WLS 8.1 issue with .ear deployment ....

Question

I think the weblogic8.1 seems to have some NEW bug now. We have a .ear file that
works just PERFECT in WLS6.1. But now when we try to DEPLOY this .ear file our
WLS8.1 server(via the new look and feel of WLS8.1' console)....we are getting
the Exception like ...."pl read inline below":
...All i know is that WLS 8.1 has introduced something like : "single J2EEC -
EAR compiler, replacing the separate compilers in previous releases" ........is
it may be because of this ????
If somebody has any idea ....please let me know asap ...and just above the EXCEPTION
we are also getting something like ...."Deployment descriptor "/WEB-INF/ups-html.tld"
is malformed" ....what is going wrong now ?
Please note again ....this .ear file just work PERFECT in WLS6.1+sp2.
Read inline for the Exception:

Yes, your $CLASSPATH could be the issue. Can you show me the $CLASSPATH
used in each version of the server?

Thanks Rob, I understood changing the DOCTYPE ...and i will give ita try.
And iam assuming you might have read my previous response in this chain,Iam using
WLS6.1 & WLS8.1 BOTH on the same hardware unix server....iam just wonderingif
there is any CLASSPATH issue that might have been causing this NoClassDefFoundError......?
just wanted to let you know that iam running WLS6.1 + WLS8.1 on thesame BOX.
I will try other options that you have suggested ....thanks again !

Right, you're referencing the Taglib 1.2 DTD, but your tld file conforms
to the Taglib 1.1 DTD. You'll either need to change the DOCTYPE
definition to the Taglib 1.1 DTD or change the tld file to conformto
the 1.2 DTD. how do i do either of the 2 options ?To change your taglib to be the 1.1 DTD you just need to change the
DOCTYPE header to be
<!DOCTYPE taglib
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JSP Tag Library 1.1//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd">
Otherwise, you'll need to change the tld file to be JSP 1.2 compliant.
If you post your tld file here, then I can help.
Iam just guessing here, is it may be due to this DTD/.tld issue thatiam not been
able to DEPLOY the .ear file(now that wls8.1 checks the validity beforedeloying
the app)....are the 2 errors that iam getting, in any ways inter-related?
I'm not sure they're related. It is possible.
i.e is it possible that due to DTD/.tld ....am i getting this NoClassDefFoundError
JUST CURIOUS ???
WELL THANKS FOR YOUR TIME ON THIS ...REALLY APPRECIATE IT !
No problem.

2) the MANIFEST.MF file is located within the ABL.war.
3) I will try placing the struts-util.jar in the WEB-INF/lib directoryof the
ABL.war file. And I will let you if it works or not ?Right. My guess is this is a bug in WLS 8.1. I can see no reasonwhy
the manifest class-path isn't working for you. That's why I askedif
you could send the EAR file so I could investigate, but I understand
that's not always possible.
I suspect the WEB-INF/lib will work, but it's just a workaround.
I'm
not sure if you're using 8.1 or 8.1SP1, but if you're not using SP1,
then you might consider trying that. (java weblogic.version willtell
you.)
Otherwise, I think you should open a case with [email protected]

against the JSP 1.2 tld. I suspect that you have not declareda
DOCTYPE
and 6.1 defaulted to the older JSP spec.
Anyway, check the first line of your tld file. It should look
something
like this:
<!DOCTYPE taglib
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JSP Tag Library 1.1//EN"
     "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd">
I have an ABL.ear file and this is what it looks like:
ABL.ear
META-INF/
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
ABL.jar
ABL.war
lib/
lib/struts-util.jar
META-INF/application.xml
and in the ABL.war ...there is a META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file ...and
when
i open
this file ...this is what it contains:Just to double-check, the MANIFEST.MF file is located within the
ABL.war, right?
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: Ant 1.4.1
Class-Path: lib/struts-util.jar
there is nothing in the CLASSPATH that contains this application'sspecific .jar/.war
...or any classes specific to this application ........BOTH IN
WLS6.1(and
now
in WLS8.1)Hmm, I'm not sure yet what the problem is here. Does it work ifyou
place the struts-util.jar in the WEB-INF/lib directory of the ABL.war
file? (I suspect it will.)
This might be a WLS bug. If you can post your ear file here (oremail
it to me rwoollen at bea dot com), then I can dig into it more.

It looks like there are 2 errors.
The first error /WEB-INF/ups-html.tld is most likely the result
of
WLS
8.1 doing more validation on your tld file. If you'd show us
either
the
entire ups-html.tld or just the part around line 334, then wecan
help.
As for the NoClassDefFoundError, you'll have to provide some
more
details about your ear file and environment. Do you have anythingin
the $CLASSPATH on either the 6.1 or 8.1 environments?

I think the weblogic8.1 seems to have some NEW bug now. We have
a
.ear
file that
works just PERFECT in WLS6.1. But now when we try to DEPLOY
this
.ear
file our
WLS8.1 server(via the new look and feel of WLS8.1' console)....we
are
getting
the Exception like ...."pl read inline below":
...All i know is that WLS 8.1 has introduced something like
"single
J2EEC -
EAR compiler, replacing the separate compilers in previous releases"........is
it may be because of this ????
If somebody has any idea ....please let me know asap ...and
just
above
the EXCEPTION
we are also getting something like ...."Deployment descriptor
"/WEB-INF/ups-html.tld"
is malformed" ....what is going wrong now ?
Please note again ....this .ear file just work PERFECT in WLS6.1+sp2.
