Can't deploy web app with resource: New source location

Question

          I can't deploy a web app (.war) if I already have a resource (.rar) deployed, weblogic
          7.0 reports
          weblogic.management.ManagementException: New source location, C:\projects\j2ee\dev\ra\dist\rware.war,
          cannot be deployed to configured application, rware. Application source is at
          C:\projects\j2ee\dev\ra\dist.
               at weblogic.management.deploy.DeployerRuntime.validatePath(DeployerRuntime.java:786)
               at weblogic.management.deploy.DeployerRuntime.unprotectedActivate(DeployerRuntime.java:319)
               at weblogic.management.deploy.DeployerRuntime.access$0(DeployerRuntime.java:282)
               at weblogic.management.deploy.DeployerRuntime$1.run(DeployerRuntime.java:947)
          The resource works ok, and the web app does not use or reference
          the resource (it's a simple servlet that just displays a message), so why is there
          an interdependence?
          

Answer 1

          Thanks! We'll follow up on this.
