Case

Starting a WebLogic 9.2 instance, I got this message:

[java]Server subsystem failed. Reason: weblogic.security.SecurityInitializationException: Authentication for user weblogic denied[/java]

Anyway, I checked the admin login and passwords were OK, since I had never changed them.

Stacktrace

[java]<Mar 18, 2011 11:14:03 AM CET> <Critical> <WebLogicServer> <BEA-000386> <Server subsystem failed. Reason: weblogic.security.SecurityInitializationException: Authentication for user weblogic denied

[/java]

Fix

• Go to $DOMAIN_HOME/servers/admin/data/
• Rename ldap as ldap.OLD
• Restart WebLogic admin
• Then, a file $DOMAIN_HOME/servers/admin/security/boot.properties should appear and contain the encrypted login and passwords.The issue should be fixed.

Case

I introduced an Oracle Coherence cache withing my application, which is deployed as a WAR within WebLogic  Server. In a first step, I used an instance of Oracle Coherence / Coherence Web already built in WebLogic. Then, for a couple a reasons, I detroyed the Coherence cluster. Deploying the application, the following error appeared:

[java]java.lang.RuntimeException: Failed to start Service "Cluster" (ServiceState=SERVICE_STOPPED, STATE_ANNOUNCE)[/java]

Explanation and Fix

The Coherence cluster view available in WebLogic server is a view of the Tangosol configuration, available in the files tangosol-coherence*.xml of Coherence’s JAR. To fix the issue, create a file tangosol-coherence-override.xml, in your classpath. Fill the file with a minimum content, such as:

[xml]<?xml version=’1.0′?>
<!DOCTYPE coherence SYSTEM "coherence.dtd">
<coherence>
<cluster-config>
<multicast-listener>
<time-to-live system-property="tangosol.coherence.ttl">0</time-to-live>
<join-timeout-milliseconds>3000</join-timeout-milliseconds>
</multicast-listener>
<unicast-listener>
<address>127.0.0.1</address>
<port>8088</port>
<port-auto-adjust>true</port-auto-adjust>
<priority>8</priority>
</unicast-listener>
<packet-publisher>
<packet-delivery>
<timeout-milliseconds>30000</timeout-milliseconds>
</packet-delivery>
</packet-publisher>
<service-guardian>
<timeout-milliseconds system-property="tangosol.coherence.guard.timeout">35000</timeout-milliseconds>
</service-guardian>
</cluster-config>
<logging-config>
<severity-level system-property="tangosol.coherence.log.level">5</severity-level>
<character-limit system-property="tangosol.coherence.log.limit">0</character-limit>
</logging-config>
</coherence>
[/xml]

Of course, you can amend and improve the file to match your requirements.
NB: in case your file is ignored by Coherence, override the property tangosol.coherence.override with value tangosol-coherence-override.xml.

Case

After my Java project upgrade from “Tiger” to “Mustang”, I tried to launch a “make module” within IntelliJ IDEA. I got this message

[java]javac: source release 1.6 requires target release 1.6[/java]

Fix

In IntelliJ IDEA, go to:
File > Settings > Compiler > Java Compiler > remove > Additional command line parameters > remove the parameter -target 1.5

Case

After updating my project and launching a build with Maven, I got this error:

[java][ERROR] BUILD FAILURE
[INFO] ————————————————————————
[INFO] Compilation failure
Failure executing javac, but could not parse the error:
javac: invalid flag: -s
Usage: javac <options> <source files>[/java]

Fix

Indeed the version of Java in the pom.xml had been upgraded. To get rid of the error, update your $JAVA_HOME to use a JDK 6 and no more a JDK5.

Case

Following an upgrade from Java 5 “Tiger” to Java 6 “Mustang”, I tried to deploy a WAR with Maven-WebLogic plugin. I got this error:

Fix

Edit your pom.xml, and add the two following properties:
[xml] <com.sun.xml.namespace.QName.useCompatibleSerialVersionUID>1.0</com.sun.xml.namespace.QName.useCompatibleSerialVersionUID>
<sun.lang.ClassLoader.allowArraySyntax>1.5</sun.lang.ClassLoader.allowArraySyntax>[/xml]

If needed, and if your current pom is only intented at package and deploying a WAR, you can also downgrade the Java compilation version, adding the block:
[xml] <maven.compiler.target>1.5</maven.compiler.target>
<maven.compiler.source>1.5</maven.compiler.source>
[/xml]
You can also append those properties on the head of environment variable MAVEN_OPTS.

