I am getting the following exception when deploying my web project onto the Weblogic server from MyEclipse:

weblogic.management.ManagementRuntimeException: weblogic.management.ApplicationException: [J2EE:160028]No J2EE deployment descriptor found at…

I have to repeat the deployment step 5-10 times before it actually deploys it.

Are you deploying in exploded format while WebLogic is running? If so, WebLogic might be attempting to deploy before your application is completely copied out. How about shuttind down WebLogic, redeploying your app in exploded format, then starting WebLogic. Does that work?.

[Ivan]

Yes, the deployment is in exploded format. If I stop Weblogic, deploy the app, and then start the Weblogic, it works. However, restarting the server takes quite a bit of time. Is there a way to tell Weblogic not to deploy until the entire app is copied?

[Loyal Water]

This is actually caused by WebLogic’s refresh time on directories being too short, so what is actually happening is that WebLogic is detecting that the web application has changed WHILE MyEclipse is deploying it, and before MyEclipse has copied out the web.xml file, and throwing this exception.

You need a weblogic.xml file (in the proper format, of course) in the WEB-INF directory of your web project that contains the following:

<!DOCTYPE weblogic-web-app PUBLIC "-//BEA 
Systems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 7.0//EN" 
"http://www.bea.com/servers/wls700/dtd/weblogic700-web-jar.dtd"> 
<weblogic-web-app> 
   <description>WebLogic Descriptor</description> 
   <jsp-descriptor> 
      <jsp-param> 
         <param-name>pageCheckSeconds</param-name> 
         <param-value>1</param-value> 
       </jsp-param> 
      <jsp-param> 
         <param-name>debug</param-name> 
         <param-value>true</param-value> 
      </jsp-param> 
   </jsp-descriptor> 
</weblogic-web-app>

BEA’s documentation has much more detail about what’s available, of course.
