I would often hit the following errors when deploying an App in Weblogic 9.2:

  • Unable to access the selected application.
  • Exception in AppMerge flows’ progression

Baffled, I almost gave up – the errors mean nothing.

Thankfully trial and error (and plenty of web searching) I have discovered that the errors are caused by invalid deployment descriptors or invalid WAR/EARs (an empty WAR or EAR will cause these errors immediately). So don’t fret, it’s not the end of the world!

First check your web.xml, application.xml and then ensure the contents of the WAR/EAR are as expected – APP-INF, META-INF only for the latter!

Hope that helps someone, it annoyed me for a while!

It’s scattered everywhere; I’m sure you’ve seen it. Yet no matter what codebase you’re looking at, there’s never any real exposure to them.

I therefore decided to implement an Ant Task for parsing TODOs in source code. You can read more about it over on the Google Code project. Please feel free to review code, suggest features or try it out and report a bug.

Happy new year to all; many happy returns.

See you in 2010!
