See BEA Smart Update tool.

Known Issues

The following sections provide information on known issues in AquaLogic Service Bus 3.0 on AIX:

Cannot Import/Export AquaLogic Service Bus Configuration Data JAR file (with Password-based encrypted Resources) Between IBM JVM and other JVMs such as Sun or Jrockit

There are differences in the various JDK implementations of the Password-Based Encryption algorithms used by AquaLogic Service Bus to protect resources that include sensitive data. These differences cause import to fail when an encrypted resource created with the Sun or JRockit JDK is imported into the IBM JDK or vice versa.

For information about the encryption algorithms, see Password-Based Encryption.

There is no problem in exporting and importing encrypted resources with the same JDK.

Workaround:

Export the resources without a pass-phrase by deselecting the Protect Sensitive Data flag when moving configuration JARs across different JDKs. Caution, this resources file may contain passwords that are in the clear text.

Out of Memory Exception during installation

The .jar installer used to install AquaLogic Service Bus 3.0 on AIX platforms throws an OutOfMemory Exception and does not provide a complete installation.

Workaround: Update the Java opts max heap size. For example:

java -Xms512m -Xmx512m -jar alsb300_wls100_generic.jar

 

Known Issues

The following section provides information on known issues for this release.

Serial Version UID Mismatch

A Serial Version UID Mismatch Issue may be encountered if you deploy an application on a latest JVM, but compiled with an earlier JDK release.

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"

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.

JVM Stack Overflow Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0/5.0 on AMD64 and 64-bit Xeon

You might encounter a JVM stack overflow error or exception while running WebLogic Server.

Workaround: Increase the stack size from the default 128k to 256k.
