have to know
1) Which Version of geoserver
2) Which Version of WAS
If you have access to the machine, change into the bin directory and execute
versioninfo.sh or versioninfo.bat, otherwise tell me the major number
(5,6,or 7).
3) Which platform (i386, ppc, linux/zOS, zOS)
Greetings form Vienna

Hi all,
Currently i'm running Geoserver on Oracle AS (oc4j) with a few minor
adjustments in the shared libs of oracle. My client wants to use IBM
Websphere.
I know from the past that running it on tomcat and jboss is no problem
also but have no experience with running it on websphere
So please let me know if anyone has successfully used geoserver on
websphere or what problems you ran into.
Thanks in advance.
Met vriendelijke groet, Kind regards,
