Hello,

I’ve created a Java Web Service using the Xfire libraries in MyEclipse 6.0.1. The service is successfully tested and deployed within Tomcat 6.0 (embedded within MyEclipse).

I need to deploy this service within WebSphere 6.1 ND(not embedded wihtin MyEclipse) within AIX. I exported a .war file and attempted to install the Web Service with WS 6.1. I first recieved the error:
IWAE0007E Could not load resource “META-INF/application.xml”

This is a known issue within WS where the applicaiton.xml must be provided instead of being optional. A WS patch is required to move past this issue. After creating an application.xml and redeploying a .war file, I recieved the following error:
[ADMA0084E: The archive /ras/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/Dmgr01/wstemp/92668751/upload/PBServices.war to wrap is not a module of type JAR or WAR.]

I believe that the .war file I’m exporting from MyEclipse may not be valid for WS as it does successfully deploy and work wtihin Tomcat 6.
Have you seen the above issue? I don’t want to patch WS and then see other issues arise because of the .war file created from MyEclipse. Would you recommend I deploy a local WS 6.1 and embed within MyEclipse, then create the .war file for deployment on aix server?

Thanks in advance for you assistance.

jlmapinfo,
Im not sure if I have come across any other user facing such an issue with websphere deployment. If you setup the server under MyEclipse and deply your app, does it work without issues?

I’ll check with my team if they are aware of such an issue.

Thanks for the response. I was able to set up a local WebSphere 6.1 ND instance on my Windows environment and setup this instance under myeclipse. The .war file created by myEclipse successfully deployed within my WAS 6.1 windows instance.

Using the same .war file, I attempted to deploy it within the AIX WAS 6.1 instance and recieved again the IWAE0007E Could not load resource “META-INF/application.xml” error message. After further research I found that this may in fact be related to a known WAS issue – http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1PK45042

I’m currently working on patching my WAS instance to 6.1.0.19 to hopefully resolve this issue. Please let me know if you have any other information which may be pertinant to this issue.

Thanks.
