Description tjahnsen 2009-07-27 09:49:45 UTC

I have a Java Enterprise Application project. It contains a WAR project and an EJB project. The WAR project uses
ICEFaces, and are set to package the ICEFaces libraries in /WEB-INF/lib/. In addition, the WAR and EJB project
references another JAR project, without packaging, which the Enterprise Application packages in /lib/.

All projects are set to deploy on GlassFish 2.1. I can deploy the EJB project and the WAR project, but when I try to
deploy the Enterprise Application, it throws an exception - it cannot find the class FileArchive.

This is the complete stack trace from the Output window:

BUILD FAILED (total time: 0 seconds)


It was using NetBeans 6.5.1 when I started the project. I recreated the projects, and the start-up project you are given
deploys without the error. I tried to update to NB 6.7, both Java SE with installing EE modules later, and the Full Java
version, with a new GlassFish, as well as recreating the projects again. Still the error comes when I deploy the
Enterprise Application.

GlassFish are able to deploy the application. If I use the admin page for GlassFish, or the autodeploy folder, the
application is loaded - it is only NetBeans' Deploy or Run actions that fail.

Best regards,
Thomas Jahnsen

Looks like GF issue...

Comment 2 Vince Kraemer 2011-01-03 19:08:05 UTC

It looks like this fell through the cracks.

Can you still replicate this issue with recent builds of NetBeans (like 7.0 Beta or a recent dev build)?

Can you provide detailed instructions that will help me reproduce it?
   
I have tried to replicate the issue, but haven't been able to... so it seems like this may be:

1. Solved by a code change that has already been applied to the code, OR
2. There was a problem with the v2 install, OR
3. I haven't created the exact environment that the user has... because I have done 'something different'

If you have a sample project that demonstrates the issue that you can share, that would be very helpful, too.

Comment 3 Vince Kraemer 2011-01-11 20:09:31 UTC

I have not been able to reproduce with a recent 7.0 build... Since I don't have enough info from the filer to feel like my test strategy matched their situation, I am closing this issue as incomplete.

Filer: if you can provide advice about how to reproduce this issue please add that info and reopen the issue.
