wctcmd.sh script fails to run - faulty JAVA_EXE

[sjamal]

Hi all,

We are running ibm-http-server:8.5.5.9 with docker 1.12.0 on a centos7x64 host.

We were experimenting with response files and looking at the /opt/IBM/WebSphere/Toolbox/WCT/wctcmd.sh script. It sets $JAVA_EXE as ../java/jre/bin/java

However, (output from inside the running container):

# pwd
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/Toolbox/java/jre/bin
# ./java -version
bash: ./java: No such file or directory

We were able to reproduce this on a developer macbook as well using the same image and docker 1.12.

In the past, we've noticed the /opt/IBM/WebSphere/Toolbox/java path was a symlink to /opt/IBM/HTTPServer/java (which continues to be a valid java installation).

I'm not sure why the discrepancy between the current image and images from several months ago (but same product version and image tag - 8.5.5.9).

Thank you for any feedback/input.

I think the symlinks would be better to save space but currently the installation script simply installs IHS, Plugin and WCT with their own respective JDK (not even JRE) I can check to see if I can incorporate it into my fork.

Hi, what is the workaround for this? Because of certain dependencies in our project we have to stay on the IBM HTTPServer version 8.
