Cause

This issue has been identified as a product defect and has been logged under APAR PK85674.

The change in JDK caused incompatibility between Rational Application Developer and IBM WebSphere Application Server during a RMIC call.

Environment

Rational Application Developer 7.0.0.x with WebSphere Application Server 6.1.0.23

Diagnosing The Problem

After running Prepare for deployment or publishing a project to WebSphere Application Server v6.1, the view Error Log and the file <workspace>/.metadata/.log contain the exception described in the symptom.

Resolving The Problem

There are two solutions for this issue.

  1. Stay on your version of Rational Application Developer

    Use the JDK 1.5.0 SR9 and launch the ejbdeploy called during the Prepare for deployment within Rational Application Developer in a separate process.

    Steps:
    1. Upgrade the SDK within WebSphere Application Server to at least version 1.5.0 Service Release 9. See the link Recommended fixes for WebSphere Application Server at the end of this technote.
    2. Open the file eclipse.ini found within the installation directory (by default C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP70) with an editor. Add the line -DEJBDEPLOY_SYSTEM_CALL_RMIC=true in a new line after the line -vmargs
    3. Call Prepare for deployment within Rational Application Developer

  2. Upgrade to Rational Application Developer 7.0.0.9 or later
A new user preference J2EE > WebSphere Application Server > Always Run RMIC in a separate process will resolve this incompatibility.
