Since MyEclipse Blue 6.5, 7M1, 7M2 und 7.0 still sometimes fails to deploy an ear to WebSphere 6.1 Fixpack 17 with the above error message “EAR expansion failued”, I decided to open this new thread to go into more details here. Perhaps we can find a solution this time. (Originial posting was “Unreliable EAR deployment to WebSphere AS” 11/11/08)

To be more precise: The problem occures when deploying in exploded deployment mode with a running WebSphere.

[…] 00000056 AddBinaryTask E EAR expansion failued for C:\Programme\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\AppSrv01\installedApps\HostNode01Cell\XYZ.ear

(The typo in the error message is copied from the console view as it is.)

As a consequence of the failed ear expansion, some ear artifacts are missing, which leads to further error messages (e.g. Module not found). MyEclipse now shows no error message box, instead the partially deployed application is marked with a yellow exclamation mark in the server view.

Undeploying and deploying the same ear again works some times. In case the ear expansion fails again, it fails at a different location within the ear archive.

For example while in the first attempt module A could not be expanded and thus produced a “Module not found” message, the secound attempt might miss a different module. For me this sound like an out of memory problem or some race condition.

This error never occurs, when I export the EAR from the IDE and install it using the web based WebSphere Admin Console (launched from the server view in MyEclipse).
Furthermore the error also never occurs, when I built, package and deploy the same ear project via maven2 from the command line.

mst98sub,
Could you right-click on the server in the Servers view and choose “view deployment log” and clear the contents of the file. Now restart his server and re-try the deployment and when it fails, copy the new deployment log here for me.

Hi Nipun,

while exporting my application as EAR archive from MyEclipse and deploying it manually via WebSphere Admin Console is working reliably, the normal MyEclipse deployment fails most of the time. I have attached the deployment log.

thx for your help,
Mathias

Mathias,

The log helped quite a bit — it looks like the server is keeping a read-lock on the JAR and in our 3 attempts at deleting it are not working so the deployment is failing… I’ll file this with the dev team and see if there is some way to make this a more robust process.
