I want to develop EJB 1.1 using VAJ 3.5. But it only supports EJB 1.0. For example, while exporting the Deployed JAR/EJB JAR, it does not create a XML deployment descriptor, but a serialzed (.ser) file. What do I need to do? Will VAJ 4.0 solve this?
VisualAge for Java 4.0 now includes a new XML-based deployment tool to assist exporting EJB 1.1-compliant JAR files. See the VAJ Features desciption at IBM's web site for more information.more
I got a message saying that the workspace had become corrupted, that it was going to shutdown, and would restart, rebuilding the workspace. It's been out to lunch ever since
Now, when I launch VAJ, it gives me the splash screen, which goes away, and then nothing - no errors are displayed, no VAJ windows come up (not even the workbench), nothing.
What can I do to fix it?
What can I do to fix it?
I was able to find a an old reference on the ibm vaj forum that mentioned removing the busy.sav file - a zero (0) byte file size.
I did remove this file, and the problem disappeared.

build web applications. Of course, most other presentation frameworks claim the
same thing, so what makes Barracuda...more
I'm getting lots of javadoc warning messages in console when I run XDoclet. What's the problem? Can I avoid it?
You can safely ignore these warning messages.
Your code refers to a class that Javadoc can't find. Javadoc always complains about this, but it doesn't stop XDoclet from doing its job. It's a norma...more
Why are only some border types available in the Border Properties Editor in the Visual Composition Editor? Shouldn´t all the types that implements Border interface be available?
The simple PropertyEditor in the VCE for borders can only handle some of the borders (the ones you see listed). Scott Stanchfield has developed a more complex PropertyEditor for Swing Borders tha...more
How can I import other XML parsers into VAJ without getting errors because of conflicts with the "IBM XML Parser" project?
The problem is that the Project "IBM XML Parser" contains some non-IBM packages
(org.xml.* and org.w3c.*) These should be organized into separate Projects since they
are common to all XML librari...more
How do I relate more then one radio button (JRadioButton) to a button group using VAJ's Visual Composition Editor?
[Note: JToggleButton or any subclass, including JRadioButton and JCheckBox, will work correctly with a ButtonGroup]
There are a couple of different ways to use the Swing ButtonGroup in the VCE, a...more
I know XDoclet has various @tags for various EJB containers. Does that mean my application will run on all application servers?
No, XDoclet can't do any magic :-)
But at least it can make it a lot easier. There's built-in support for
various application servers, so you can create deployment descriptors of each
applicatio...more
Is it possible to use XDoclet without Ant?
It's not possible to use XDoclet without Ant, for some good reasons. But
anyway you should be able to invoke Ant from make for example.
Obviously it's ridiculous to add @tags to source code for o...more
What are the merge points? What are they for?
Merge points (or merge files) are a mechanism XDoclet provides for merging in
a user-written file with the template file. It has various uses:
Not all class libraries out there use XDoclet @ta...more
What causes a VAJ workspace to become corrupt? How can it be prevented? Are the corrupt workspace problems fixed in later releases of VAJ?
Almost any system exception trapped by VAJ and shown in the log window is sufficient to corrupt the workspace at some level. There are almost an infinite number of gradations of corruption, howeve...more
