I use WebSphere 8.5 to host my application and configured some JDBC resources on the application server. Also I developed a client application using the thin client runtime

If you wanna use Oracle JDK 8.0 with IBM Websphere, try to replace 'ibmorb.jar' in your classpath to a newer (that using new java.nio.charset.MalformedInputException class).

You can find it here:

1. Download IBM JDK 8.0 (https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/java8/);
2. Unzip obtained archive into a folder (eclipseDevelopmentPackage by default);
3. Copy 'ibmorb.jar' from the following path: /eclipseDevelopmentPackage/ibm_sdk80/jre/lib/ibmorb.jar

Hope these help.
