Troubleshooting


Problem

Web Preview Server proxy is broken in IBM Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software 8.5 and WebSphere Application Server Developer Tools for Eclipse 8.5 resuling in the exception "java.io.FileNotFoundException: SRVE0190E:.." thrown by com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.webapp.WebAppErrorReport and no proxy URL redirect occur.

Proxy mappings cab be invoked thru the following URL:
