Hello, I have created a web service for WebSphere that uses a basic JCS configuration. When I package and deploy for WAS under Windows on my local machine I have no issues. When I deploy that same .ear file to my WAS running on Linux I get the following exception when I try to start my service in the WAS console:

since it works fine under WAS Windows that wasn’t the problem. Then I thought maybe it was a problem with the disk auxiliary cache settings, so I removed them, that didn’t solve the problem. No matter what I do the service won’t start under Linux. Given the exception included, can somebody please point me in the right direction on how to solve the problem? Regards, Barry Lulas | Rules Ninja at Teknovare | 727.433.9839 | blu...@teknovare.com
