Known Issues

Serial Version UID Mismatch

A Serial Version UID mismatch may be encountered if you deploy an application on a latest JVM but compiled with a prior release of Sun JDK

Workaround: To be compatible with the serialization of previously compiled applications, modify the <BEA_HOME>/wlserver_10.0/common/bin/commEnv.sh file to include the following command:

JAVA_OPTIONS="$JAVA_OPTIONS -Dcom.sun.xml.namespace.QName.useCompatibleSerialVersionUID=1.0"

Alternatively, you can use the command line option:

export JAVA_OPTIONS="$JAVA_OPTIONS -Dcom.sun.xml.namespace.QName.useCompatibleSerialVersionUID=1.0"

Note: If you intend to deploy new applications with previously compiled applications, they must be recompiled as necessary to have the same Serial Version UID.

Known Issues for Solaris 10 on x86

Installation fails with Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError message.

Workaround: Increase the heap memory to a suitable size, recommended minimum -Xms to 128m and maximum -Xmx to 256m. For example: java -Xms128m -Xmx256m platform1020_generic.jar

Installation fails with Fatal error encoutered during self-extraction. Click Yes to exit, No to continue as a Net installation.[No space left on device] message.

Workaround: Redirect the /tmp directory to any local directory. For example: java -Xms128m -Xmx256m -Djava.io.tmpdir=/export/home/temp -jar platform1020_generic.jar
