deploytool BMP unable to update - Anybody lend me a hammer?
Dear readers,
OK, so I successfully deployed a simple client-BMP app using the deploytool where the primary key was a String. I am packaging and deploying using deploytool and J2EE and then closing them and running the application on JBoss. Happy memories.
I then altered the BMP to have its own primary key. Here the problems start - the deploytool verifier refuses to recognise that the new BMP has a primary key class. The verifier first gives out a PubIdLiteral test failure (whatever that may be) and also complains that the findByPrimaryKey method does not return EJB primary key.
If I ignore these errors and then deploy the app., I now get java.io.InvalidClassException where the Client.jar serialVersionID is different from the server classes.
Also if I run serialVer tool, I can specify my primary key class EVEN though I haven't made it visible in the classpath.
To me it looks like deploytool is creating phantom versions of the original application and is ignoring the new one. I can see that deploytool created many little new files all over the joint when I use it This is driving me nuts. I can see the primary key class in the deploytool panels.And have reinstalled j2ee and jboss, deleted old .ear files with no luck.
Where am I going wrong?
thanks in advance for your helpful replies.
