I've picked up where Simon left off and have imported the fda7.jar and hpt.jar files specific to the RBD environment into the WSAD v5.1 environment which gets me to the stage where the project compiles.

The next part is a runtime error which I am stumped on...I have tried a few ways to work around this however, in the end I still get the same error which is below. The error occurs when _program() is called by the EGL generated java class files. _program() returns an instance of Program which is within cso.ibm.resources.javart (part of fda7.jar).

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: java.lang.RuntimeException: method <init>(Ljava/lang/Throwable;)V not found

Exception in thread "main"

To me this says the library was never meant to run in this environment, ie. it is calling a method or property which doesn't exist in this version of the runtime (in this case j2ee v1.3). I have tried changing the rt.jar file including removing it from the class path of the project but then I get errors of the nature;

The project was not built since its classpath is incomplete. Cannot find the class file for java.lang.Object. Fix the classpath then try rebuilding this project.

Thanks in advance,

Aaron.

In my ealirer attempts I had added the rt.jar file from the Rational Business Developer environment to the build path as an External jar..

I tried the approach you mentioned to edit the settings of the rt.jar (JRE) in WSAD v5.1 to refer to the rt.jar taken from RBD but I still get the "unable to build problem".

I have been talking with John (referred to earlier in this thread) and we've got a few new approaches we are going to attemp which include getting the generated files building and invoking the CICS transaction gateway from the RBD IDE environment to prove that the generated files are indeed valid. Then we will attempt to alter some of the Build Options and re-try publishing to WSAD v5.1 and see how we go.

Thanks to all those that are assisting, Aaron.

I am attempting to do the same thing, generate a Vagen program to java and convert it to a web service deployed to Websphere Application Server and was running into some issues. I was wondering what tools you used and where/how you deployed your web services. I would appreciate any guidance.

Thanks very much,
