Deployment of ear file - invalid file

Question

Hi,
i'm trying to deploy an ear file using the ANT wldeploy tasks.
The file contains
- ejb (separate jar for the client interfaces)
- jpa persistence
- webapp.
The app server is 10.3.3
I can deploy the ear via eclipse with no problems on my local server.
When i try and publish/deploy on a remote server i get an error [Caused by: weblogic.deployment.EnvironmentException: duplicate persistence units with name . . .]
Hence the attept to depoy via ant. This method fails even on my local server. Saying the (ear) file is invalid.
It seems that the 'publish' action in eclipse performs modifications on the ear that the simple file->export->ear in eclipse doesnt do.
I then tried to package the the environment in the split directory structure (up until then i just used the standard eclipse setup - multiple java/j2ee projects).
That attempt failed at the wlappc stage. ArrayIndexOutofRange exception.
Any ideas ?
thanks,
Michael

Answer 1

Hi Steve,
i've attached the stacktrace below.
It seems to me that the ear file is either unpacked incorrectly (ending up with two persistence xml files) or eclipse isn't packageing them the 'weblogic way'.
I found the cause of the ArrayIndexArrayOutofBounds exception when packageing with the wlappc task in the split directory setup: the references to the ejb and web modules in the application.xml have .jar/.war suffixes:
<module>
<ejb>ejbapp.jar</ejb>
removing these and the ear builds fine with wlcompile/wlappc. So i can package the ear using wlcompile/wlappc and deploy the ear manually via the admin console. unfortunately i still have to remove the suffixes. working on an xslt script to fix the suffixes.... :-)
cheers,
Michael
