It does seem odd.

PMR has now been raised but here is a bit more detail for those interested, here is the issue:
I have 3 projects:
1 message flow project (containing the main flow) (MAIN_PROJECT)
1 message flow project which contains common sub flows (LIBRARY)
1 Java project (which contains the Java code and libraries used by a Java compute node in on of the subflows used by the main flow) (JAVA_LIBRARY)
1. If I create a new bar file using the toolkit I end up with a bar file with the following contents:
lib/
META-INF/
JAVA_LIBRARY.jar
MESSAGEFLOW1.cmf
where the lib/ folder is actually the lib folder from the Java project, and the JAVA_LIBRARY.jar file is a jarred up copy of the Java project. This bar file deploys ok and has no errors.
2. If I use the mqsicreatebar command to build this same bar file
C:/Program Files/IBM/MessageBrokersToolkit/6.0/eclipse\mqsicreatebar.exe" -data C:/tmp_workspace -b C:/tmp_workspace/deployables/mqsicreated.bar -cleanBuild -p LIBRARY JAVA_LIBRARY MAIN_PROJECT -o MAIN_PROJECT/MESSAGEFLOW1.msgflow
I get a bar file with the following contents:
lib/
META-INF/
MESSAGEFLOW1.cmf
where the JAVA_LIBRARY.jar file has not been included in the bar and the deployment of this bar file fails with
"BIP4368S: The method 'setAttribute' has thrown the following exception: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mycompany.somejavapackage.somejavaclass.
The Java API framework has caught an unhandled Java exception.
Contact the node provider for further details."
When I look at the service.log file in the META-INF folder I see the message:
"Resource JAVA_LIBRARY.jar was not added to the BAR file because it was not found in the workspace nor found built in metadata. This resource may be required by the
broker because it contains java dependencies for a flow to be deployed in this BAR. If actually required and java project is to be found in worskpace, you can force a build on this project and then retry adding the flow to this BAR. You can also deploy a JAR resource containing these dependencies from the tooling adding it manually to a BAR file or copying it directly to the broker."
3. so if I then manually create the JAVA_LIBRARY.jar file before building the bar and add this to the workspace (at the root of the JAVA_LIBRARY project and rebuild the bar using mqsicreatebar again,
I get a bar file with the following contents:
META-INF/
JAVA_LIBRARY.jar
MESSAGEFLOW1.cmf
where this time the lib directory is missing from the bar file and deployment again fails but now with
"BIP4500E: Failed to deploy Java code resource 'JAR'. The Java stack trace is: 'com.ibm.broker.javacompute.MbRuntimeJavaComputeNode.createJavaComputeNode(Native Method) com.ibm.broker.javacompute.MbRuntimeJavaComputeNode.updateNodeClass(MbRuntimeJavaComputeNode.java:251) com.ibm.broker.javacompute.MbRuntimeJavaComputeNode.updateNodeClass(MbRuntimeJavaComputeNode.java:197) com.ibm.broker.javacompute.MbRuntimeJavaComputeNode.setJavaClass(MbRuntimeJavaComputeNode.java:179)'
The Java JAR file deployment to the broker failed.
This is an internal error. Contact your IBM support center."
So as you can see the toolkit creation of the bar file behaves differently than the mqsicreatebar command and so I get deployment errors when trying to script my build/deployments. |

Again, upgrade your Toolkit.

| I'm on 6.0.2 although not sure what fix packs/release were installed to get it to this level. How do I find this out (I'm behind a firewall so online updates don't work)? |

You should be on at least iFix 11, and all the way up to iFix 13 is not a bad idea.

Who isn't behind a firewall these days?? 
Ask Mr Google about "WMB toolkit cumulative interim fix" and follow the instructions.

The mqsicreatebar command says:
| Quote: |
ProjectName
(Optional) Projects containing files to include in the bar file. You can specify multiple projects, which can include a message flow project, a message set project, or a message flow plug-in node project. |
So, it does not handle java projects?
I would say this is not acceptable and there should be an enhancement. In the meantime, I would use the ant jar tasks to add the java project to your bar file.
The ant tasks and commands for WAS also launch eclipse in a headless workspace and have had various problems, this has turned a lot of people away from WAS to other products that are easier to deploy with. |

| I'm seeing the exact same issue. I'm wondering have you heard back from IBM on this subject yet? |

Hi,
yes I heard back from them but the problem was fixed by upgrading the toolkit to the latest iFix (13). I closed the PMR but gave them this info:
"When we had PC's with the toolkit at v 6.0.2 (iFix11) we got the error detailed, but when I upgraded to iFix 13 the error went away. It should also be noted that when I used a PC with the toolkit at 6.0.0.1 we didn't see the error so it must have been introduced in either the 6.02 update or the iFix11 update."
Hope that sorts it for you. |
