PK67673: CHANGING THE JAVA COMPILER COMPLIANCE LEVEL FROM 5.0 TO 1.4 THROWS DUPLICATE RESOURCE REFERENCE ERROR.

Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software, Version 7.0.0.8

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• While migrating an exiting Rational Application Developer V6
  application into Rational Application Developer 7006, the
  resource reference defined in the deployment descriptor gets
  regenerated and becomes a duplicate with the existing entry.
  
  To reproduce the problem, please follow the steps below:
  1.Import the PI file
  2.Ignore all error messages
  3.Change the Java Compiler compliance level from 5.0 to 1.4;
  RAD->Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Compiler -> Java Compiler
  compliance level
  4.Click OK.
  5.Wait for the automatic build to be completed. Then the
  CHKJ3013E error will shows up in the problems view.
  

Local fix

• Workaround:
  Delete the old resource reference and keeping the newly
  generated resource reference. The error will goes away.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of WebSphere Application Server   *
  *                  Toolkit v6.1.1 and Rational Application     *
  *                  Developer v7.0                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The annotation builder causes a         *
  *                      duplicate enterprise beans resource     *
  *                      reference to be added to the            *
  *                      ejb-jar.xml file.                       *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When the annotation builder runs it will cause a duplicate
  resource reference entry to be added to the EJB deployment
  descriptor (ejb-jar.xml).  This will lead to a CHKJ3013E
  validation error in the Problems view as a result of there
  being a duplicate resource reference with the same resource
  reference name.
  

Problem conclusion

• The annotation builder cleans the entire EJB deployment
  descriptor and rebuilds it everytime that it is run, however,
  it was missing the logic to purge the existing resource
  references.  A fix has been added to ensure that resource
  references are removed before being reconstructed.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  the WebSphere Application Server Toolkit fixpack 6.1.1.8 and
  Rational Application Developer fixpack 7.0.0.8.  Please refer
