ClassNotFoundExceptions after Installing EAR file

After Installing the EAR file through the admin console, when I try to start the application, I am getting ClassNotFoundExceptions in the SystemOut.log file. It turns out that the AppNameEJB.jar file which contains the classes is not getting installed in the server \"installedApps/AppNameEAR.ear\" directory. This may point to a bad deployment descriptor for the EAR. How do I tell the app server to install the jar file when it is installing the app.

WAS 5.0.2 Network Deployment
WSAD 5.0.1 IE

Thanx in advance!

Praveen,

Is it api class or your own written class?
Make sure that you added the jar(which contains the missed class) file in your Manifest file.

If possible paste the entire error here.

Vasu garu,

Its a custom class. The problem is, WAS is not installing the EAR Manifest.mf file in the META-INF directory and it is not installing the JAR files in the Class path of that Manifest.mf file. The application.xml file is also not getting installed in the META-INF directory!

I don\'t know why!!

Here is the actual application.xml code:

[code:1]
<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" ?>
<!DOCTYPE application (View Source for full doctype...)>
- <application id=\"Application_ID\">
<display-name>WTS_ProdDeployEAR</display-name>
- <module id=\"WebModule_1085586625257\">
- <web>
<web-uri>WTS_ProdDeployWeb.war</web-uri>
<context-root>WTS_ProdDeployWeb</context-root>
</web>
</module>
- <module id=\"EjbModule_1088549253784\">
<ejb>WTS_ProdDeployEJB.jar</ejb>
</module>
</application>
[/code:1]

My EAR file structure is as follows:

AppNameCOMMONCLASSES.jar
AppNameEJB.jar
AppNameCUSTOMCLASS.jar
Manifest.mf
.modulemaps
.project
.websettings
AppNameWeb.war
AppNameWeb.war/*.jar
AppNameWeb.war/*.gif
AppNameWeb.war/*.jsp
AppNameWeb.war/main.css
AppNameWeb.war/.classpath
AppNameWeb.war/js/*.js
AppNameWeb.war/WEB-INF/*.tld
AppNameWeb.war/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml
AppNameWeb.war/WEB-INF/ibm-web-bnd.xmi
AppNameWeb.war/WEB-INF/ibm-web-ext.xmi
AppNameWeb.war/WEB-INF/web.xml
AppNameWeb.war/META-INF/Manifest.mf
ibm-application-ext.xmi
application.xml

Your EAR File structure and app.xml file looks fine.

Can you check whether your manifest file contains all the necessary jar files.

Post the error message here..
