PI38325: IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DEPLOY A JAVA ADAPTER WITH MORE THAN ONE .XML FILE

Rational Quality Manager 6.0
IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation Interim Fix README for 7.0

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The deployment system used to validate that there is only one
  xml file in an adapter filesystem. This validation is not good
  for Java adapters since Java code can contain many xml resources
  and we should not limit the developer regarding the # of xmls.
  

Local fix

• It is possible to put the xml resources inside a JAR and put
  this jar in the "lib" folder of the adapter.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * When trying to deploy a Java adapter with more than one xml  *
  * file, the deployment fails with the following message:       *
  * "Adapters can not contain more than one XML file"            *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  * -                                                            *

Problem conclusion

• There was a non accurate validation that adapter can contain
  only one xml file. The validation has been changed so that the
  adapter should have only one XML file in it's root folder but in
  other folders it can have many XML files. Since all the
  configuration XML files in Java adapters should be in the "src"
  folder it works fine now.
