Deployment rollback from Windows to Solaris

[Mark Herschberg]

Here's a tricky problem (where tricky probably means: blindly obvious to people other than myself).
I have an EJB app which I created with JBuilder 8 on Win2000. We create the ear file and deploy it toa Weblogic 7.0 server on another Win2000 machine. It works great.
If I take the same app and try to deploy it to a Weblogic 7 server on a Solaris 5.8 machine, it doesn't work. I get the following issue:

C:\JBuilder8\jdk1.4\bin\javaw  -classpath C:\bea\weblogic700\server\lib\weblogic_sp.jar;C:\bea\weblogic700\server\lib\weblogic.jar;C:\bea\weblogic700\server\lib\webservices.jar; weblogic.Deployer  -user system  -adminurl <a href="http://alsafi.hbs.edu:7907" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://alsafi.hbs.edu:7907</a>  -password EJBlogic  -activate  -name SimTrade -upload  -source C:/Old_D_Drive/Projects/HBS/JBuilderFiles/SimTrade/SimTrade.ear -targets washington

Obviously, I think I have all the settings correct and the both servers are configured the same--but I've bene known to be wrong. Any ideas?

Are you trying to deploy thru JBuilder in both instances?
Have you tried to manually undeploy everything in the Solaris instance and redeploy? Make sure you delete the pesky .donotdelete folders also (just my personal WebLogic Voodoo fix).

[Mark Herschberg]

I have tried deploying both through JBuilder and through the Weblogic admin console. Both give the same error. I haven't yet tried your voodoo trick.
