[Boeing-107]

I have been running my application through MyEclipse and WebSphere for many years, with the deployments and refreshes working fairly well, occasional redeploy required, but typically functioning well. I had not updated WAS or MyEclipse in a while, I was running My Eclipse 2017 and WebSphere 8.5.5 in my local dev environment without issues. I recently had the Windows 10 update 20H2 pushed to my machine and after this I have not been able to successfully deploy. I cannot guarantee that the windows update was the cause, but it seems to be the timing of when it stopped working.
I first saw this in my development branch, I have switched to my stable released branch and I am still seeing the same issues

Now when I do a deployment and start the application I receive a message “Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) module does not have any enterprise beans configured” and it shuts down the application. The deployment itself reports that it is successful. In the WAS installedApps folder (using classic deploy) there is a folder vector-ejb.jar_extract, where in a successful deploy I see it without the _extract extension.
I have since updated my local environment, WAS 9.x and the current MyEclipse 2021.5.24
Unfortunately after a full rebuild of the environment I am still seeing the same behavior.

With the 2021 update of MyEclipse I am now seeing a bit more logging from the deployment, this seems to be the implementation of the EJB

I am not seeing any errors in here, but it is reporting 0 files, somewhere it seems an error is being swallowed, just not sure where it is failing.

If I try and use the ‘In-workspace’ deployment mode I receive a classloading exception that I have never been able to work around, tried this route for a while with no success.

Thanks

Hi,

Sorry that you are seeing this issue.

1. Please share the .log file located at workspace dir/.metadata/.log to help us check for any errors logged.
2. Are you working with EJB 2.x or 3.x?
3. Can you check if you can manually extract the EJB jar in the WAS InstalledApps folder, to rule out any OS related issues with extraction?
4. If possible, can you please export the EAR and deploy it to Websphere outside of MyEclipse to rule out any issues with the project/server itself?

Scott,

Just checking in to see if you were able to make any progress on your deployment issues. Given the many changes you’ve made, getting a baseline export working would be a good step. This is what Swapna suggested in #4 – if you can export the EAR and use the WAS admin console to deploy it, does that work, does the application come up successfully?

Do let us know how we can help.

Yes, thank you. I do have it working. I was unaware of the log file that was referenced in 1
That was the key to uncovering my problem. There was an error in there that was not being reported anywhere else, the error was relating to MyEclipse now trying to resolve a xsd with the name of one of the projects in it, this project had a space in the name and this caused everything to fail and not function. As soon as I removed the space from the name of the project, everything worked correctly.

Removed the error text, as my post was blocked.

Once I added a – to the middle of the project name it started working correctly. This name appears to be derived from the name element of the maven project file.

Now separately trying to add the error message
