Deploying the same project to Bea V61 works.

I believe this is the same bug we are tracking in 2 other threads that is related to one of the projects being deployed, has no JAR files in its WEB-INF/lib directory. Is this the case with any of your web applications? If it is, this bug will be fixed in the next release, if not, we can move from there.

[THEN]

Thanks for the fast answer. I just tried it with a dummy jar file (that means a file that I do not use in the programs) – it had no effect. But perhaps a used jar file is needed to work around the error.

I got no error message, but the generated war file was corrupt. I cannot definitely say, if it is the same bug as in the other threads – I just hope so.

Now I am looking forward to the release version –> I hope this bug leaves us as suddenly as it came. 🙂

What happens when you use an exploded deployment, does that work fine?

[THEN]

Sorry for not answering your message, but I have been out of office for 3 weeks.
Now, I will try the release version and look if the problem has been distinguished.

Thanks

Thomas

[Riyad Kalla]

Thomas,
You may run into a handful of other bugs, but we hope to have those fixed in a release by weeks end. So hang tight.

[THEN]

Hi,

Tank you for the tip!

Now, I am testing with version 3.8.2. When I use exploded deployment everything works fine,
with packaged deployment I have the same problems as with Beta2.

Perhaps I have some useful information (I really don’t know):
My colleague made a workspace/project from base and everything works fine.
I imported a workspace pref file including appserver (WL8) settings and a lot of other common preferences.
Is it possible that that can have something to do with my problem?

Thomas

[THEN]

I think I found something.

First: of course I am testing with 3.8.1

I created a new workspace, imported my project. And look –> deployment worked!
Then I made some changes to the preferences (I changed several settings, I cannot remember which),
perhaps also to the project. And look again –> deployment did not work anymore.

Then I found out that the size of the .war file increased dramatically (300 %), so I controlled the preferences
again and saw that the content on page project deployment changed (without changing it myself, at least not directly – I am sure!).
When I changed the ‘Web Project External Libraries Deployment policy’ to ‘ignore…’ –> deployment was successfully again
(with the original file size).

I think the problem occurs when you try to deploy external libraries with the war file.
(luckily I do not need this feature at the moment)

thanks,

Thomas

Thomas,

The problem might simply be that when you chose to deploy external libraries that these overwrote / conflicted with some that the server provides at runtime thus giving you an invalid classpath configuration within your war. The “Deploy external libraries” option is certainly not for every web project. 🙂

[THEN]

Scott,

thanks for the quick answer. What I am not sure is why “eclipse/myeclipse suddenly chose to deploy external jar files” :).
I do not know what I did that this setting changed (I did not change it directly, perhaps it was changed indirectly by changing other properties).
The only thing I know is that suddenly deployment did not work anymore.
But now, since I know how to handle this problem, it should be no problem anymore. 🙂

Thanks for your help!

Thomas
