Error description
Attempted to run earconvert in WAS V5.0.2: earconvert
MyJ2EE12Ear MyJ2EE13Ear. This fails with the following error:
"Aborted. An unexpected error occurred."
I then modified the com.ibm.ejs.assembly.tools.EARConvert
class and added code to print the stacktrace when the error
occurs. The following is the stack trace:
java.lang.NullPointerException
java/lang/Throwable.<init>()V+4 (Throwable.java:78)
java/lang/Exception.<init>()V+1 (Exception.java:29)
java/lang/RuntimeException.<init>()(RuntimeException.java:33)

****************************************************************
earconvert.bat is a command line utility available in WAS
5.0.2 that allows the customer to migrate
a J2EE 1.2 application to the J2EE 1.3 level. The same
function is also available in the AAT gui interface.
The gui interface works correctly, but the command line
utility returns an error message and does not migrate
the application.
Problem conclusion
The problem was caused by incorrect initialization and an
incorrect method. In WAS 5.0.2, a lot of changes were made
to get WAS to work with MOF (Meta Object Facility).
However, this particular module was not corrected to work
with MOF and used an outdated method and did not include
the MOF initialization code.
Once this was corrected, the command line version migrated
applications correctly.
