Resin fails to deploy EAR

Question

Hi,
I am trying to deploy the .ear using resin 3.0.10. & JDK 1.5
I kept the ear file in deploy directory.
[14:13:36.843] com.caucho.xml.XmlParseException: META-INF/application.xml:2: id="Application_ID" is an unexpected attribute in <application>.
[14:13:36.843][14:13:36.843] <application> syntax: (<icon>?, <display-name>,<description>?, <module>+, <security-role>*)my application.xml is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE application PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD J2EE Application 1.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/application_1_3.dtd">
<application id="Application_ID">
<display-name>XYZ</display-name>
<module id="EjbModule_1079974390175">
<ejb>testEjb.jar</ejb>
</module>
<module id="WebModule_1079974390175">
<web>
<web-uri>testWeb.war</web-uri>
<context-root>XYZ</context-root>
</web>
</module>
</application>
I am struggling for last 3 hrs.
Any hint will be appriciated .
THanx in advance

Answer 1

The error message is rather epxlciit about the
reason. Try to leave out id="Application_ID".
<application>
<display-name>XYZ</display-name>
</application>
After removing the ID its working fine...
But the same EAR works fine with WAS/JBOSS.
Is there any specific reson for Resin strictly checking on this attribute (I am aware that its not available in DTD also). How can i make Resin ignore this so that my EAR will be portable??
Thanx
