Known Issues
Doing a Complete Install With a Generic Installer
If you are performing a complete install of a WebLogic product (e.g. WebLogic Server, WebLogic Portal, WebLogic Integration) by using the generic installer (.jar) on a platform where Eclipse is not supported or not installed, you might encounter a situation where the generic installer will go into a repeated loop condition. If you are experiencing this condition refer to the Installation Guide, specifically the "Install Eclipse Location Options" section for more information on how to handle the installation.
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_10.3/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.
Increase MaxPermSize
You may need to increase the MaxPermSize
parameter based on application requirements. For example: For the WebLogic Portal Dynamic Visitor Tools sample, you may need to increase the MaxPermSize
from 128MB to 256MB.
Working with Large Objects via RMI over IIOP
If your application involves working with very large objects via RMI over IIOP, you might encounter the following exception:
java.rmi.MarshalException: ; nested exception is: org.omg.CORBA.MARSHAL: vmcid: 0x0 minor code: 0 completed:
Workaround: Increase the size of the JVM thread stack using the -Xss
option on the command line. By default, the stack is set to 512 KB; modify it depending on the size of the object in question.
Unable to Start WebLogic Server While Logged in as root
If you start or install WebLogic Server while logged in as root, while using the JDK, the server may fail to start and throw a java.security.ProviderException
. If this happens, complete the following procedure:
- In a text editor, open the
java.security
file in the directory JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security
, where JAVA_HOME
represents your JDK installation directory.
- Find the
securerandom.source=file:/dev/urandom
entry. Change it to:
securerandom.source=file:/dev/random
- Save the
java.security
file with your changes and close it.
- While still logged in as root, restart WebLogic Server.
Issues Related to WebLogic Integration 10.3 With 64-bit JDK
- With sample domains, the sample domains get started but the native I/O is disabled. The following message is displayed in the console log while WebLogic Server is starting:
"Unable to load performance pack. Using Java I/O instead."
This issue occurred because WebLogic Server was getting started with the 32-bit JVM (HP JDK).
Workaround:
Update WebLogic Server start script with the following:
export USER_MEM_ARGS with " -d64"
- After applying the workaround to Issue 1, the native performance pack gets loaded but a PermGen space error is thrown and the server does not start. The following error is displayed:
"Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space."
Workaround:
You need to pass "-d64" and other memory arguments to the "USER_MEM_ARGS" environment variable before running startWeblogic.sh.
export USER_MEM_ARGS=" -d64 -Xms256m -Xmx512m -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m "
- When
./stopWeblogic.sh
is run to stop the server that is running in production mode, it asks to provide the username and password. The issue here is that the password is not hidden. The password is printed in clear text.
Workaround:
The password will not be echoed when you do the following:
export JAVA_OPTIONS="-d64 ${JAVA_OPTIONS}"
