Sun Java System Federation Manager 7.0 Release Notes

Update the Java Web Services Developer Pack packages before installing on Solaris 9/10. (6334913)

A fresh installation of the Solaris Operating System v.9/10 contains older versions of the following packages:

SUNWjaxb
SUNWjax
SUNWwscl
SUNWxrpcrt
SUNWxsrt

These older versions are numbered 7.x. The newer versions installed by the Federation Manager installer are numbered 1.2.x. Because of this numbering convention, the newer packages will not be installed. Thus, the Java Web Services Developer Pack (JWSDP) packages need to be manually updated prior to installing Federation Manager. If this is not done, the installation might be successful, but a user will not be able to login to the Console due to a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError exception.

Note –

The package timestamp can be used to verify which package is older.

WORKAROUND: Before installing Federation Manager, use pkginfo -l to check that the shared packages are the supported version as stated in the Sun Java System Federation Manager 7.0 User’s Guide. If an older package is found, remove it manually using pkgrm. The installer will deploy the correct packages.
