IV90440: UNABLE TO DEPLOY THE ANYWHERE 7.6.1 RUNTIME ON WEBSPHERE 7

APAR status

• Closed as change to accomodate OEM Vendor's code.

Error description

• Maximo Anywhere 7.6.1 runtime can't be download on WebSphere 7
  using the MaximoAnywhere2-4.war
  
  Steps to reproduce
  
  1.  On an environment with WebSphere 7 run build build-war to
  create your runtime war file.
  
  2. Open the configuration tool, point to the 2.4 servlet war
  MaximoAnywhere2-4.war and click deploy.
  
  The deployment will fail with the following error.
  
   00000000 AbstractShell E   WASX7120E: Diagnostic information

Local fix

• After your war file is built extract the web.xml from the
  MaximAnywhere2-4.war and open it in a text editor.  Replace the
  line at the top of the file as noted below
  
  Replace:
  
  
  <web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  id="WebApp_ID"
  version="2.4"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee
  http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd">
  
  with
  
  <web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  id="WebApp_ID"
  version="2.5"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee
  http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_5.xsd">
  
  
  Then put the web.xml back in the MaximoAnywhere-2-4.war and
  attempt to deploy the runtime.

Problem conclusion

• WebSphere 7 no longer supports the Web 2.4 xml schema, need to
  update to 2.5.  Tomcat 7 also supports this 2.5 so we can just
  change the schema.  Manually update your
  MaximoAnywhere-2.4.war's web.xml to point to 2.5 instead of 2.4
  or pickup the latest iFix for 761 to receive this fix.
