Known Issues

6364924 

A node can be registered to multiple administration servers which may cause a configuration conflict.

It is possible to register a node to a second Administration Server without canceling the registration with the first Administration Server. However, this leads to the nodes becoming inaccessible to both the Administration Servers. 

Workaround:

On each registration, restart the administration node. The administration node will be available to the most recent Administration Server it has registered to. 

6379125 

wadm command allows connecting to a node, shows a certificate and then throws a 'HTTP 400 Error'.

When an administration node receives a connection, the administration node does not check the connection is from the Administration Server before proceeding. It not only prints an inappropriate error message, but also prompts the user to enter the password.  

4793938 

User and password dialog presented instead of directory index.

By default, Web Server 7.0 does not send a directory index unless the user has been authenticated. Attempting to access a directory prompts the user to enter a user name and password. This occurs because the default Access Control List (ACL) in Web Server 7.0 grants the list access right only to authenticated users. 

Workaround

You can grant the list access right to unauthenticated users using the Admin Console or by editing the default.acl file. For more information on how to grant list access right, see Configuring Access Control in Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Administrator’s Guide.

6327352 

Session replication enabled instances does not come up normally, if other instances in the cluster are not started.

6443742 

The set-session-replication-prop CLI command does not workif the 'node' option is provided with a qualified domain name.

Workaround

Use the output of the list-nodes command for the valid names of the nodes in the set-session-replication-prop command.

6450360 

The create-authdb command does not validate the URL at the time of the authentication database (authdb) creation. The create-authdb command successfully creates an authentication database with the wrong URL.

The web applications deployed within the instances' web-app directory should not create, delete, or modify files within the web application's context-root. If modified, the Administration Server considers the instance to be modified. The deploy-config displays an error message.

Workaround

Either type the deploy-config command with --force option, or, type the pull-config command.

6462040 

The create-reverse-proxy CLI command creates an unnecessary new obj.conf file for the default virtual server.

6490728 

Cannot set the rewrite-location properties using the set-reverse-proxy-prop command.

You cannot set the -rewrite-location property to false. The value specified for the -rewrite-location is not validated. For example, specifying the = symbol for the i-rewrite-location option corrupts the obj.conf file and results in parser error.

6492315 

The set-token-prop command sets wrong passwords in the server.xml file even if the token pin has not been specified.

6492469 

Incorrect error message is displayed on LDAP user creation failure.

6494353 

If an invalid node name is specified while deleting an instance, an incorrect error message is displayed.

6494950

6489727 

[JESMF CONFORM] CP when stopping should call MfManagedElementServer_stop().

6491749 

Need better validation in certain text fields to prevent obj.conf file corruption.

Most of the functional validation of the data in a form is done in the back end. The GUI has only minimal checks such as empty fields, integer values, and ASCII values. Hence, the GUI stores the data in the obj.conf when parsed gets corrupted .

6492176

6425144 

On Windows, wadm does not update classpath correctly if classpath contains a semicolon (;)

The semicolon in tcl is interpreted as a command terminator, which is used to group multiple commands in a single line. On Windows, semicolon is used as a path separator.

Workaround

Use wadm in single mode if the semicolon is used in property values.

6479247 

On Windows, dialog box to enter the token password appears on restarting an instance after the deployment. This behavior is not see on other platforms.

6482536 

<listen-queue-size> upper bound is set to 65535, which is too small. Need to increase the <listen-queue-size> upper bound.

6500715 

Incorrect ObjectType fn="force_type" added in object cgi on creation of new cgi directory.

When creating a new cgi directory, an incorrect object type force_type is added to the obj.conf file.

Workaround

• Manually edit the config/obj.conf file or the config/vs-obj.conf under https-config-directory and remove the following line.

  ObjectType fn="force_type" type="magnus-internal/cgi"

  On Windows, if shell-cgi is enabled, then remove the following line from the obj.conf file.

  ObjectType fn="force_type" type="magnus-internal/shellcgi"

• Type the pull-config command from the command line to bring over the manual change to the Administration Server configuration repository.

  • Change directory to Web Server 7.0 installation directory

  • Start the Administration Server

  • Type the pull-config command as follows:bin/wadm pull-config --user=admin --config=config-name

  Or, you can login to the Web Server Admin Console and bring over this manual change to the Administration Server configuration repository.

6366843 

Limited capability for searching web applications, servlet , virtual server or nodes by names in core monitoring.

