Help with Deploy to Websphere plugin

[MoBarger]

I am having issues with the deploy to websphere plugin. I am trying to
deploy to WAS7, I am thinking that despite the presence of "WebSphere
Application Server 6.1/7 (with security disabled)" on its wiki page
that perhaps it does not work with WAS7.

If I deploy the ear file to http://server:8880 for the SOAP connector
I get "FATAL: WAS 6.1 deploy execution failed
com.ibm.websphere.management.exception.AdminException:

Build step 'Deploy war/ear to a container' changed build result to FAILURE"

I am running Jenkins 1.494, deploy plugin 1.4, deploy to websphere 1.0

I downgraded from 1.9 to 1.4 per
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Deploy+WebSphere+Plugin

The websphere jars (6.1) are installed in the websphere plugin's
WEB-INF/lib dir.

WAS61Adapter.properties file added per
http://jenkins.361315.n4.nabble.com/Deploy-to-Websphere-container-Plugin-Hudson-version-1-388-td3179444.html
I could not connect to the location mentioned in that thread so pulled
the properties from
http://www.jarvana.com/jarvana/inspect/org/jvnet/hudson/plugins/deploy-websphere/1.0/deploy-websphere-1.0-sources.jar?folder=hudson/plugins/deploy/websphere/

I have verified that jobs still fail when pointed to WAS6.1

Hudson logs show

WARNING: Could not find tmx4jTransform.jar in null/etc/tmx4jTransform.jar - Interoperability to older versions of WebSphere is disabled

There is no security on any of the WAS instances I am testing.

What am I missing?

Did you get any further log information. May in the ffdc logs or in the dmgr logs of WebSphere?

This blog post explains how to setup the new websphere deployer plugin with jenkins.

However this plugin only performance re-installs not updates - so specific settings will be lost.

I use this plugin with WAS 8.5.5 and no problems.  Are you running in Thinclient mode or are you point to the IBM JDK?
