EAServer 6.3 PowerBuilder 11.5

[Pete]

I recently installed a clean version of EAServer 6.3 on a
WinXP machine. I deployed a couple of our existing PB10.5.2
components and they worked without issue. I then upgraded
those 10.5.2 components to PB 11.5 and deployed them. I've
had no luck getting them to work. Is there something
special that I have to do to enable pb11.5 in easerver 6.3?
I can see PBVM105 and PBVM115 in the shared directory.
There isn't much in the logs. Basically, I'm getting a null
pointer when I try to get my component using the following:
PBReportsV11.GeneratePBReportHelper.narrow(generatorFactory.create
())

This is the trace from my logs. Actually, it looks very
much like the successful calls.

Any thoughts?

TIA,
Pete

The problem had to do with java Stubs/interfaces. As you
may have found out, there is a bug in the easerver 6.3 Stub
Generation logic, in which it runs into a compiler error
during stub generation. My initial work around was to
convert my old PB10.5 stubs for use by 11.5 components -
this solution obviously didn't work.

To make a long story short, Sybase support gave me a
workaround. I then regenerated the stubs and copied them to
my java application, then created and deployed a new WAR. I
can now call PB11.5 componenets from a java application.

The workaround for the Java Stub compiler error is to open
C:\yourEAServerDirectory\deploy\webapps\console.console\easmgmplugin\easMBeanNode\generateStubsWizard\displayWizardResult.jsp
then add a semi-colon after
response.setCharacterEncoding("utf-8")
