Hello,

I recently migrated from RBD V.8 to RBD V9

My project is a egl, jsf, web application and i use websphere application server v8.5.

I am unable to debug my programs, as when i switch the server to debug mode

and hit my web page i receive the following error:

javax.el.ELException: Cannot convert com.ibm.javart.debug.resolution.EGLSourceNotFound@31445c90 of type class com.ibm.javart.debug.resolution.EGLSourceNotFound to class javax.faces.component.UIComponent

Caused by:
javax.el.ELException - Cannot convert com.ibm.javart.debug.resolution.EGLSourceNotFound@31445c90 of type class com.ibm.javart.debug.resolution.EGLSourceNotFound to class javax.faces.component.UIComponent

Any help will be appreciated.

Cheers

Hi,

My suggestion would be to open a problem up with the IBM support center.

A couple of thoughts:

a.) Did you let the project be migrated when you moved it to V9?   If you did not, then you might want to.  This can be done by closing the project from the context menu and then reopening it.

b.) Try restarting  RBD with the -clean option?    This means to add -clean to the command line in the RBD shortcut and start up RBD. It will recache the various plugins which sometimes can help.  If you are using Windows 7 and installed RBD in the Program Files folders, you will need to do this using "Run as Administrator".

c.)  Make sure you have setup the right version of the JSF runtime in WAS.   See the following Technote for more information:

Thank you,

-clean option, seem to solve the problem.

Glad it worked for you. 

And thanks for letting others know what the solution was for you.

We had the same error, but restarting RBD with the -clean option did not resolve the problem.  After further analysis we found that it occurs when the context root is set to a non-default value.

For example, our EGL JSF web project is named something like XxxWeb.  The default value for the context root is the name of the web project, but when we change it to something like services/xxxx according to corporate standards, the EGL source code of the jsf handler cannot be found by the debugger.  In fact, it can only be found when the context root is reset to the name of the web project.

Is a different context root not supported in debug mode?

Benno,

You can open a PMR to get a deeper investigation, but I am guessing that the debugger is looking for the source and it needs the context root to name the project to search in. 

Can you rename your web project to match the context root you really want to use in the running app.
