Unable to get View for ViewDescriptor 'webApplications'

[glassfishrobot]

Sometimes the appserver gets into a mode where I can't use the admin console to
manage webapps.

I get the following error when clicking on the web applications tree node:

A "com.sun.enterprise.tools.guiframework.exception.FrameworkError" was caught.
The message from the exception: "Unable to get View for ViewDescriptor
'webApplications'"

The root cause is
"com.sun.enterprise.admin.common.exception.MBeanConfigException: Component not
registered"

See the HTML source for more detailed (stack trace) information.

The server.log shows:

Looks like a Jato error.

The error persists after appserver shutdown and restart, and even after reboot.

Comments from SQE:
I doon't see this problem with 07/21 nightly build. I can see DD for web
application.
I have tested with Solaris x86 build

Ed,
Does this bug only applies to MacOS ? Can you see if you can reproduce this on
other platform ? Can you test if the problem exists on 7/21 nightly build ?

thanks
anilam

Actually, I've found that I only see the problem when something goes wrong with
deployment of a web-module. For example, if there's a Context listener failure.
Once this happens, I've found I can't get past the error.

I just hit this on Win32 as well. Changing platform to all.

A "com.sun.enterprise.tools.guiframework.exception.FrameworkException" was
caught. The message from the exception:
"java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException while attempting to process a
'error' event for 'webApplicationsEdit'."

The root cause is
"com.sun.enterprise.admin.common.exception.MBeanConfigException: Component not

This happens when a deployed webapp has trouble.

Unfortunately, using list-component doesn't show the offending app, even though
it can be successfully undeployed using asadmin.

Once undeployed, the console comes back to life.

@edburns said:
More detail. If the redeploy fails, the appserver gets in this state. Then I
have to use asadmin undeploy to re-enable the use of the admingui to administer
webapps.

@edburns said:
Ok, this appears to have been fixed. I'll attach the WAR I used to verify it.
Simply deploy at and note that the admin console continues to function. Perhaps
this can be added to the regression test suite.
