This fix pack contains new features, enhancements, and fixes to the version 7.0, version 7.0.0.1 and version 7.0.0.2 releases of IBM® Rational® Application Developer for WebSphere® Software.
For an updated version of this readme file, see the file available online at: http://download.boulder.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/rationalsdp/v7/rad/7003/docs/readme/readme.html
In addition, see the release notes for version 7.0 of this product to learn about its new features and any limitations or problems known at the time of its release. The release notes for version 7.0 are available at: http://download.boulder.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/rationalsdp/v7/rad/70/docs/readme/readme.html
This version also includes all enhancements and new features from the following fix packs:
This release of Rational Application Developer contains the following new features and enhancements:
The WebSphere Application Server V6.1 Feature Pack for Web Services extends the capabilities of WebSphere Application Server V6.1 to enable Web services messages to be sent asynchronously, reliably, and securely, focusing on interoperability with other vendors and to provide support for the Java API for XML Web Services (JAX-WS) 2.0 programming model.
The Feature Pack for Web Services introduces a set of Web services standards that support interoperable and reliable Web services applications. You can send messages asynchronously, which means that your messages can communicate reliably even if one of the parties is temporarily offline, busy, or not available. You can send messages securely and rest assured your messages are not vulnerable to attack. You can be confident that your communication is reliable and reaches its destination while interoperating with other vendors.
JAX-WS simplifies application development through a standard, annotation-based model to develop Web services applications and clients. A common set of binding rules for XML and Java objects make it easy to incorporate XML data and processing functions in Java applications; and a further set of enhancements help you send binary attachments, such as images or files, with the Web services request in an optimal way.
Simplified management using Web services profiles makes it easy to configure and reuse configurations, so you can introduce new Web Services profiles seamlessly in the future. These configurations are captured in a grouping called Policy Sets which allows you to select and associate different qualities of service with an application. You can configure policy sets to allow only those capabilities within a given WS-Interoperability (WS-I) profile, thereby limiting and ensuring that the only configurable portions are those that are desired. WS-I is an open industry organization chartered to promote Web Services interoperability across platforms, operating systems and programming languages.
The Feature Pack for Web Services includes support for:
This section describes the installation requirements and specific installation instructions for this fix pack.
You can install this fix pack as an update to version 7.0, 7.0.0.1, or 7.0.0.2 of IBM Rational Application Developer already installed on your computer. It can also be installed at the same time that you install IBM Rational Application Developer, Version 7.0.
For information about installing Rational Application Developer, Version 7.0, including installation prerequisites, see the Installation Guide online at http://download.boulder.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/rationalsdp/v7/rad/70/docs/install_instruction/install.html.
For instructions on installing Rational Application Developer on a Windows Vista computer for the first time, see section 2.4.3 Installing Rational Application Developer, Version 7.0.0.3 on a Windows Vista computer.
There are no additional processor or memory requirements for installing this fix pack; however, there might be additional disk space requirements depending on whether you are installing the fix pack at the same time that you install Rational Application Developer, Version 7.0 or if you are installing the fix pack as an update:
If you choose to download the update as a compressed file for local installation, you require approximately 6 GB to store and extract the compressed file.
This section describes the additional software requirements for installing Rational Application Developer, Version 7.0.0.3; to see the requirements for installing Rational Application Developer, version 7.0, see the Installation Guide.
Before you can install this fix pack, you must install IBM Installation Manager, Version 1.0.0.4. In Installation Manager, if you have not disabled the default setting to search the linked repositories during installation and update, IBM Installation Manager, Version 1.0.0.4 is automatically installed on your computer when you attempt to update or install packages using an earlier version of Installation Manager.
For additional information about Installation Manager, Version 1.0.0.4, refer to http://download.boulder.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/rationalsdp/v7/im/1004/docs/readme/readme.html.
If you are extending an Eclipse IDE, then before you install this fix pack you must install version 3.2.2 or higher of the Eclipse IDE and one of the following Java runtime environments:
To update an existing Eclipse IDE to version 3.2.2 or later, if you have Internet access, complete the following steps:
Note: When you are prompted to verify the update of the
features that have not been digitally signed, click Install All.
Now your Eclipse IDE meets the prerequisite version for installing this fix pack.
