WebLogic Server 10 : Deployment : Error 149003

" WebLogic Deployer:149003 Unable to access application source information "

You might bump into this error during deployment. I just noticed that someone was struggling with this error & had reported this on the OTN Forums.

The Stack Trace for the error usually looks like this :-

Error is: 'weblogic.management.DeploymentException:
[Deployer:149003]Unable to access application source information in
'/home/bea/bea/user_projects/domains/myDomain/servers/myServer/stage
app/app.war' for application 'roller'. The specific error is:
[Deployer:149158]No application files exist at
'/home/bea/bea/user_projects/domains/my/servers/myServer/stage
appapp.war'

The error occurs when the WebLogic Server is unable to locate the EAR file. The common causes for the EAR file could be :-

• ANT Deployment : The EAR file was not uploaded to a directory that the server can access.
• Console Deployment: You might need to look at "Source Availablity" [ Copy this application onto every target for me ], if you wish to copy the application to all the managed servers in a Cluster.

The error vanishes once the server can access the EAR file.
