PK57070: LOOSECONFIG.XMI NOT PROPERLY CREATED WHEN USING EJB PROJECTS AS WEB LIBRARY

Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software, Version 7.0.0.6
Rational Software Architect, Version 7.0.0.6

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• NoClassDefFoundError at runtime when using Web Libraries instead
  of MANIFEST.MF due to looseconfig.xmi file not being created
  properly. It seems that when you use EJB projects as web
  library projects, the logic fails to resolve the correct
  directory for where the output folder of the EJB project
  is and therefore the classes are never found by the
  runtime.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All users of the v5.1 WebSphere Test         *
  *                 Environment running applications that        *
  *                 consist of Enterprise Java Bean (EJB)        *
  *                 modules as Web Library projects.             *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The looseconfig.xmi file does not       *
  *                      contain the correct path to the         *
  *                      output folder of the EJB modules        *
  *                      configured as Web library projects.     *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The output directory for the EJB modules configured as web
  library projects in the looseconfig.xmi file was the output
  folder of the corresponding web project.  Therefore, the
  WebSphere Application Server runtime was unable to locate the
  classes from the EJB module as these class files do not reside
  in the dynamic web projects output folder.
  

Problem conclusion

• The correct EJB project output directory will not be added to
  the looseconfig.xmi file when the EJB module has been
  configured as a Web library project.  The fix for this APAR is
  currently scheduled for inclusion into the Rational
  Application Developer v7.0.0.6 fixpack.