Internet access is usually required because, by default, the update is located and installed by Installation Manager directly from the IBM update repository for Rational Application Developer, Version 7.0.
Important: When Rational Application Developer is installed, the location of its update repository is automatically embedded in Installation Manager. For Installation Manager to search the default update repository, the preference Search the linked repositories during installation and updates on the Repositories preference page must be selected. This preference is selected by default.
To install the fix pack from a different repository location (for example, if the fix pack is available on a shared drive or HTTP or HTTPS server), you must add the repository location in Installation Manager. To add a repository location:
The following are two ways to install this update:
By default, the update is installed directly from the IBM update repository; however, it is also available for download. For details, see the specific installation instructions noted below for Rational Application Developer, Version 7.0.0.3.
2.4.1 Installing Rational Application Developer, Version 7.0.0.3 as an update
Install the fix pack with the same user account that installed the product.
Restrictions:
To find and install Rational Application Developer, Version 7.0.0.3 as an update:
You can download compressed files containing the Rational Application Developer, Version 7.0.0.3 fix pack; the files that you extract from the compressed files form a repository for the fix pack. You can install the fix pack from the repository on your own computer, or you can use IBM Packaging Utility to create the repository that can be hosted on a shared drive or an HTTP or HTTPs server.
To download and install the fix pack, complete the following steps:
Note: During the process of updating from a local repository, Installation Manager might prompt you for the location of the repository for Rational Application Developer, Version 7.0. If you installed the product from CDs or other media, they must be available when you use the update feature.
2.4.3 Installing Rational Application Developer, Version 7.0.0.3 for the first time on a Windows Vista computer
The steps for Installing Rational Application Developer, Version 7.0.0.3 on a Windows Vista computer are essentially the same as installing on other Windows computers. However, there are some important differences that are summarized below.
Sample installation steps are provided in this section. For additional details and installation scenarios, see the Installation Guide.
Installation notes for Windows Vista:
Sample installation steps for Rational Application Developer, Version 7.0.0.3 on Windows Vista
If the installation location or shared resources directory for Rational Application Developer is in a directory in the path C:\Program Files, then you must run Rational Application Developer as the administrator. To run as administrator, right-click the program shortcut and click Run as administrator.
On Windows Vista, the Program Files directory is virtualized in order to allow users who are not running as the administrator to have write access to this protected directory. However, the virtualization workaround is not compatible with Rational Application Developer.
If you selected an installation location or shared resources directory in the path C:\Program Files and you do not want to require running Rational Application Developer as administrator, then do one of the following steps:
For more information on running Rational Application Developer on Windows Vista, refer to the technote at http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21257842
If you updated a previously installed version to version 7003, you can revert to the previous version by using the rollback feature of Installation Manager. For instructions on uninstalling the product, see the Installation Guide.
The rollback feature uninstalls the updated resources and reinstalls the resources from the previous version. You can only roll back one version level at a time.
When you roll back to an earlier version of a package, it will be restored with same features that were associated with that version; any features that you added after upgrading to version 7003 by using the Modify Packages wizard will be removed, and any features that you removed will be restored.
During the rollback process, Installation Manager must access files from the earlier version of the package. By default, these files are stored on your system when you install a package. If you changed the default setting or deleted the files by using the Remove Stored Files option on the Roll Back preferences page (File > Preferences > Rollback Files), Installation Manager will require access to your installation repository or media. If you installed the product from a repository, you must have listed in your Preferences (File > Preferences > Repositories) the repository from which you installed the previous version of the product. If you installed the product from CDs or other media, they must be available when you use the rollback feature.
Before you roll back Rational Systems Developer, Version 7.0.0.3, complete the following steps:
To roll back an updated package, complete the following steps:
For additional instructions on uninstalling Rational Application Developer, see the Installation Guide or see the Installation Manager online help.

In the IBM Rational ClearCase® integration with the application on Windows Vista, execution of ClearCase "clearviewupdate" command fails with Error 740 when you create a snapshot view and you cannot update the ClearCase view by using the menu, if User Account Control (UAC) is turned on by default.
Workaround:
Disable the UAC feature. For more information about this and other known issues with ClearCase on Windows Vista, refer to http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21257474
After installing the IBM WebSphere Application Server V6.1 Feature Pack for Web Services feature for the WebSphere Application Server v6.1 test environment, the updated WebSphere Application Server v6.1 test environment is not visible unless you manually adopt a server profile that is enabled with the IBM WebSphere Application Server V6.1 Feature Pack for Web Services.
