Error description
Customer is using the mb2mdb tool to convert EARs written
using WSAS 4.1 EE JMS Listener to use EJB2.0 MDBs. The ears do
not contain the ibm-ejb-jar-ext.xmi file withing the EJB
module META-INF directory. These were built using WSAD 5.0 and
run fine on 4.0. MB2MDB fails wiht WMSG0204E because the EAR
file does not include this xmi file.
Local fix Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: This problem affects customers who wish to *
* migrate their Message Bean applications from *
* WebSphere Application Server Enterprise *
* Extensions 4.0 to WebSphere Application *
* Server Version 5.x. *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When attempting to migrate a Message *
* Bean that has been written for *
* WebSphere Application Server Version *
* 4.0 using the Version 5 utility MB2MDB, *
* the migration process fails with the *
* error: *
* *
* WMSG0204E: Input EJB jar <filename> *
* does not contain META-INF/ *
* ibm-ejb-jar-ext. xmi *
* *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION: *
****************************************************************
The MB2MDB utility incorrectly assumed that the Enterprise
Application Resource (EAR) that contained the Message Bean
had to contain the file ibm-ejb-jar-ext.xmi file. If the
EAR did not contain this file, the MB2MDB utility would
throw an error and the migration process would stop.
However, it is valid for the EAR to not contain a copy of the
xmi file. The behaviour of the migration utility has been
modified to no longer throw an error and stop if this file
cannot be found in the EAR that is being migrated.
Problem conclusion
The MB2MDB utility will only attempt to migrate the file
ibm-ejb-jar-ext.xmi if it exists in the Enterprise
Application Resource (EAR) being migrated. If the file cannot
be found in the EAR, the migration utility will not try to
migrate it, and continue.
