I have a pre-built war file that I wish to install into RAD 6.0 light-weight
WAS 5.1
test server using the admin console.
Attempting to install the application into a
clean, running Websphere Test Environment v5.1 Server using the admin console throws the following exceptions:
Exception 1
ConfigurationWarning: Failed to open C:\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\com.ibm.wtp.server.core\configs\06_03_07_9_27_AM2-data\cells\localhost\applications\e3_war.ear\deployments\e3_war
Exception 2
DeploymentDescriptorLoadException: META-INF/application.xml
Exception 3
com.ibm.etools.archive.exception.ArchiveRuntimeException: Invalid binaries path: C:\workspace/localhost/e3_war.ear
Exception 3 seems to be the cause of all the problems but where do you define the binary paths so that this will work? I saw a lot of people on the web had this problem but there is no solution for it. It looks like just another error in Websphere Test Environment server that can not be fixed.
Where do you log a error like this for IBM to ignore?
What I know this far about the error the EAR file is not correctly unpacked when you install it. Look your application has been installed under the <your workspace>\.metadata\.plugins\com.ibm.wtp.server.core\configs\06_03_07_9_27_AM2-data\cells\localhost\applications<you installed ear> and you will see the EAR was not extracted correctly there is no class files!!
On the admin console under Enterprise Applications the Application Binaries value on the first page is also wrong.
I do not know how to fix this. Does Anybody have any idea or know of a fix pack that will resolve this issue?
Thanks for any help in advance.