Cause:
When you install the Web Services Feature Pack option, if WebSphere Application Server v6.1 is also selected, or is already installed, then you must also install the WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 Feature Pack for Web Services feature. With this update, a server profile that is enabled for WebSphere Application Server V6.1 Feature Pack for Web Services is created with the name 'AppSrvWSFP01'. However, this server profile is not associated with any server definition by default.
Workaround:
To use the server profile that is enabled for IBM WebSphere Application Server V6.1 Feature Pack for Web Services, when you launch the workbench for the first time after installing IBM WebSphere Application Server V6.1 Feature Pack for Web Services, do one of the following tasks:
- Create a new server definition that uses AppSrvWSFP01 server profile. For instructions, see http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/radhelp/v7r0m0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.ws.ast.st.v6.ui.doc/topics/twcrtins_v6.html.
- Modify existing default server definition to point to AppSrvWSFP01 server profile. For instructions, see http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/radhelp/v7r0m0/topic/org.eclipse.wst.server.ui.astrxd.doc.user/topics/twedtins.html.
CICS Transaction Gateway V7.0 does not currently support Windows Vista. Please see the following Web page for more information on supported environment for use with the CICS Transaction Gateway: http://www.ibm.com/software/htp/cics/ctg/reqs/
CICS Transaction Gateway v7 RARs are built using the IBM SDK Java 2 Technology Edition, V5 and therefore are only supported for deployment on WebSphere Application Server v6.1.
For further details on the support and enhancements in CICS TG V7.0 refer to IBM United States Software Announcement 206-303 available at http://www.ibm.com/common/ssi/fcgi-bin/ssialias?infotype=an&subtype=ca&supplier=897&letternum=ENUS206-303
If you are installing or have already installed the WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 feature and want to install the WebSphere Web Services Feature pack feature, then you must also install the IBM WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 Feature Pack for Web Services, which provides the updates required for the WebSphere Application Server feature to support the Web Services feature pack functions. This corequisite feature is not selected automatically, which is the expected behavior.
Workaround:
Ensure that you select both the WebSphere Web Services Feature pack feature and the IBM WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 Feature Pack for Web Services feature.
Selecting "Run on Server" after modifying portlet JSP files containing SDOs in a portlet application causes the portlet application to restart instead of just refreshing the browser.
In version 7.0.0.3, if a change is made to a portlet application - for example, a change in a JSP or a change in a class file - selecting "Run on Server" does not require a restart of the portlet application; instead, the browser is refreshed (thereby saving time).
However, if you modify a JSP file in a portlet application that contains SDOs, selecting "Run on Server" causes the portlet application to restart.
Workaround:
To avoid restarting complete portlet application after modifying a JSP file containing SDO, manually refresh the browser to see your changes; do not select "Run on Server."
On the feature selection page during the installation, IBM WebSphere Application Server, Version 6.1 is selected by default and cannot be cleared by clicking it.
Workaround:
To choose to not install 'IBM WebSphere Application Server, version 6.1:
- Select IBM WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 Feature Pack for Web Services first (notice the gray-out of the selection box for 'IBM WebSphere Application Server, version 6.1 is removed) , and
- Click the IBM WebSphere Application Server, version 6.1 check box. This clears the selection of both features.
If you have updated to version 7.0.0.2 or 7.0.0.3 and then attempt to roll back to version 7.0 or 7.0.0.1, then you might get an error if Rational Agent Controller is running.
Cause:
During the rollback process, the Java runtime installed is restored to the previous version. If Rational Agent Controller is running, it might lock some of the files in the JRE and prevent the update.
Workaround:
Make sure that you stop Rational Agent Controller before starting the rollback process.
When working with J2EE projects, you might see an error message "Unnecessary classpath entries duplicating MANIFEST.MF entries" in the Problems view.; These errors might prevent you from being able to deploy the application to the sever.
Cause:
The project contains a .classpath entry which is unnecessary because the class path information is computed dynamically from the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file (which is the method that is used at runtime). The result is an error message reporting that the .classpath entry is unnecessary.