6368605 

Configuration error can cause child processes to be re-spawned in a loop.

If a configuration error is introduced after server startup, for example, obj.conf is deleted, and a child process is killed, the primordial process attempts to re-spawn that child process in an infinite loop.

6375367 

Improper error response to time-out following incomplete request.

If you telnet to Web Server, press Enter, and wait for the time-out, the following error response is returned:  

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request

Your browser sent a message this server could not understand.

6378940 

All HTTP header parsing error are not logged with the client IP and a description of the error.

6470552 

set-variable SAF could not set predefined variable.

6479062 

Cannot dynamically reconfigure HTTP listener family. The Instance does not start on setting the protocol family to nca.

6485965 

If-modified-since processing is slow.

The server's handling of If-modified-since headers assumes that the header field value will typically match a previously sent Last-modified header field value. This is true of normal, real world clients. This is not true, however, of the SPECweb2005 driver.

6486480 

service-nsfc-dump entry hit counts are 0 with <replacement>false</replacement>.

If <replacement>false</replacement> is specified in server.xml file, entry hit counts show as 0 in the service-nsfc-dump output. However, the cache hit counts are displayed correctly.

6489220 

Server treats non-interpolated strings that contain $$ character constants as interpolated.

When a parameter value contains a $$ escape, the server constructs a PblockModel for the parameter block. This is unnecessary because $$ is a constant.

6489269 

'external' expression function with quoted path is not working.

6492407 

Front-end file accelerator cache.

Depending on ACLs and obj.conf configuration, a front end accelerator cache can service static file requests for URIs that were previously processed using NSAPI. The accelerator cache must work with the default configuration.

6496332 

File cache does not store small files on the heap and send large files with sendfilev.

With <sendfile>true</sendfile> in server.xml, the server should use sendfilev() only for files that does not fit in the heap. This enables the server to use writev() for small files and sendfilev() for large files.

6498452 

Server should not respond with '413 Entity Too Large'.

The server currently responds with a 413 Entity Too Large message when the request header is too big. 413 Entity Too Large message refers to the entity, not the header.

6498928 

Output directives are not invoked for 0-byte files.

Output directives are not invoked for 0-length responses unless protocol_start_response() is called. send-file does not call protocol_start_response() function. Output directives are not invoked when sending 0-byte files.

6501180 

Buffer-size 0 does not work.

If <buffer-size>0</buffer-size> is specified in server.xml, the server fails to correctly serve the files.

6502258 

Server crash with large output buffers.

If the output stream buffer size is bigger than the input buffer size, the server might attempt to buffer data at an invalid address. The default input buffer size is 8192 bytes.  

6504755 

Cannot disable access logging in default server instance.

The value of the <access-log> <enabled> element is ignored in the server.xml file.

6505390 

Accelerator cache does not handle ssl-unclean-shutdown properly.

The accelerator cache does not interact correctly with the AuthTrans fn="match-browser" browser="*MSIE*" ssl-unclean-shutdown="true" directive in the default configuration. When such a directive is present, the accelerator cache applies the "unclean shutdown" setting to every connection, regardless of the browser used.

On HP-UX, SNMP fails for some oid values.

Workaround

Due to lack of the HP-UX API support and complexity, network in and out traffic statistics is not implemented. Use HP tools for monitoring the traffic statistics. 

6483212 

On HP-UX 11.11, Web Server fails to start when max heap size is 2048 MBytes or greater.

Workaround

1. Ensure that patch PHKL_28428 or its updated version is present on the system. If it is not present, install the patch.

2. Type the following commands before starting the Web Server:

   • For 1500 MBytes to 2400 MBytes of Java heap: Type the following command before starting the Web Server:

     chatr +q3p enable /opt/sun/webserver7/lib/webservd

   • For 2400 MBytes to 3.8 GBytes of Java heap: type the following command before starting the Web Server:

     chatr +q3p enable +q4p enable /opt/sun/webserver7/lib/webservd

3. Start the server.

   /opt/sun/webserver7/lib is the default location of the webservd binary.

Admin Console help resources and links properties files needs to be updated.

The 'Help' button on each page of the Admin Console does not have helpFileName to display in the help popup window. The HelpLink.properties file needs to be updated.

6474011 

The basic-search.html has unclear description.

6479045 

Admin Console online help needs to be updated.

