Greetings @angoinetum ,

Payara Platform 5 Community support has ended, please migrate your environment to Payara Platform 6 and verify if this issue affects its current release.

If you encounter any issues or have trouble transforming your applications and migrating them to Payara Platform 6 and if you want to remain on Payara Platform 5, you may consider acquiring a Payara Enterprise subscription.

Best Regards,
Elif

I used Eclipse Transformer in command line to migrate the Maven project example (in order to use JakartaEE 10), and I reproduced the same bug when deploying the EAR with Payara Tools Eclipse plugin 2.3.0 and Payara Server Full Profile Community 6.2023.7
I have HTTP 404 error when accessing the URL http://localhost:8080/web-application/hello

After deploying manually the EAR using the web admin interface (http://localhost:4848), when accessing the URL http://localhost:8080/web-application/hello I have the correct content displayed: HelloService says: hello!

Hi @angoinetum,

I was able to reproduce the error you have been facing and have escalated this to the platform development team as FISH-7720.

Thank you,

Hi @angoinetum,

After thorough investigation was made by our engineers, the following observations were made:

1. Deploying the EAR from the command line resulted in the endpoint working correctly.
2. However, deploying the exploded EAR from the command line led to the endpoint not working as expected.
3. Similarly, deploying the exploded EAR from the (Eclipse & NetBeans) IDE also resulted in the endpoint not functioning properly.

However, it was revealed that the issue stemmed from a package misconfiguration in the file 'HelloServiceImpl.java' located at 'local-ejb-injection-master\service-ejb-impl\src\main\java\ee\mrts\service'. The package was corrected from 'ee.mrts.servlet' to 'ee.mrts.service'. This fix resolved the deployment issues encountered in all the aforementioned scenarios.

Would you please confirm if changing the package to 'ee.mrts.service' has fixed the issue on your end as well?

Thank you,
Elif

Hi @Elifzeynepedman,

I do not have this package misconfiguration in my source files.
I have just published my Git repository corresponding that I used to reproduce my reported bug in Github : https://github.com/angoinetum/local-ejb-injection-jakarataee

Best regards.

Hi @angoinetum,

Could you please upgrade the located application-ear/pom.xml to version 3.3.0.

Upgrading the maven-ear-plugin resolves the issue you are facing.

Thank you,
Elif

Hi @Elifzeynepedman,

Sorry but after upgrading the maven-war-plugin to version 3.3.0 and to the latest version 3.4.0, I have the same bug.

I reproduced the bug with the latest Eclipse JEE 2023-12, Payara Tools version 2.3.0, Payara Full Server 6.2023.12, using OpenJDK Eclipse Temurin Hotspot 11.0.21+9.

I recorded a video that reproduces the bug: https://www.grosfichiers.com/QhPnsBPbNPC
