EJB module build fails in EJBDeploy phase while executing wcbd-build in WebSpher

Problem(Abstract)

This technote explains an issue in the IBM Websphere Commerce environment where wcbd-build scripts fail in the EJBDeploy phase so the EJB module can not be built successfully.

Symptom

While executing wcbd-build in WebSphere Commerce v7.0, the following errors are seen while building the EJB module (WebSphereCommerceServerExtensionsData):

The full error message is as follows:

java.lang.NoSuchFieldError:

Cause

This is a known issue cause by two old data tool plugins that existed in "deploytools/itp/plugins/" directory:

• com.ibm.datatools.core_3.0.101.v200811190853.jar
• org.eclipse.datatools.modelbase.sql.query_1.0.1.v200811050430.jar
  

Resolving the problem

Remove the old data tool plugins:

 

1. Navigate to "deploytools/itp/plugins/" directory
   
   
2. Back up the following jar files:
   • com.ibm.datatools.core_3.0.101.v200811190853.jar
   • org.eclipse.datatools.modelbase.sql.query_1.0.1.v200811050430.jar
     
     
3. Remove the jar files from step #2 in the "deploytools/itp/plugins/" directory
   
   
4. Navigate to "/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/deploytool/itp/configuration"
   
   
5. Back up the "/configuration" directory
   
   
6. Delete all the files and directories within "/configuration" directory
   
   Note: Except "config.ini" if present.
   
   
7. Run wcbd-build again and verify the result.
