Websphere 8.0 and Java 1.7

Question

We are currently using Websphere 8.0.0.7, which works with Java 1.6. Unfortunately, some portlets that we would like to integrate into the portal must run Java 1.7.

Is there a (simple) way to use Java 1.7 in Websphere 8.0.0.7? I found many answers for Websphere 8.5, but especially not for 8.0. Is using 1.7 even possible?

Thanks so much for your efforts!