Workaround:
To fix this error, either remove the .classpath entry manually or right-click on the error and select Quickfix to have the .classpath entry automatically removed. If there are many errors of this type in the project, they can all be fixed simultaneously:
- Right-click one of the errors,
- Select Quickfix.
- In the Quickfix dialog, select Find similar problems.
If you update from version 7.0, version 7.0.0.1 or version 7.0.0.2 to version 7.0.0.3 and then install the new Web services feature pack and IBM WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 Feature Pack for Web services features, then applications that you added to the WebSphere Application Server V6.1 test environment before updating to version 7.0.0.3 and installing the new Web services features might not run on the server.
Workaround:
Remove the applications from the server and then add them again.
On Windows Vista, you might have permission problems when starting the server if you are starting a local WebSphere Application Server.
Workaround:If you experience permission issues when starting the server, then you must launch the workspace with the "Run as administrator" option.
To launch the application with the "Run as administrator" option, right-click the "IBM Rational Application Developer" or "IBM Rational Software Architect" icon and select Run as administrator.
As an alternative, you can:
- Right-click the "IBM Rational Application Developer" or "IBM Rational Software Architect" icon and select Properties.
- On the Compatibility tab, select Run this program as an administrator.
After you select this option you can double-click to launch the workspace with the "Run as administrator" option.
When using an asynchronous method on the generated JSPs and an exception occurs, the problem is not reported correctly. The exception should be displayed in the result pane, but instead the message "The service has been invoked" is displayed.
Workaround:
You can modify the result.jsp file to catch asynchronous exceptions and return them to the result.jsp file.
When using the Web Service Explorer and executing an operation containing a list. you are given the opportunity to add an item to the list but you will not be able to remove the item.
Workaround:
You can remove the object from the list by switching the view from form to source. In this way you will see the raw xml and be able to adjust the list.
When using the Web service client wizard and using multiple WebSphere Application Server servers, the client wizard might add the client EAR to a different server than the one that you specified.
Workaround:
Remove the EAR from the incorrect server and add it to the intended server.
If you installed the WebSphere Application Server V6.1 test environment feature and manually updated (in other words, updated without using Installation Manager) it with the WebSphere Application Server V6.1 Fix Pack 9 or later, then an error will occur when you install the WebSphere Application Server V6.1 Feature Pack for Web Services feature.
Workaround:
You must manually remove the manually installed fix pack before you can install the WebSphere Application Server V6.1 Feature Pack for Web Services feature.
When using the Web Service Explorer to publish a business to a private UDDI registry, you will get a user password mismatch if you use both a userid and a password.
Workaround:
Enter the userid without a password; this will allow you to publish the business.
When profiling in version 7.0.0.3 on WebSphere Application Server V6.1, using the integrated Agent Controller (IAC) or an installed Rational Agent Controller V7.0.2, you might get a warning message:
"Could not resolve the launch delegate of the data collector org.eclipse.tptp.trace.ui.jvmpiMechanism."Workaround:
The message is a warning only and is caused by an obsolete extension point. Close the dialog box and continue profiling.
When the Feature Pack for Web Services 1.0 facet is enabled, a folder called .apt_generated is created in the Web project.
If the folder is accidentally deleted, it will be restored by Eclipse automatically but it no longer behaves as a source folder. This results in
the classes in this folder not being built into the Web project's classpath, and it may cause ClassNotFound exceptions after the Web project is deployed.Workaround:
After the folder is deleted, it will not be present in the J2EE perspective. Follow these steps to restore the source folder:
- Open the Resource perspective. You should see the .apt_generated folder which is automatically regenerated.
- Open the .settings/org.eclipse.wst.common.component file
- From the Source view, delete the following line:
<wb-resource deploy-path="/WEB-INF/classes" source-path="/.apt_generated"/>- Right-click the project and select Properties > Java Build Path.
- On the Source tab, add .apt_generated to the list of Source folders.
If the workspace has only stubs as installed server runtimes, sample JSPs will not be generated for the client proxy. This is applicable for both JAX-RPC and JAX-WS client proxies. If you launch the Web Service client wizard to generate a client and sample JSPs, the wizard will display a warning message on the first page of the wizard stating that there are only stub runtimes. Although the client wizard allows you to continue, sample JSPs will not be generated by the wizard even if you select to test the client. If you right-click the client proxy Java class and select Web Services > Generate Sample JSPs for a JAX-RPC client or Web Services > Generate JAX-WS 2.0 JSPs for a JAX-WS 2.0 client, there are two outcomes:Workaround:
- Nothing displays if the workspace has a remote server defined. The client application will be automatically published to the remote server.
