How to add an ear to WAS 8.5 in RAD 8.5?

Question

I have four projects in my RAD 8.5 work space which imported from a piff file :

• A java project

• An ejb project

• A JPA project

• An EJB project

They are deployed through an ear called prj.ear, which also i imported from the piff zip.

I have to deploy them in WAS 8.5 . But when i try to add that ear in my WAS 8.5 , I get this prompt there are no resources that can be added or removed from the server. I have no idea how to solve this .. Any suggestions will be welcome..

Answer 1

I got the answer to my vexing problem. The reason , it was not working is that , the web project first needs to be added to the ear, which is done following the steps below :

EAR > right-click > Properties > Project References.

And voila, now when you try to add or remove your project ear, it will start working perfectly.

Check for deployment descriptor of your parent as well as subproject ear, war, jar files, application.xml and web.xml. Server is failing to search them and thats why no resource.
