Error parsing application.xml when trying to publish a WebLogic 12.2.1 application

Question

I have Java web application that runs on WebLogic 12.2.1. I've never had any trouble publishing to run locally - until now.

Now I always get the following error:

weblogic.management.DeploymentException: Error parsing META-INF/application.xml

The application.xml file itself seems fine, and it definitely hasn't changed. I can't figure out what the issue is.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Thanks for the steer. It all has to do with replacing every instance of

http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/

with

http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/

in your xml files such as application.xml and weblogic.xml.