- An error message displays if the workspace has no remote server defined. The message states that there are only stub runtimes in the workspace.
- Open Preferences > Server > Installed Runtimes.
- Click Add and add a non-stub server runtime definition.
- Generate your sample JSPs.
With the new JAX-WS Web services, not all the Web service enabled projects will contain a WSDL file. This will occur if you have chosen to create a Web service without generating a WSDL file, and if the server referenced by the Web service module is not running and thus the dynamic WSDL is not available. To support the JAX-WS Web services tooling - specifically generating a Web service skeleton, generating a Web service client, or testing the Web service using the Web Services Explorer - a WSDL file is generated in the temporary directory.
Workaround:
If the WSDL file is not available to the Web services tools, the SOAP address URL in the temporarily generated WSDL will be REPLACE_WITH_ACTUAL_URL. Using this WSDL, you can still generate
a functional skeleton Web service. In the case Web Services Explorer or a Web service client, you may be able to look at the generated code or the SOAP envelope.
When you create, change, or delete a JSR-109 or JAX-WS Web service or Web service client with the IBM WebSphere Application Server Toolkit, the corresponding Web services tree node might not update to reflect the change. This problem occurs even if you perform a manual refresh.
Workaround:
In most cases, restarting the Application Server Toolkit workspace corrects the problem. If the tree node for the JSR-109 or JAX-WS Web services is still not updated with the changes, then perform the following actions:
- Close all of the perspectives in the workbench by clicking Window > Close all perspectives.
- Re-open the Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition (J2EE) perspective by clicking Window > Open perspective > J2EE.
The Web Services Explorer in the IBM® WebSphere® Application Server Toolkit cannot invoke Web services with SOAP Version 1.2 bindings. When the tool encounters a Web Services Description Language (WSDL) file with SOAP V1.2 bindings, the Web Services Explorer displays the SOAP V1.2 bindings as unsupported.
This issue applies to the Web Services Feature Pack feature.Cause:
This is a limitation in the current design of the Web Services Explorer.
Workaround:
To test a SOAP V1.2 Web service, you can use one of the following methods:
- Create a Java API for XML-Based Web Services (JAX-WS) Web service client and use the JAX-WS 2.0 sample JavaServer Pages (JSP) files.
- Use the Universal Test Client to test the Web service.
If an error scenario is encountered when publishing a Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) enterprise application to a server, the publishing task might fail without displaying any error message. Therefore, the publish task might seem to finish successfully. This scenario occurs only when the Feature Pack for Web Services is installed.
If the publishing task fails without warning, then the server status shows "Republish" and a status is not shown for the J2EE enterprise application in the Servers view. The application status should say "Started". Also, the application is not listed in the Administrative Console for IBM WebSphere Application Server.
Workaround:
To identify the root cause for why the publishing process for the application failed, open the file named .log, which is located in the workspace/.metadata directory.
The workspace variable is the name of your workspace directory
Correct any errors shown in the .log file and re-publish the application.
A NullPointerException error occurs when running the bottom-up Web service wizard if your Web project includes a Java bean which uses classes in a Java utility project, and both the dynamic Web project and Java utility project reside in the same EAR.The error message starts similar to the following text: Errors occurred during wsgen. Note: ap round: 1 Problem encountered during annotation processing; see stacktrace below for more information. java.lang.NullPointerException at com.sun.tools.ws.processor.modeler.annotation.WebServiceAP.isSubtype(WebServiceAP. java:416)Workaround:
To resolve this issue, perform the following steps:
- Right-click the EAR project and click Properties > J2EE Module Dependencies. Ensure that both the Web project and Java utility project are selected in the Available J2EE modules list, and then click OK.
- Right-click the Web project and click Properties > J2EE Module Dependencies.
- Click the Web libraries tab, The utility project should be in the list of Web Library projects. Select the utility project and then click OK.
- Re-run the bottom-up Java bean Web service wizard.
