Informix Error -9490

-9490 No manifest file found for jar (%s).

All deployment descriptions that install_jar() needs to process must be listed in the manifest file for the jar. Make sure that the manifest file is created correctly for the jav. If no deployment descriptors are to be processed, pass a value of '0' as the last parameter to the install_jar() built-in procedure.

Oninit® Troubleshooting Guidance

Reasons / Common Causes

-9490 fires when install_jar() is called with deployment descriptors to process but the jar has no manifest file listing them — per the official guidance.

The jar's manifest file missing, while deployment descriptors need processing, per the official guidance — the direct, only cause; all deployment descriptions that install_jar() needs to process must be listed in the jar's manifest file.

Solutions / Resolution

Make sure the manifest file is created correctly for the jar, per the official guidance.
If no deployment descriptors need to be processed, pass a value of '0' as the last parameter to install_jar(), per the official guidance.

Examples

Installing without deployment descriptor processing

EXECUTE PROCEDURE install_jar('file:/path/to/myjar.jar', 'MyJar', 0);

Diagnostic Checks

Check whether the jar has a manifest listing its deployment descriptors, and add one or pass '0' to install_jar() if none are needed.