Case

Trying to install Oracle Agent on a Windows XP SP2 desktop, I get the following error:
[java]ERROR: OUI-10038:You do not have the necessary permissions to write to the inventory at \Oracle\Inventory. Please make sure that you have the appropriate permissions to perform the installation.[/java]

Fix

Edit the registry. For the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\inst_loc, replace the value \Oracle\Inventory with C:\Oracle\Inventory

Case

I use Oracle Coherence (Tangosol) as distributed cache for a given class. This class contains a non-static Log4J’s Logger as field.
(what a Logger does in an “POJO” is not obvious and requires further development ; let’s say it is used during the development phase, but has nothing to do in a POJO and should be removed later).
When Tangosol tries to put the object in cache, I get this error:

[java]java.io.NotSerializableException: org.apache.log4j.Logger[/java]

Fix

Declare the Logger as static:

[java]private final Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(CsvFileObject.class);[/java]

In my case, the issue was fixed. If it is not, try to declare the Logger as static transient, I assume it could help.

Case

I deploy a WAR on a WebLogic server, thanks to Maven’s Weblogic plugin. For any reason, the pom.xml was modified, to add a dependency to weblogic-maven-plugin:

[xml] <plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>weblogic-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.9.1</version>
<configuration>(…)</configuration>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>weblogic</groupId>
<artifactId>wlfullclient</artifactId>
<version>10.3</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</plugin>[/xml]

From then I could not deploy anymore. I get the error:

Explanation

In weblogic-maven-plugin-2.9.1.pom, we can find the following dependencies:

[xml] <dependency>
<groupId>weblogic</groupId>
<artifactId>weblogic</artifactId>
<version>[9.0,11.0)</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>weblogic</groupId>
<artifactId>webservices</artifactId>
<version>[9.0,11.0)</version>
</dependency>[/xml]

Since WebLogic client jars are not compatibles between versions 9 and 10, a conflit of JARs appears between my pom’s dependency to weblogic:wlfullclient-10.3.jar and the plugin pom’s dependencies to weblogic:weblogic-XXX.jar and weblogic:webservices-XXX.jar

Fix

In the project pom.xml, remove the dependency to <strongwlfullclient.jar.

Case

You would like to set a System property within an application packaged as a WAR.
Of course, you may modify the launching scripts of your servers, to add an option -DmyPropertyName=myPropertyValue. Sometimes, you would like to avoid such a solution, because updating the property would require an update of the setEnv.* files and therefore a action of the exploitation team.

In my case, I had to set the property tangosol.coherence.cacheconfig, which hints at the configuration file used my Oracle Coherence / Coherence*Web

Fix

The first solution is to set the property in a startup class. For more detials, consult this page: WebLogic: use a startup and/or a shutdown class in a WAR.

Another mean to handle this problematic is to create a servlet, with a code similar to:

[java]public class JonathanBootServlet extends HttpServlet {
private static final Logger LOGGER = Logger.getLogger(JonathanBootServlet.class);
private static final String SVN_ID = "$Id$";

public JonathanBootServlet() {
super();
if (LOGGER.isDebugEnabled()){
LOGGER.debug(SVN_ID);
}
}

public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
if (LOGGER.isDebugEnabled()){
LOGGER.debug("in init()");
}
System.setProperty("tangosol.coherence.cacheconfig", "jonathan-tangosol-coherence.xml");
super.init(config);
}
}[/java]

Then add the following block in your web.xml:

[xml] <servlet>
<servlet-name>JonathanBootServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>lalou.jonathan.weblogic.technical.JonathanBootServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>[/xml]

Ensure this servlet is run before all others (1).

Case

You have an application which uses Oracle Coherence / Coherence*Web as cache manager. On redeploying the application, you get a stacktrace of which header is:

[java]Exception in thread ‘DistributedCache|SERVICE_STOPPED’ java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/tangosol/run/component/EventDeathException[/java]

Explanation

Indeed, an undeploy operation stops the services of your application. But Coherence is not launched as a service among the others: it should be considered as an independant one. Therefore, you have to stop it before undeploying your application ; otherwise, your classloader is in a confused state, and loses references to classes it had loaded before, but that should now be unloaded.

Fix

You have to stop Oracle Coherence on your application shutdown.

EAR

If your application is packaged as an EAR, then create a shutdown class with the following main():

[java]public class JonathanLalouEARShutdown extends ApplicationLifecycleListener {
public static void main(String[] args) {
CacheFactory.shutdown();
}
}[/java]

Add the following block in your weblogic-application.xml, hinting the shutdown class:

[xml]<shutdown>
<shutdown-class>lalou.jonathan.weblogic.JonathanLalouEARShutdown </shutdown-class>
</shutdown>[/xml]

WAR

If your application is packaged as a WAR, then create a class implementing ServletContextListener, and add the following block in your web.xml:

[xml]
<listener>
<listener-class>your.class.implementing.ServletContextListener</listener-class>
</listener>
[/xml]

The detailed procedure is described at this link: WebLogic: use a startup and/or a shutdown class in a WAR
