Eclipse J2EE Module Dependencies Page contains Illegal Values

I just ran into this problem that eclipse wouldn’t display the J2EE module dependencies for a couple of my projects. The solution I found was to open the MANIFEST.MF files for those projects and delete the classpath entries. I suspect I had some old classpath entries in there which were no longer valid, and the property page code was flipping out about it.

Hope this helps someone …

Well that definitely helped me a lot.
I’m using “BEA WorkSpace Studio Version: 1.1″.

And in that some of my projects were not displaying the entries in J2EE Module Dependencies saying it has invalid entries.

Thanks a lot

Thank you! This helped me to resolve the problem with RAD 7.0 (Rational Application Developer). But … I had to make a restart after replacing the MANIFEST.MF file.

How to workaround JPA locking limitations when using Hibernate by bypassing the EntityManager and using Session directly February 7, 2009

First, the solution: private Session getSession() { return ((Session)((EntityManagerImpl)em.getDelegate()).getSession()); } Now you can call the methods on Session which handle locking using LockMode.

JPA Locking and Timers bit me in the arse! November 1, 2008

Accidentally double-charged a bunch of credit cards this morning, had to clean up a big mess. Lessons: Learn about how JPA locking REALLY works, I thought I was getting serializable transaction isolation, in fact it’s optimistic locking.

Hibernate Annotations: @OneToOne with mappedBy and lazy fetch are dangerous! October 8, 2008

Today I ran into a very frustrating issue with hibernate and lazy inverse @OneToOne mappings. Inverse @OneToOne mappings are mapping where you provide the mappedBy attribute to indicate that the foreign key of that relation is stored in the other table. I was using this technique as a lazy (as in, me trying to avoid work) [...]

HQL: Be careful of using dot notation with left outer joins October 3, 2008

I recently ran into a little glitch with my HQL that I thought I could share for the rest of you. I created a query that looks something like: SELECT b.c.d, a.b FROM a LEFT OUTER JOIN a.b AS b; The problem with this is that hibernate will generate an inner join to resolve b.c.d, which PostgreSQL didn’t [...]

Just when I thought the past would disappear October 2, 2008

Back then both of these sites were hosted on a cheap [...]
