Predeployment of PersistenceUnit [appcenterdb-oracle] failed - ibm-mobilefirst

Question

I installed the following on my RHEL 6
(1) MFP63
(2) MySQL56
(3) WAS 8.5.5.6
and trying to set up my first mobile first project but 'messages.log' has the following errors
I FFDC1015I: An FFDC Incident has been created: "javax.persistence.PersistenceException: Exception [EclipseLink-28018] (Eclipse Persistence Services - 2.6.0.WAS-v20150513-26196d2): org.eclipse.persistence.exceptions.EntityManagerSetupException

Message says 'Predeployment of PersistenceUnit [appcenterdb-oracle] failed' but I am using 'MySQL' instead of 'oracle' which is bit confusing to me
I am using Java 8 (with JDK6 and 7 I was facing other issues)

Answer 1

There are three issues in total:
You are using Java 8 with a MobileFirst Foundation version that does not support it. The system requirements of MobileFirst Foundation 7.0 state that only Java 6 and Java 7 are supported. The symptom is seen in your first messages.log: It is the exception java.lang.IllegalStateException: Context namespace element 'annotation-config' and its parser class [org.springframework.context.annotation.AnnotationConfigBeanDefinitionParser] are only available on JDK 1.5 and higher
Your server.xml contains two elements <application id="worklightconsole" name="worklightconsole" location="worklightconsole.war" type="war">. That is, you have two web applications with the same id, the same name, and the same context root. This can never work. The cause is apparently that you passed worklightconsole.war as argument to <configureApplicationServer>. Instead, as documented in Deploying the project WAR file, the WAR file that you specify should be a MobileFirst project WAR file, built through MobileFirst Studio or through the <war-builder> Ant task.
The second messages.log file contains the log messagesFWLSE2008I: MBean registration succeeded for: com.worklight.common.server.jmx.api:type=WorklightAdmin,qualifier=worklightadmin
FWLSE2008I: MBean registration succeeded for: com.worklight.common.server.jmx.api:type=ProjectManagement_simpleServer,qualifier=worklightconsole [project worklightconsole]
The first one shows an empty environment id, whereas the second one shows an environment id "simpleServer". This environment id is also visible in the server.xml file:<jndiEntry jndiName="worklightconsole/ibm.worklight.admin.environmentid" value='"simpleServer"'/>
But according to the documentation of <configureApplicationServer>, you should pass the same environment id value in both cases.

#Sathish, In the server.xml you have uploaded, I can see those features
<feature>javaee-7.0</feature>
<feature>servlet-3.1</feature>
<feature>jdbc-4.1</feature>
The last two features are not installed by MobileFirst Ant tasks or the Server Configuration Tool.
This let me think you changed them manually after the installation process because you are using an unsupported Liberty profile flavour like
WAS Liberty V8.5.5.6 with Java EE 7 Web Profile or WAS Liberty V8.5.5.6 with Java EE 7 Full Platform
which does not provide the expected features servlet-3.0 and jdbc-4.0 but instead servlet-3.1 and jdbc-4.1.
Actually, MFP 6.3 only supports MFP 6.3 only supports WebSphere Application Server Liberty Core

You may get it from the FixCentral website
http://www-933.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/
On Select product tab, choose
Product Group : WebSphere
Select from WebSphere : WebSphere Application Server
Installed Version : 8.5.5.6
Platform : All
Then select
Individual fix IDs : wlp-core-runtime-8.5.5.6

Answer 3

As 'slowhand' suggested the issue was with 'server.xml' because of multiple 'application id' with the same name
It appears 'ant' tasks does not generate all the tags correctly and I made little corrections to make it work
