MANIFEST Invalid Errors moving an Application from WAS5 to WAS7
ConfusedInManchester
I'm trying to deploy an application that has been running happily for quite sometime on WAS5 to WAS7. I've been assured that this shouldn't be a problem (if only!). Can anyone help me or point me in the direction of some info on how the MANIFEST files have changed between WAS5 (java 1.4.2) and WAS7 (1.6). See below for more info.. Thanks.
The deployment seems fine but I see the below error when starting the application;
[23/11/09 14:18:02:135 GMT] 00000015 ModuleManifes E UTLS0001E: Unable to parse the MANIFEST.MF file from application module Business.jar.
There is also an FFDC incident file raised for this with the below info.

Please note I've also tried replacing the 'was51' above with 'was7' but with no luck!. Thanks

1) Does your application work? If it does then it may be a harmless exception that may have been logged.
2) If you want to diagnose which manifest entry caused this using trial/error...you may want to delete a whole bunch of them and start adding a few at a time to figure out which exact entry caused the issue.
3) If your application does not work and you cant figure out using #2 and this is affecting your business, then please contact IBM support.
thanks,
