Hi,

I have an Enterprise Application Project (J2EE 1.4 specification) with a single Web module. I deploy it in the WebSphere 6.1 server in the Servers view (Add deployment...) This fails (Status shows as "Redeploy") and the log file contains the following:

!ENTRY com.genuitec.eclipse.ast.deploy.core 1 0 2008-03-14 16:27:50.155

By "manually deploy" I assume this means to deploy the application via MyEclipse/Run as... When I do this, the Server view claims that the app has been deployed ("OK") and is running but it doesn't show up in the Admin Console's list of enterprise applications and I can't hit it from my browser ("Error 404: No target servlet configured for uri: /")

Also, when I deploy it through Run As... any changes I make in the web project doesn't seem to trigger a redploy on the server instance - is this correct behaviour? i.e., auto-deploy only works in certain circumstances?

Thanks!
Andy

Andy,
You did exactly the right thing, the "Invalid Thread Access" is actually a misleading error that occurs when deployment fails, and occured with our Blue M1 release, but we just made the GA release of Blue with 100s of more fixes in it this morning, are you using this morning's build or using the M1 release?

You should be able to tell by going to MyEclipse > Installation Summary and looking for the version number there, it should be 6.1.0 GA.

If you are using GA, I'll have you dig into the deployment log to see what failed, but if you are using M1, my first suggestion would be to grab our GA release and install that first and reopen your existing workspace and try the deployment again (you might nee dto remove it and make sure it's cleaned out first before successfully deploying it)

Hi Riyad,

I downloaded and installed the GA release just now. Can you explain how the synchronization between MyEclipse and the WAS install is managed? The Server view didn't show my EAR app deployed but when I tried to add that deployment, the dialog reports:

An existing resource has been found at location $WAS_HOME\profiles\AppSrv01\installedApps\nodeCell\EAR.ear.
Deployment of project TIM EAR will replace this resource. Please specify the action you wish to take during deployment:

However, no matter which of the options I choose for dealing with this (backup/restore, delete or overwrite) the Finish button remains grayed out. There is a directory under ${WAS_HOME}\profiles\AppSrv01\installedApps\nodeCell but after I delete it manually, I still can't deploy it. Even though I don't get that error message above, the list of available projects doesn't show the WAR project, and the Finish button is still inactive.

Hello Andy,

Can you tell me what appears under the Servers view for your websphere 6.1 server?

IF you see a deployment there you can right-click and choose "remove". If there are no deployments there, go to your Websphere 6.1 connector preference choose "restore defaults", then restart MyEclipse Blue and then go back in and reconfigure your websphere 6.1 server and change to "enable" and press OK. You should now be able to deploy your project.

IF you still can't deploy for some reason, right click your WebSphere6.1 server and chooes "view deployment log" and go to the last part of the file and paste in the contents of the last deployment that tried to take place.

Here is the excerpt from the deployment log

Based on my (feeble) interpretation of the last part, I tried renaming the projects involved to get rid of embedded spaces. Results in following post.

The "operations" command on the Help object can be used to learn more about the signatures available for "startApplication."

After renaming the projects, the app deploys successfully, but upon startup, there are some exceptions - stack traces included. Can you tell me whether they're innocuous? The app still seems to have started up successfully.

Also, the jar files involved - are they actually being deployed by MyEclipse? Because I'm not including them as dependencies in my project so I was very surprised to see them in the exploded WAR file.

Andy I asked one of our guys from the Blue team to swing back with you on this ASAP.

(btw I have no idea where that porlet plugin is coming form...)

Hey Andy,

Looks like your application did start successfully. MyEclipse Web Projects by default will deploy everything that is on the WEB-INF/lib directory of your project. Also I've attached an image that I captured from MyEclipse Blue that shows you what else is deployed by default.

I imagine that one of those options is causing the webcontainer/portlet jars to be deployed in your WAR. If you find out which one of those options is causing the unneeded deployment you can turn that particular option off on a per-project basis.

1. Go to your project, right-click and choose properties
2. select MyEclipse -> Web -> Deployment tab
3. Uncheck that you want to use workbench defaults and customize the deployment settings there.

Hope this helps.

Hi Greg,

I'm not sure I understand which options correspond to "workbench defaults." One thing I did notice was that the web project build path was still using the JRE from the MyEclipse Blue 6.1 M1 build. I'm not sure that
made a difference, but I pointed it into the GA files, undeployed the web app, shutdown/restarted MyEclipse Blue and deployed the app again. Starting up the server and app now only shows the one exception:

However, looking into the deployed WEB-INF/lib directory on the WAS instance, I see the following jars which I didn't include - are these added because of the "Smart Deployment"?

bootstrap.jar
com.ibm.mq.jar
com.ibm.mqjms.jar
com.ibm.ws.ejbportable_6.1.0.jar
com.ibm.ws.emf_2.1.0.jar
com.ibm.ws.portletcontainer_2.0.0.jar
com.ibm.ws.runtime.dist_6.1.0.jar
com.ibm.ws.runtime_6.1.0.jar
com.ibm.ws.sib.server_2.0.0.jar
com.ibm.ws.sip.container_6.1.0.jar
com.ibm.ws.wccm_6.1.0.jar
com.ibm.ws.webcontainer_2.0.0.jar
j2ee.jar
j2ee-6.1.jar
mail-impl.jar
marshall.jar
runtime-6.1.0.jar

Oh whoops, just noticed that the list of jars above are in the WebSphere Application Server v6.1 library. Which of the Library Deployment Policies would need to be unchecked to omit these from the deployment? Do I even want to do this? i.e., should these jars be added to my web app's WEB-INF/lib folder??

Thanks,
Andy

Sigh. Is there any way to edit/delete forum posts? I just found where the workbench default checkbox was.....

So, here are my libraries:

JRE System Library
J2EE 1.4 Libraries
WebSphere Application Server v6.1
Maven Classpath Container

What combination of checkboxes would I want to use to include the Maven Classpath Container library, but omitting the others. I do want to leave out the first 3 won't I?

Thanks,
Andy

Hey Andy,

If you have the option "Jars in the webproject's user libraries", then any jars in the classpath containers on the webproject will get deployed *except* for JRE containers, or J2EE containers. So in your case with that option selected both "WebSphere Application Server v6.1" and "Maven Classpath Container" would get deployed.

We obviously don't want to deploy the WebSphere Application Server v6.1 jars because all of those will be automatically available to your webapp after its deployed.

What is in your Maven Classpath containers? Dependencies that you have setup? Give me an idea of what is in there but its likely you do need those deployed.

Hi Greg,

Yes, we've got a whole host of dependencies - internal jars as well as third party jars (commons, hibernate etc.) but mostly it would be our own jars. I think it makes sense to be able to deploy libraries independent of each other (instead of all user libraries at once)

Thanks,
Andy

Hey Andy,

Here is a workaround that I'd like to propose.

1. Reenable the setting that will deploy all jars in user libraries out of your web project
2. Configure the classpath containers on your web project to only include those jars that are unavailable when running in websphere (most likely this is all the jars in your maven classpath conatiner)
3. Create a normal java project
4. add the Websphere Application Server v6.1 classpath container to that project
5. right-click the java project and choose properties > java build path > order and export tab, select the websphere container you just added to be exported.
6. right-click your webproject go to properties > java build path, and add this new java project on the project dependencies list
7. under project properties > MYEclipse > Web > Deployment, and uncheck the option that says : User libraries exported from dependent java projects

So now you should have all the classpath containers with all the jars available to your project for compilation/validation but only those jars in the maven classpath container will be deployed to websphere. Does that make sense?
