Issues converting web service to portal 7.3

[stephen_spalding]

Hi all,

We are in the process of converting our custom applications from our old SAP portal (7.01) to 7.3, and we have run into a common error when trying to deploy a web service that was written in the old portal into the new portal. The relevant parts of the error message that we see are:

Caused by: java.lang.Exception: com.sap.engine.interfaces.webservices.server.deploy.WSDeploymentException: Exception occurred during web services 630 deployment. Unable to generate deployment data for application sap.com/home~finder.

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: while trying to read the field 'name' of an object loaded from local variable 'entry'

I have attached the entire error message to this post.

Has anyone seen this and know what to do for it?

Thanks!

Hi Stephen,

I think note 1600318 might help you.

Hi Saar,

Thanks for the updated. When I try to look at that note, I get the following message:

The requested SAP Note is either in reworking or is released internally only

Do you have access to this note?

Thanks!

Hi Stephen ,

In our GRC application also we had similar message.

The reason in our case is one folder was missing in packging structure of sda file .

when we compared our 7.0X with 7.3X package delivery we observed this .

This happened *.videf, *.wsdef are missing in our case .

This happened when we moved our application from 7.0x to 7.3x.

when we corrcted this by adding from 7.0x , it worked correctly .

May be you can verify in this direction , it might help .

Thanks & Regards
