Hi People,
First of all, do we have a dedicated forum for WebSphere? As I dont find any, posting it in the one and only available forum "Java"!
We do face a strange scenario in WAS 6.0 in AIX box. The actual purpose of ND (Network Deployment) does NOT get saved here as we do NOT have any cluster. We do have all the profiles (Deployment Manager - dmgr, individual server profiles) all in the same/single box. We do have a IBM HTTP Server to route the requests to Application Server.
During upgradation, instead of uninstalling the existing version of the EAR file, we are insisted to keep it in stopped condition and we do a fresh installation of the newer version of EAR. Of course with a different name to have a separate folder when it gets extracted. So if at all some issue happens with the newer version, we just stopped the new one and start the older one - as a toggling mode.
Now the issue is, the installation of the new EAR is successful and we do get the message in the console. But when starting the application, it bombs! It says that 'META-INF/application.xml ' is not found with the LoadDeploymentD escriptor. When I searched in the file structure, the appropriate folder structure in the installedApps is missing! . The the same was working fine till now. All of a sudden it throws an error!
I have been trying out with several work arounds for a couple of days, but i am unable to get through. As it is in our Production Environment, I really can't play around much with it.
Have any of you faced this scenario ? Any suggestions? Kindly let me know if you need any further inputs.
Thanks in advance!

We don't have a dedicated WAS forum. The Java forum is not a bad choice for them either.
I did face the same problem on jboss with one application that I was trying to install. The boring thing was that sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't. In the instances that it failed, I had to manually copy the ear into the deploy folder myself and touch the application.xml to force it to redeploy the application. Not sure if the same hack works on WAS but even then a more stable solution would be best.

Thank you r035198x ! Good that the post was not in an inappropriate forum.
Thank you for the reply. But dealing with the contents/folders manually is a good and suggested idea? If so how long we should keep doing it? But I do get the installation successful. The error comes only during the starting of application.
Any idea?
It is not a good idea at all as I have indicated above.
Do you mean that the error appears even if you have manually copied the ear directory to the installedApps folder?
Coming back to the problem, are you sure there are no empty class-path entries on the deployment descriptor and which IDE are you using, RAD?

Thank you r035198x! Nope I have NOT yet tried the manual copying as there are many other related files involved (was.policy, some other bnd.xml files etc.,).
I am as such a WAS Admin and all what I am given is an EAR file. Moreover the same fashion was working fine till sometime back. That's what I am wondering!
My attempt in doing the manual copy operation is succeeded :) I have manually copied the complete folder structure as that of the earlier EAR version as there are no much changes and for simulation sake I tried it. It worked :)
But not sure how long is this gonna work or should we keep doing it! Anyways trying to figure out a permanent solution. let me try my luck !!
It could all simply a problem with the uncompressing of the files. Which platform are you running the server on?
Is that so? I don't think so. Otherwise, it should have been successful as we generally do NOT get involved in such built-in activities (extraction into folder structure). Right?
We use AIX with WAS 6.0.

I had a simple .NET application successfully developed and deployed to a
production environment.
Out client required another application, which is slightly different from
the first application.
So I basically use the first application to develop the second application.
I have successfully deployed the second application in my development PC, and
it works absolutely fine. So I decided to deploy the application in the
production.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
