Getting Started with WebSphere Application Server

Chapter 11 – Troubleshooting 199
Yet another cause of this problem may be that your server is using DHCP and there was a
DHCP renewal. If that's the case, you can use a static IP address.
11.4 Classpath and dependency
Sometimes the deployment of a module such as WAR, JAR or EAR, fails with a
dependency error. The reason may be an incorrect configuration of the dependencies in
the deployment plan.
In the deployment plan, the element is used to specify that your module
depends on a package kept in the server's repository. The specified package is added to
your module's classpath. Begin with the template shown in Listing 11.1 and update it
appropriately.
group
artifact
version
type
Listing 11.1 - Dependency template
In Listing 11.1:
• group is the directory or directory tree in the repository where the unique artifact
directory is located.
• artifact is the prefix (no version or file extension) of the library's file name
• version is the version number to be appended to the file name.
• type is the file extension for the file in the repository.
The server will construct a path of the form
/repository/group/artifact/version/file-version.type
11.5 Using Community Edition log files as diagnostic tools
The following log files are useful in troubleshooting situations.
11.5.1 Installation and un-installation logs
Both installation and un-installation logs record all the events and actions during the install
and un-install process of Community Edition and are useful for analyzing problems during
these operations. You can read the logs directly with a text editor.
