Oops, I didn’t have notify enabled, so I’ve only just seen this.

Yes, making that change allows me to deploy the ear correctly.

Many thanks.

Colin,

Did / do you use the “WebSphere Application Editor” to edit your application.xml? It’s our new multi-page form editor that we introduced with MyEclipse 8.5. We just noticed a bug where it seems to be writing out an incomplete deployment.xml file which could be causing your issues.

Suggested steps:

1) Close all editors.
2) Find the following file in your project.
/META-INF/ibmconfig/cells/defaultCell/applications/defaultApp/deployments/defaultApp/deployment.xml
3) Right click the file and choose Open With > MyEclipse XML Editor and change the first line from

<appdeployment:Deployment xmi:id="Deployment_1262775196208">

to

<appdeployment:Deployment xmi:version="2.0" xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI" xmlns:appdeployment="http://www.ibm.com/websphere/appserver/schemas/5.0/appdeployment.xmi" xmi:id="Deployment_1262775196208">

and save the file.

If you deploy your project now, does it work as expected? As an alternative quick test you could simply delete the deployment.xml file and try a deployment as well to make sure the erroneous file is not being deployed with your project.

Once you make the change to the header of deployment.xml (please note that this file will be created when you switch to the configuration tab of the WebSphere Application editor) then you can continue using the editor without issue.

Please let us know if this fixes the problem for you.