After creating a Web service client with TCP/IP monitoring enabled, the TCP/IP monitor is set up but it does not show up in the server's monitoring properties page (which is accessed by right-clicking on the server in Servers view and selecting Monitoring > Properties).
Workaround:
To view or change the settings for the TCP/IP monitor, the open the TCP/IP monitor page (Window > Preferences > Run/Debug > TCP/IP monitor) page instead; the TCP/IP monitor will be shown on this page.
In the "Do and Learn" section of the Tutorial Gallery, there is a tutorial titled "Creating a secured JAX-WS Web Service from a WSDL file". Lesson 3, step 7 of this tutorial instructs you to confirm the TCP/IP monitor is set up by right-clicking on the server in Servers view and selecting Monitoring > Properties. However, when the properties page displays, the TCP/IP monitor is not shown even though it is set up properly.
Workaround:
Open the TCP/IP monitor page (Window > Preferences > Run/Debug > TCP/IP monitor) instead. You can view the TCP/IP monitor on this page.
The problem occurs when Rational Functional Tester V7.0.0.2 is installed as root, but started as a non-root user. When Rational Functional Tester loads up, the Functional Test Projects view does not load and shows "Unable to create view: null argument:" error message. You may also see problems creating new Functional Test Projects with the same error message.
Workaround:
To resolve this error, you must do one of the following:
- Run Rational Functional Tester V7.0.0.2 for the first time by the root user; or
- Ensure that the <RFT install dir>/FunctionalTester/bin directory has write permission for the non-root user.
In the following wizards, there is a page called Add and Remove Projects that enables you to add projects to the server:
- New server (In the Servers view, right-click and select New > Server)
- Run on server (Right-click a project and select Run As > Run on Server)
- Debug on server (Right-click a project and select Run As > Debug on Server)
- Profile on server (Right-click a project and select Run As > Run on Server)
On the Add and Remove Projects page, if you add projects to the server and then complete the wizard by selecting Finish while still on this page, then the projects are added to the server as expected. However, if you add projects to the server on the Add and Remove Projects page, click Next, and then click Finish on the subsequent page, the projects are not added to the server.
Workaround:
To add projects to the server using the wizards mentioned above, perform one of the following tasks:
- Complete the wizard by clicking Finish on the Add and Remove Projects page.
- If you complete the wizard without adding projects to the server, you can manually add projects from the Servers view (right-click the server and select Add and Remove Projects from the context menu).
If you use the Web Application editor to add an EJB reference, the JNDI binding information might be missing, causing a NullPointerException error. This might happen if both the Web module and EJB module are contained within the same enterprise application.
Workaround:
Manually add the JNDI binding information to the EJB reference with the Web Application editor. The correct format for the binding information is similar to:
ejb/the fully qualified EJB home class name
For example, if the EJB home class is foo.bar.TestHome, then the default bindings information would be:
ejb/foo/bar/TestHome
Installing the IBM WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 Feature Pack for Web services feature (which is required when installing the Web services feature pack feature) updates the installed WebSphere Application Server feature version to 6.1.0.9. This version number is displayed on the Welcome page of the WebSphere Application Server Administrative Console. If you uninstall the WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 Feature Pack for Web services feature by uninstalling the version 7.0.0.3 fix pack, then the version number might still display as 6.1.0.9.
Only the Welcome page in the WebSphere Application Server Administrative Console displays the incorrect version. The version information reported in other places, such as by running the versionInfo command, will be correct.
When an application contains many JAR files or a large sized JAR file in the WEB-INF/lib folder of a Web module, the application may take a long time to publish to the server. This problem will happen on a WebSphere Application Server v6.1 with Feature Pack for Web Services installed on remote servers. In addition, the problem occurs on local servers when the publishing option, Run server with resources on Server is selected. For example, an application with 15 JAR files with a total file size of 17 megabyte in the WEB-INF/lib directory may take around 15-20 minutes to publish the application.
Workaround:
During the publishing of the server, in the Servers view the server remains in the Publishing state and appears as if the server has hung. However, the publish should complete and until the publish completes the state of the server changes to Synchronized.
You might experience similar performance problems with other tasks, such as running applications with JavaServer Faces (JSF).
This is a known problem in the WebSphere Application Server v6.1 with the Feature Pack for Web Services and there is an interim fix available for the server. To fix the problem occurring on the server, visit the following link: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg21263650
