Webservices feature pack is installed but RAD says 'it is not installed'


When I run this command:

C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP\runtimes\base_v61\bin>versionInfo.bat

The output is:

But when I open up RAD and deploy some web service projects on WAS 6.1, it says that please install webservices feature pack although as it is seen from the list, the feature pack is present already.

When I try to augment an existing profile with installed feature pack, only ejb3.0 feature pack is available to me to augment and not the webservices feature pack. What should I do? I would like to avoid a fresh uninstall/reinstall of WAS at all costs


Solution

  • I see you resolved this, but I just went through it myself, so I wanted to share what I learned. The Web Services Feature Pack cannot be added to an existing profile; a new one has to be created. The EJB 3.0 Feature Pack, however, can augment an existing profile, including one with the Web Services Feature Pack in it.

    So what worked for us was to create a new profile from the Web Services Feature Pack template, then augment that profile with the EJB 3.0 template.
