PK54725: RAD 7 INIFINITE AUTO REPUBLISH

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In RAD v7, an application with SQLj support enabled will cause
  auto republish to be triggered infinitely over and over again.
  
  The main problem stems from Eclipse WTP server tools bug 152146:
  https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=152146
  
  The problem is happening because ejbdeploy is being run
  every time on a publish due to SQLj support being enabled
   - this is an error as it is not properly handling the
  incremental nature.  Due to the bug mentioned above, if code is
  generated every time (i.e. if incremental deploy is OFF) then
  the infinite publishing will occur.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All users that are publishing Enterprise     *
  *                 Java Bean (EJB) applications utilizing       *
  *                 SQLj functionality to a WebSphere            *
  *                 Application Server runtime.                  *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When publishing an application to a     *
  *                      WebSphere Application Server the        *
  *                      publishing framework gets in an         *
  *                      infinite loop as a result of the EJB    *

  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  As part of the EJB Deploy code generation process to determine
  if an incremental deploy or full deploy should be done, the
  Function Set class is checked to see if it has been modified.
  In the case where SQLj has been enabled the function set class
  does not exist and this causes a FileNotFoundException which
  is then translated into EJB Deploy requiring a full deploy.
  Since EJB Deploy is run as part of publishing and does a full
  deploy every time then due to Eclipse WTP server tools defect
  152146 the the publishing framework gets into an infinite
  publishing loop.
  

Problem conclusion

• EJB Deploy has been corrected so that it will no longer check
  for the existence of the FunctionSet class when deploying an
  EJB project that has SQLj enabled so that it does not attempt
  a full code generation everytime, but rather it will be
  incremental.  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for
  inclusion into the Rational Application Developer v7.0.0.6 and
  WebSphere Application Server Toolkit v6.1.1.6 fixpacks.