The online help needs to be updated for the following:  

1. Context-based help should be provided.

2. All screens must have a corresponding help page.

3. Help pages must reflect the changes in the GUI.

4. Inconsistent usage of terminology between the GUI and online help.

5. Fix grammatical errors.

6. Detailed description for some topics.

6482764 

Mismatch between online help and the Admin Console.

6498477 

Missing help file under config tokens page.

Common Tasks > Edit Configuration > Certificates > PKCS11 Tokens, the help file for this screen is missing. 

4928287 

Need to doc the non-existance of <instance>/lib

All documents do not inform user the non-existence of <instance>/lib directory.

Additional Information: This directory is not created by the installer. Users have to create the directory if it does not exist.

6347905 

No CLI support to configure FastCGI. Need to manually edit obj.conf or magnus.conf files to configure FastCGI.

6485248 

The fastcgi stub does not properly close all the processes when reuse-connection is set to true.

Configure Web Server 7.0 to work with PHP as a FastCGI plug-in and set reuse-connection=true. When you shutting down the server or reconfiguring the server, the fastcgi() process and its child processes are left behind and not killed properly.

6504587 

Memory leak found in FastCGI.

4988156 

Installing the stand-alone product over an existing Java ES installation and vice-versa is not supported.

Installing Web Server 7.0 as a stand-alone product over an existing Java Enterprise System (Java ES) installation is not supported. Java ES users of the Web Server must use the Java ES installer to upgrade to the newer version of the Web Server. 

6414481 

Web Server cannot be installed without installing compat-libstdc++.

Workaround:

On newer versions of Linux, for example, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, install compat-libstdc++ before installing Web Server 7.0.

6414539 

Uninstalling the administration node does not delete itself from the administration server node.

After installing the administration node and registering it with the administration server in the Node tab, the administration node is listed in the Node tab. When the administration node is uninstalled, the administration node entry remains in the Node tab. 

6503505 

On Linux, the installer does not increment or assign a new administration port number, if the default port is already in use.

6504748 

With delete instance option, instead of deleting the symbolic links, the uninstaller deletes files from symbolic links.

6287206 

Cannot install if the setup is started from a shared folder on the network.

On the Windows platform, unable to install the product when the installer setup.exe is started from a shared network folder on another machine.

6311607 

On Windows, installer crashes in CLI mode, if the administration password is >= 8 characters.

If the administration user password is greater than eight characters, then any invalid input to the administration port, web server port, or the administration user ID crashes the installer. 

Workaround:

When installing Web Server 7.0 on the Windows platform using the command-line interface (CLI), the administration password must be set to less than (<) eight characters. 

6408072 

On Windows, need icons for objects in Programs folder.

The objects in the Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 folder on Windows are created with default Windows program icons and do not have specific icons that denote Sun programs. 

6492144 

On Windows, CLI installer does not handle ctrl+c while entering the password.

The installer does not accept ctrl+c and hence the terminal becomes unusable.

6407877 

Incorrect migration occurs while migrating from Web Server 6.0 to 7.0 if the installed.pkg file is not found.

In Web Server 6.0 to 7.0 migration, if the installed.pkg file is missing, Web Server incorrectly migrates the NSServlet entries in the magnus.conf file.

6490124 

6.x -> 7.0: Migrated scheduled events still points to 6.x paths in the server.xml file.

6502529 

6.1->7.0: Migration does not handle relative path set for search-collection-dir correctly.

During instance migration, specifying a relative path for the target path into which the search collections should be copied, results in the search collection directory being created with respect to the config-store. When the instance is instantiated, the indexes are created without properly migrating the search collections.

6502769 

6.x->7.0: Migration ignores any "document-root" NameTrans specified in the obj.conf file.

6498806 

On Windows, Web Server Admin Console does not appropriately warn users during migration.

Administration Server does not detect if the selected new configuration or the service name already exists on Windows and hence does not appropriately warn the users to select a different configuration name or suggest a different configuration name as default. 

6500509 

Web Server 7.0 migration tool is unable to successfully migrate from Web Server 6.1 if it has Root Certs installed in it.

6356234 

The NameTrans map should accommodate ;- delimited URI parameters.

The NameTrans map SAF's from parameter specifies a prefix that is compared against the requested URI. If the requested URI begins with this prefix but is suffixed with a ;-delimited URI parameter, the map SAF fails to map the request.

6424569 

Map to parameter is not optional.

The map SAF's to parameter is not optional. This is useful for terminating NameTrans processing and assigning an object: NameTrans fn="map" from="/.perf" name="perf"

6424570 

All mapping SAFs should accept a name parameter.

