EAR’s deployed to WAS 6.1 from MEB 8.5 are not showing in the server view.

I uninstalled MEB and installed v8.5 from pulse explorer. With this new installation, I created a new profile using the default WAS template and created a new server connection to WAS 6.1 from the servers tab. I created a new Enterprise Application (J2EE 1.4) with a new web module.

When I deployed the application to the server, the deployment log indicated that it deployed successfully, but the EAR is not visible beneath the server connector. I started the server from MEB, and the admin console indicates that the application is installed and running.

Several people from my organization have identified this issue with their existing workspaces and rolled back to v8.0. This issue will likely prevent my entire organization from upgrading to 8.5 if it cannot be resolved. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Blaine

Blaine,
I could not replicate this issue at my end. Can you give some more information?
1. Can you copy paste your installation details from MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details?
2. Are there any relevant errors logged in the log file located at workspace dir > .metadata > log? Please clear your log file, save and deploy your application and then look of the logged errors.
3. What is the mode of deployment that you are using? Packaged/Exploded?
4.

the EAR is not visible beneath the server connector

Can you clarify if you are looking at the servers view(Window > Show View >Servers)

Blaine,

Did all users of 8.5 experience this problem? Or did it work for some?
By any chance, did you try this in an earlier version of 8.5 – 8.5M1 or 8.5M2?

Thank you both for your responses.

Brian,
I’m not aware of anyone that was able to successfully view their deployments in the server view. I know of 3 people that tried. I don’t believe anyone tried with 8.5M1 or 8.5M2.

Shalini,
I am indeed looking at the servers view from Window->Show View->Servers. The server connection is visible, and it properly reflects whether or not the server is running, but it does not show applications that I deployed to the server from MEB. I am deploying the application in enhanced mode, so I’m not able to select exploded or packaged. I cleared my workspace log in .metadata immediately prior to deploying. I deployed the application and confirmed via the deployment log that it was successful. Nothing was written to the workspace log in .metadata.

I hope this helps.

Blaine,

Thanks for the quick response.

1) Just to clarify further – you used our wizard to create a new Enterprise Application Project with a sample Web module in it. Deployment of this simple sample project did not show up in the server view? While you did say the deployment worked, did you try to access the sample web page?
If possible, could you send us a zip containing the EAR and Web projects to support@genuitec.com ATTN Brian with a link to this thread? Also, a screenshot of the WebSphere 6.1 configuration preference page would help.

2) How do you deploy the app? Do you initiate the deployment from the server view or from the EAR project’s context menu?
If you click the Manage deployments action (see screenshot) and select WebSphere 6.1 – do you see the deployment here?

3) Another simple test (if you still have 8.5 installed) – can you deploy the web application (any web application) to MyEclipse Tomcat – does it show up in the server view? I’m trying to ascertain whether this issue is specific to Blue or across all our servers.

4) Is this a WebSphere 6.1 development version, production version or a RAD based WAS installation?

Thanks for your support, we do want to fix this issue asap.

I appreciate your attention to the matter. Hopefully these responses help.

1) I used the MEB wizard to create a new Enterprise Application Project with a sample web module. Deployment of this project was successful, and I can access the sample web page, but the project does not show up in the server view.

2) I deployed the app from the server view by right-clicking on the WebSphere 6.1 server connector and selecting “Add Deployment…”. The “Manage Deployments…” screen (from your screenshot) does not show the deployment. If I right-click on the EAR project -> MyEclipse -> Add and Remove project deployments, I still do not see the EAR deployed.

3) I successfully deployed the web project to MyEclipse Tomcat, and I do see the Web project deployed to Tomcat in the server view. This seems to be isolated to WebSphere.

4) I believe I’m using a production version of WAS, but I’m not certain. How can I determine this definitively? WebSphere’s versionInfo provides the following:

Installed Product
——————————————————————————–
Name IBM WebSphere Application Server
Version 6.1.0.29
ID BASE
Build Level cf290949.16
Build Date 12/11/09

I’ve email you an archive of the EAR and WAR projects. Please let me know if I may be of any further assistance.

Thanks,
Blaine

As a followup to other users, this issue was caused by a bug in MyEclipse Blue 8.5 when the profile folder resides outside the WebSphere installation directory.
If WebSphere was installed at c:\program files\ibm\websphere\appserver and your profile folder is at c:\was_profiles\appsrv01 then deployment does not show up in the server view. However, if your profile folder is at c:\program files\ibm\websphere\appserver\profiles\AppSrv01, then the deployment will be recognized by MyEclipse and appear in all views.

This bug has already been fixed internally and the fix will be available in the upcoming 8.6M1 release.
