WSAD 5.1.1 - "EAR Validation failed"

[Sean Sullivan]

I am using Websphere Studio Application Developer 5.1.1
on Windows 2000.
I have two projects in my workspace:
Foo (a Dynamic web application project)
FooEAR (an Enterprise application project)
I want to rebuild FooEAR using the "Rebuild project" menu option.
When I execute a rebuild, Websphere Studio's Tasks window
displays this error message:
CHKJ1000E: EAR Validation failed: com.ibm.etools.archive.exception.ArchiveRuntimeException
What could cause this error?

[Sean Sullivan]

Note: these two projects were imported using WSAD's File --> Import
On the Import dialog, I selected "Existing Project Into Workspace"

[Sean Sullivan]

The "Project Rebuild" is logging an error message into
the workspace's .log file
This is what I see in the .log file:

I have a theory. I suspect that WSAD is failing due to
the .modulemaps file
The .modulemaps file maps from the EAR project to any
web module projects.
My .modulesmaps file contains this entry:
<module xmi:type="application:WebModule" href="META-INF/application.xml#WebModule_1070235942812"/>
I suspect that this entry is bogus and/or erroneous.

Sean,
In the J2EE view, you can see what modules WSAD thinks are associated with your EAR. You can also try deleting and readding the association this way.

This is a bug in WSAD 5.1.1
This bug is fixed in WebSphere Studio Application Developer v5.1.1 Interim Fix 002
You can download the fix at
http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24006510
The bug occurs if your Web project contains a file that has no extension.
For example, a file named "README" would cause the EAR validation error message.

Hi,

Could anyone tell me how to fix this issue of CHKJ1000E: EAR Validation failed:
> com.ibm.etools.archive.exception.ArchiveRuntimeException.

Also how to fix the new build given by IBM for this fix http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24006510

Regards,
Midhila
