Error while publishing Java EE application to WebSphere Server v8.5.5 in Eclipse. "The name parameter cannot be null"

Question

When I want to publish my Java EE application to WebSphere server i get a following error:

Server configuration seems to be ok - server status is displayed.

Same application deployed on Tomcat works just fine.

Any ideas what could be causing this problem?

Using:

• Eclipse LUNA SR2 IEE
• IBM WebSphere Application Server V8.5X Developer Tools for Eclipse Luna

Answer 1

You have to allow the applications containing errors to be published on a server check box. you can do it in following manner:- (Windows > Preferences > Servers > WebSphere).

If this does not work, it is possible that you have build path error.

Answer 2

I solved this problem running Eclipse as Administrator.

I don't know how you set up your application server. I managed to resolve this issue by setting up a new Application Server from the WebSphere Customization Toolbox.

Launch the toolbox from the Start menu and create a new profile by selecting Application Server, and then complete settings intuitively, and start the server.

Connect to that server in your RAD, deploy the app and it will work like magic.

I don't know why, but this nasty problem occurs when I tried to use the application server that comes with deployment manager installation or any server from customized profile.
