Can't find bean in any scope Exception while running on websphere(WAS) 8.5

Question

I am trying to deploy a web service on WAS 8.5 and i am getting the following exception in the server log while starting the application. This service was running on WAS 7 previously.

Does anyone have any idea about this ?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I got the same error in Websphere 8.5.5.2 when trying to Update an EAR. During the update process in the WAS console, I went thru the steps too quickly and received an error telling me that the object is already loaded. I then did an uninstall/re-install of the EAR in question and after the install process was finished, I pressed start to activate the application, which resulted in an error message stating "XXXX failed to start. Check the logs for server server1 on node SVRXXXXNode01 for details. An error occurred while starting XXXX. Check the logs for server server1 on node SVRGIAS1VMTNode01 for more information."

To fix this issue in the WAS console, go into the Websphere Applications/Websphere enterprise applications and press enter on the named application in question. Under references, select Shared library references. press enter in the check box to the left, where the module states "web" and your application is in the URI column. In the "available" box, select the "SHRLIB_vxxx" and press the arrow to the right of it to add the shared lib to the "Selected" box. Press OK, then OK again. Press Save to the Master configuration. You are now back in the Enterprise applications page. Select the app in question and press start.

This should fix the issue if you have a Websphere-based system, version 8.5.5.2. Websphere version 7 did not have this issue, as it kept the shared library intact when installing an ear.
