Unable to publish EAR onto Websphere

java exception websphere ear

I'm running Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software (v. 8.0.4.1) on Windows. I have a EAR project that I'm trying to deploy to my Websphere server running on my machine. The EAR project references a WAR project.

When tying to deploy, I get four messages:

Publishing failed
**Could not publish to the server - org.eclipse.wst.server.core**
java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 4, Size: 4

deploySuccess -  com.ibm.etools.server.task.ejbdeploy

What's weird is that I can see the EAR & WAR services started/synchronized on the server, and when I go into the Admin console, I can see the running application.

Has anyone seen this same errors? Suggestions?

Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

Got the same issue. removed entries from publish.xml under c:/myworkspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core for the failing server and also removed the folder tmp* (tmp0 or tmp1 etc whichever applies to failing server).

After restarting the RAD, noticed that these mapping are recreated and the publish seems to work fine.
