[Brett Connor]

I have a small test project that a few days ago deployed fine to my local JBoss, and now doesn’t. The symptom is that it continuously says “deployment is out of date due to changes… etc”, and the .war or anything else has not appeared in the deploy directory any more. All settings appear to be correct. Then I find this in the error log:

Further info: I removed the deployment, and tried to add it again. Selecting JBoss4 from the drop down in the “new deployment” dialog gave me a new exception stack:

A similar but slightly different dump appears each time I toggle the “packaged” vs “exploded” radio button, each wrapped in an “Unhandled event loop exception”.
I don’t know what’s changed to cause this to fail, it worked fine last week.

Brett,
1) Try this: http://www.myeclipseide.com/FAQ+index-myfaq-yes-id_cat-30.html#343
2) If #1 doesn’t work, Try File > Switch Workspace > C:\tempworkspace > Hit OK to restart. Resetup JBoss, deploy some test app to it, did it work?
3) If #2 didn’t work, then (you knew this was comming, why you skipped it I don’t know): Can you please post all the information we request in the [URL=http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2+file-viewtopic-t-393.html]Posting Guidelines[/URL] thread at the top of this forum? That will give us some context so that we can determine if this is an installation issue, a configuration problem, or a bug. Thanks.

[Brett Connor]

Hi Riyad,
Thanks for the response. I did a -clean, that’s always one of the first things I try. Didn’t help me.
I put the setup info in the first post, after the stack trace, is there anything missing from that? I hit the “insert” button on the page and then filled in the answers. Perhaps I shall put it at the top of the post next time.

I couldn’t find a way to rescue that project, what I did was create a new project and copy the source in, setup the deployment again, and currently it’s working fine. Diff’ing the files now, the only significant difference I can see is that the new .mymetadata has a
context-root=”xyz”
attribute in the project-module element where the old one does not.

I don’t know why it worked before and why it changed, that’s disturbing. This is just a tiny test project so recreating it is not too stressful, but if this happens on my real stuff…

Regards
Brett

Well unless you had your fingers crossed while you did it, I can see why it didn’t work 😉

I put the setup info in the first post, after the stack trace, is there anything missing from that?

Woops I thought it was part of the stack trace, I see it. You know about the whole “make sure you have the right Beta version of MyEclipse” deal with M4 and M6 right?

Diff’ing the files now, the only significant difference I can see is that the new .mymetadata has a
context-root=”xyz”
attribute in the project-module element where the old one does not.

Ahh, if you still have the old project around, load it up, go to MyEclipse-Web project properties, and see if the context root got nulled out. This has happened to me once, and only once, but it caused the problems you are describing.

This is just a tiny test project so recreating it is not too stressful, but if this happens on my real stuff…

Double check the project props next time and do quick sanity checks. The Eclipse preferences API seems to flake sometimes, have no idea why. It was much worse in persisting values in 2.x though. Hopefully by 3.1 GA it won’t happen anymore.

[Brett Connor]

You know about the whole “make sure you have the right Beta version of MyEclipse” deal with M4 and M6 right?

Hmm, I think so. I’ve only ever had 3.1M6 installed, and jumped on your announcement a couple of weeks ago of the M6 version of 3.8.4, I’m pretty sure I got the right one.

go to MyEclipse-Web project properties, and see if the context root got nulled out. This has happened to me once, and only once, but it caused the problems you are describing.

Ah, that was it. I looked at all the preferences and properties I could find before, didn’t really spot that the context root had been set to “/” (if it had been completely empty it might have jumped off the page at me). Thanks for the help.

Regards
Brett

I ran across this same “bug” again today with version 6.5.1GA, so it appears that it is still broken. When will this ever get fixed? Search your forums and you will find many references to this same “bug”. Just search for “DeploymentManager” in the forums and you will see all the people that are running into this same issue.

Thanks.
