maybe has someone the same problem.
We want use in our Application org.apache.httpcomponents in IBM WebSphere 8.x in Version 4.2.x ( org.apache.httpcore 4.2.4 and org.apache.httpclient 4.2.5 ). If we do that, we get an error java.lang.VerifyError. The reason is: IBM uses apache.httpcomponents in old version 4.0.1 even in Websphere. But We want the old version not use ( Version 4.0.1 was 2009 releases ) . IBM knows that problem and recommends the use of shared library. That works, when you use Rational products for developing. We use eclipse with WTP for developing with websphere. Unfortunately you can't define shared library with WTP.
Has anybody an idea, or other solution for this problem.
Have you tried doing your development against the WAS liberty profile? it would be an overall better experience and be an alternative to the shared library approach at development time.