6302983 

Samples refer to "Sun ONE" instead of "Sun Java System".

The servlet sample, LocaleCharsetServlet.java, co-packaged with Web Server 7.0 refers to “SunONE” instead of “Sun Java System”.

6472796 

sendmail.jsp shows incorrect file to be edited to specify resource.host for javamail sample application.

Workaround

To set javamail.resource.host, edit the javamail.build.properties and not the build.xml as specified in install_dir/samples/java/webapps/javamail/src/docroot/sendmail.jsp.

6475485 

digest plug-in README has an outdated documentation URL and possibly an old product name for Directory Server.

6495588 

sampleapps/java/webapps/simple docs invalid.

The documents for a simple sample application shows an incorrect pathname. The path should be install_dir/plugins/java/samples/webapps/simple/src instead of install_dir/samples/java/webapps/simple/src.

6413058 

server.xml does not store the full file pattern for converting and including search .

The schema does not store the full file pattern allowed by both the Admin Console and the search administration tools in this version of the Web Server. It also has no way to represent the full file pattern that might sometimes need migration from the previous versions of the Web Server.  

6433752 

ssl-check is not working with NSAPI based plug-in.

"PathCheck fn="ssl-check" secret-keysize=128 bong file="xxxxx.yyy.html" 

For static file requests, if the secret-keysize of the client is less than the size specified by the server and a bong file is present, then the bong file is sent back as the response. However, requests for dynamic content (for example, JSP files) return the actual requested object (for example, the JSP file) rather than the bong file.

6421617 

Problem having server-parsed HTML (ParseHTML) and .htaccess with restricted group option.

Authentication succeeds when parsing through a HTML file which has the shtml include entries and is configured to authenticate through .htaccess which has the "restricted by group" option enabled. If the group user gets authenticated, then the result page does not get shtml include entries. This however works fine with the user in .htaccess file has "restricted by user" option.

6376901 

Limitation supporting basic and digest-based ACLs for resources in the same directory.

If the server uses digest and basic-based ACLs in different parts of their doc tree, attempting to use both simultaneously on different files or resources in the same directory is not possible. 

6431287 

TLS_ECDH_RSA_* require the server cert signed with RSA keys.

Cipher suites of the form TLS_ECDH_RSA_* requires server to have an ECC keypair with a cert signed using RSA keys. Note that this precludes using these cipher suites with self-signed certificates. This requirement is inherent to these cipher suites and is not a bug. The server should detect and warn about wrong configurations related to these cipher suites but currently it does not do so.

6467621 

Request to the server fails with using of "Sun Software PKCS#11 softtoken".

Refer to the following documents for additional info on configuring the Web Server with Solaris 10 libpkcs11:

6474584 

dayofweek does not take "*" as an option.

For example, set an ACL as follows:  

acl "uri=/"; 
deny (all) dayofweek="*"; 
allow (all) dayofweek="Sat,Sun";

In this program, you are restricting access on all days of week except Saturday and Sunday. This program does not work as you can you can successfully access the ACL on a Monday. 

Workaround

Set the ACL as follows to restrict access to ACL on Monday through Friday. 

acl "uri=/";
deny (all) dayofweek="Mon,Tue,Web,Thu,Fri";
allow (all) dayofweek="Sat,Sun";

This denies the request on a Monday. 

6489913 

SSL session cache cannot be disabled.

Session cache is enabled by default. When the session cache is disabled and URL is accessed through the HTTPs protocol, the URL does not go through and the server log displays an error message indicating that the SSL cannot be configured without session-cache.

Workaround

Reduce the SSL cache size and expiration to the minimum supported values. 

6510486 

htaccess rules can become corrupted in memory.

If a single .htaccess file has more than five allow or deny rules, it is possible that some of the rules may become corrupted in memory. If this occurs, some of the rules may be bypassed.

Workaround

Limit a single .htaccess file to five rules or less.

Or, Use the ACL subsystem instead of htaccess to control access to server resources. For information on setting up ACLs, see the Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Administrator’s Guide.

6370032 

Session failover does not happen with RequestDispatcher include call.

While deploying two web applications on a cluster where the first application calls on the second application using the RequestDispatcher() include call, the persistence valves are not called during the RequestDispatcher()'s invoke() method, and session replication does not occur.

6381950 

Incorrect load factor set for BaseCache.

Session replication does not support more than two web applications. 

