I am stuck trying to solve the following error (catalina log)

At first I thought this was an issue with the .war file – and then with the JDK version – but I think I have ruled these out and now suspect something in the IDE

Can you go to MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details and paste the information here for me.

If you create a new MyEclipse Web Project and try deploying it without adding any code to it, does it deploy without errors?

I have the IDE running on Ubuntu (Hardy) as well – and get the same error (using JDK5);
Simple new Web Project deploys just fine.

[Loyal Water]

Can you give me some information about the project that you are trying to deploy. Was it created using MyEclipse ? What capabilities are added to your project?

[tantunes]

Hi!

This thread seems to be dead but I have a similar problem. I don’t know if I should open a new one or post this reply…

My situation is the following:

– The .war package is correctly deployed in Glassfish (on my local machine);

– I’m trying now to manually deploy it in IBM Websphere 6.1 on a remote machine;

– When installing as a new app under Websphere i get a java.lang.IllegalArgumentException at java.util.zip.ZipInputStream.getUTF8String(ZipInputStream.java:325).

– An empty web project deploys without any exception in Websphere.

Can you help me? Need more info?

Thank you,
Tiago

You are deploying it manually or via MyEclipse?

[tantunes]

I create the war in MyEclipse and then submit it to Websphere in it’s administration console (web).

[tantunes]

I’m sorry to insist but I am really short on time…
Can you help me?

Tiago,
I know you ruled out the possibility of this being a JDK related issue but have you tried using a different version of JDK ? I tried doing some googling and seems like this could be a JDK related issue.

Yes, I did try… But got the same error.

I found two pages that could bring some (little) little to this subject:

– The Java bug that is probably originating it: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4820807

– A problem submited in the Websphere support page that is a bit simmilar to the one I’m getting: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21260968.

Any idea? :S

Hi!
Sorry to get back this late but I guess it can help someone. I forgot to post right after I ‘ve managed to deploy.

I solved this problem, eventhough I’m not aware of the exact reason. I did it by deleting some binary files that I included in the war. I’m almost sure that there was no special characters in those file’s names, but the truth is, it finally deployed successfully.

When I finish these other tasks that have higher priority I intend to look a bit deeper in this matter and hopefully try to explain this problem/solution better.

Thank you for your help.

Your welcome.
