Hi,
I am using Websphere WSAD 5.0 and WAS 5.0 on Windows XP machine.
I developed and tested a EJB application using WSAD 5.0 on the Test server within WSAD and generated the RMIC code and then exported the EAR to the installableApps folder on the WAS. Then I used the admin tool to install the application by browsing and select the EAR. I am getting the following errors.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The file is not valid EAR/WAR/JAR file.
APPW0004E Application install or modify bindings action for the chosen application failed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I saw few older postings in this forum and tried those solutions like changing the DTD version in deployment descriptor, but it did not work.
I browsed IBM site for error APPW0004E, there was no proper documentation.
Did any one encounter similar issue recently?
I followed the exact instructions mentioned in the book "Developing J2EE Applications with IBMWebsphere Studio" published by IBM, but the installation part on WAS does not seem to work.

Also, I tried using AAT tool, it gave the errors