6381954 

Session replication fails to work on multiple web applications involving RequestDispatcher due to bad sequence.

6383313 

Incorrect path is set on SR-intanceId cookie.

The SR-instanceId cookie should be set to the web application's path instead of the servlet's path.

6324321 

Descriptive error message is not displayed when an error occurs remotely.

When an exception occurs remotely, error messages are logged in the error log of the remote instance. However, the local instance currently displays a generic remote exception which does not clearly indicate which error log that the user must view. 

6396820 

Session replication does not failover correctly when cookies are disabled on the client.

6406176 

When enabled, session replication should be the default session manager.

After enabling session replication by using the Admin Console or the CLI, or by editing the server.xml file, session replication is not really enabled. Instead, sun-web.xml needs to be manually edited.

6390112 

Java LDAP connection pool interaction issue - initial connection is never timed out.

Specifying a Java LDAP connection pool through the JVM options in the server.xml file and referencing this with an external JNDI resource when the web server is started, creates a pooled LDAP connection. With this connection, it is always marked as busy and the connection never expires.

4858178 

Web container writes to stderr.

6349517 

Incorrect web application session statistics for MaxProcs > 1 mode.

Web Server runs in multi-process mode. The MaxProcs configuration variable in the magnus.conf is used to set the maximum number of processes. If the value for MaxProcs is set to greater than 1, the Web Server uses mmap-based session manager so that the session could be shared among different JVMs. While collecting statistics from multiple processes, web application MBeans provide session for individual MBeans. There is no way to find the true number of sessions by seeing individual MBean's web application session statistics.

6394715 

Web container deletes the disabled web application MBeans object.

When the web application is disabled by setting the <enabled> element to false in the server.xml file, the web container deletes the web application's MBeans and hence treats it as a closed or deleted web application. Since disabled objects are deleted, statistics are also lost.

6419070 

No information is logged in error logs at the finest log level on successful JNDI resource creation.

6422200 

com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderImpl.parse does 1 byte reads.

When reading the server.xml file, the first line containing the XML version number and the encoding is read 1 byte at a time.

NSAPIRequest.setupRequestFields is slow.

com.sun.webserver.connector.nsapi.NSAPIRequest.setupRequestFields is slow primarily because of excessive String-->byte and byte-->String conversion when parsing Cookie headers.

6493271 

Java garbage collector activity is higher in Web Server 7.0 when compared against Web Server 6.1.

The servlet container in Web Server 7.0 creates many Java objects. 

6497803 

If a servlet is mapped to req URI formed by partial req + welcome file, the behavior is wrong.

If a web container receives a valid partial request, the web container must examine the welcome file list defined in the deployment descriptor. The welcome file list is an ordered list of partial URLs with no trailing or leading /. The Web Server must append each welcome file in the order specified in the deployment descriptor to the partial request and check whether a static resource or a servlet in the WAR file is mapped to that request URI. The web container must send the request to the first resource in the WAR that matches.

6501184 

REQ_EXIT causes javax.servlet.ServletException.

6501785 

The servlet container does not use accelerator cache when processing RequestDispatcher includes.

On Windows, dynamic reloading of JSP produces incorrect output.

6467808 

Web Services application running on Web Server 7.0 throws “NAMESPACE_ERR: Unable to create envelope from given source” exception.

This issue is with the Java API for XML Processing JAR file, primarily the xerces.jar file part of JDK version 1.5.0_08 or later. Because Web Server 7.0 uses JAXP JAR files of JDK version 1.5.0_09, the issue is seen on Web Server. Latest JAXP JAR files of Web Services 2.0 pack has the fix for this issue but the fixed JAR files are not yet part of JDK software.

Workaround

Use the JAXP 1.3.1 JAR files instead of JAXP JAR files co-packaged with JDK software. 

Follow the steps below: 

1. Create endorsed directory if it does not exist under <JRE>/lib directory.

2. Place the JAXP 1.3.1 JAR files in the endorsed directory.

   Or,

   Pass the java.endorsed.dirs system property as a JVM option in <instance_dir>/config/server.xml file.

3. Set the property to the directory containing the JAXP 1.3.1 JAR files. For Example:

   <jvm>
   <jvm-options>-Djava.endorsed.dirs=/opt/SUNWjax/share/lib</jvm-options>
   </jvm>

6385933 

After creating the configuration, a multi-byte name becomes garbage.

