    We have been using MyEclipse blue version 8.6.0, 8.6.1 and 9.0a remotely deploying to WebSphere 7.0.0.15 (with administrative security enabled) with perfect success for several weeks with 9.0a. However upon updating 9.0a to 9.1 this morning using Pulse we were unable to remotely deploy any longer. Removing the deployment using the WebSphere admin console and attempting a new clean deployment results in no evidence of the EAR even attempting to be deployed (we suspect some type of authentication issue due to administrative security at this point).

    We then performed a complete product removal and reinstalled from the “myeclipse-blue-9.1-offline-installer-windows.exe” installer but incured the exact same results. In the deployment log the error we encounter with the 9.1 version is:

    Nothing that we tried corrected the issue.

    JDripps ,

    Thank you for pointing to it. I could replicate the issue at my end.
    I have escalated it to the dev team. They will get back to you.
    Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

    Jeff,

    For some reason this very obvious use case did not get tested before the 9.1 release and we do have a regression here.

    If you would please write in to support@genuitec.com with a link to this thread and subject ATTN Brian, i will work on getting a fix to your team.

    Jeff,

    We found a few additional issues with Blue that we need to push into the 9.1 update; we are attempting to release it this weekend. Once the release is out I will post an update to this thread.

    Thank you for your patience.

    Guys,

    It appears that we need some additional time with the 9.1.1 maintenance release. I have therefore made the remote deployment fix available separately as a simple downloadable fix which can be applied to MyEclipse 9.1.

    Please see this thread for details: https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/fix-for-websphere-remote-deployment-on-myeclipse-blue-9-1/

    Sorry for the inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience.

    Brian,

    Just wanted to let you know that we upgraded from 9.0a to 9.1 and then applied the patch you posted and all is well and remote deployment on WebSphere works perfectly again. Thank you!

    We have one last annoying issue when remotely deploying to WebSphere 7.x using MyEclipse 9.1 (with the blue deployment patch installed, and BTW this issue happens with all previous 8.x versions as well.)

    We set up a virtual host (named “dev_host”) in the WebSphere application.xml file however no matter what we try, MyEclipse continues to deploy to “default_host” rather than “dev_host”.

    Since we have two developers deploying to the same box, we have “default_host” set to port 9080 and “dev_host” on 9090. When the deployment completes MyEclipse indicates it was successful, however the application is not running and we have to open the WebSphere admin console, change the “virtual hosts” dropdown from “default_host” back to “dev_host” and then the application will start and run properly.

    It’s just a real pain to have to do this everytime you do a re-deployment. Appreciate any advice or update which would correct this situation.

    Respectfully,
    Jeff

    Jeff,

    Just to make sure we are exactly on the same page here, can you send me your application.xml file? (Or at least the relevant portions of it).

    You can mail it to support@genuitec.com with a link to this thread or PM me.

    We’ll definitely take a look at this, however I cannot promise a fix in time for the upcoming 10.0 and 9.1.1. releases (we are too close to the end).

    Please feel free to complain about any other issues you have with Blue, especially annoyances like this; we are committed to making it work for you!
