Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software, Version 7.5.2
Rational Software Architect Standard Edition, Version 7.5.2

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Using Rational Application Developer 7.0.0.6
  
  Given an EAR project with already built WAR and JAR files placed
   in the EAR project main directory, during deployment to a BEA W
  ebLogic server, the exported EAR is stripped of WAR and JAR file
  s.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Create new EAR project:
    Name: EAR
    Target Runtime: Generic BEA WebLogic Server 8.1
    Facets: EAR 1.3
  2. Import -? J2EE -? Utility JAR file
    EAR Project: EAR (created in step 1)
    Select an existing EJB.jar module
    Check 'Copy Utility JARs into an existing EAR from an external
   location
    Notice that EJB.jar was copied to EAR project
  3. Edit EAR/META-INF/application.xml to contain:
    ...
    ?module?
      ?ejb?EJB.jar?/ejb?
    ?/module?
    ...
  4. In servers view, add project to WebLogic 8.1 and Publish
  5. Observe C:\bea\weblogic81\samples\domains\workshop\applicatio
  ns
    Notice that EAR.jar contains only
    META-INF  META-INF\application.xml
    META-INF\MANIFEST.MF
  
  I'd expect that exported EAR contains also EJB.jar module but it
  's not.
  
  I have noticed that if step 3 is omitted, EJB.jar is added to EA
  R, but as it is not a Mudule in the application.xml the ear is n
  ot usable.
  

Local fix