1. Click on the Configurations tab.

2. Select Copy or Create Configuration.

3. Type a multi-byte string in the Name of Configuration filed and enter other information in the screen.

4. Click the Finish button.

   Displays the list of configurations that includes a string ??? instead of the entered name. You cannot restart the instance.

6316881 

Multi-byte characters in headers can not be retrieved by req.getHeader().

The characters are not parsed correctly, when request.getHeader() is called.

5046634 

There is no functionality equivalent to use-responseCT-for-headers in Web Server 7.0.

Response header encoding is enabled at the web-app level by setting the value of the configuration parameter use-responseCT-for-headers to any of the values; yes, true, or on in the web-app/sun-web.xml file.

For example, set Response header encoding as follows: 

<sun-web-app>
 <parameter-encoding form-hint-field="j_encoding"/>
 <property name="use-responseCT-for-headers" value="true" />
 <session-config>
 <session-manager/>
 </session-config>
 <jsp-config/>
 </sun-web-app>

On Windows and HP-UX, file handle is not released by webservd process under certain conditions.

1. Access the Web Server Admin Console through the login URL.

2. Select the 'Configuration' tab from the administration page.

3. Select a configuration link, and then select the 'Virtual Server' link.

4. Set 'Negotiate Client Language' to enabled and note your language, such as "zh-CN".

5. Click the 'Save' button.

6. Restart Web Server by clicking the 'Deployment pending' link in the Admin Console or manually.

7. In Internet Explorer, type a nonexistent URL, for example, http://yourmachine/xyz.

   The "page not found" is displayed in Internet Explorer 6.

Expected Result: The "Not found" page should be displayed correctly in Internet Explorer instead of the "page not found" error.

Portal Server configures JVM stack size to 128K (too low) for Web Server 7.0 64–bit to start.

If Web Server 7.0 is already configured in 64–bit mode, and the Portal Server installation is started, Portal Server configuration does not set stack size to 128K. However, if both Portal Server and Web Server are already installed and configured in 32–bit mode, switching to 64–bit mode involve series of manual steps that are described in the Workaround section. 

Workaround

If Portal Server part of Java ES 5 is deployed on top of the 32–bit version of Web Server 7.0, and if you would like to start the server in 64-bit mode, perform the following steps: 

1. # install_dir/bin/wadm delete-jvm-options --user=admin --port=8989 --password-file=passfile --config=HOST_NAME "-Xms512M -Xmx768M -Xss128k"

2. # install_dir/bin/wadm create-jvm-options --user=admin --port=8989 --password-file=passfile --config=HOST_NAME "-Xms512M -Xmx768M -Xss512k"

3. Increase the native stack size of Web Server 7.0 to 139264 by typing the following command:

   # install_dir/bin/wadm set-thread-pool --user=admin --config=config_name --password-file=filename native-stack-size=139264

4. Deploy the configuration.

   # install_dir/bin/wadm deploy-config

schemagen/xjc/wsgen/wsimport scripts not present in Java ES Web Server installation.

schemagen/xjc/wsgen/wsimport scripts are present in different locations in Java ES installation and stand-alone installation of Web Server.

Workaround

The scripts are part of the Web Services components. In a stand-alone Web Server installation, these scripts and JAR files are located in install_dir/bin and install_dir/lib directories respectively.

In Java ES installation, scripts and JAR files are installed as part of the shared component and they reside outside the Web Server installation root.  

The location of scripts and JAR files on different platforms are listed below: 

Solaris OS: 

• Scripts are under /opt/SUNWjax/bin directory.

• JAR files are under /opt/SUNWjax/lib and /usr/share/lib directory.

Linux and HP-UX: 

• scripts are under /opt/sun/bin and /opt/sun/share/jaxb/bin directories.

• JAR files are under /opt/sun/share/jaxb/lib, /opt/sun/share/lib and /opt/sun/private/share/lib directories.

Windows: 

• Scripts are under <JES_installation_dir>\share\bin and <JES_installation_dir>\share\jaxb2\bin directories.

• JAR files are under <JES_installation_dir>\share\jaxb2\lib and <JES_installation_dir>\share\lib directories.

6432106 

Sun Java System Portal Server search throws exception after Web Server upgrade.

Portal Server search functionality throws exception when upgrading Web Server from Java ES 4 to Java ES 5.  

Workaround

Move the existing libdb-3.3.so and libdb_java-3.3.so library files to an appropriate location, somewhere outside the Web Server's private directories. Once the Portal Server libraries are in a suitable location, that path must be specified for the <libdb-3.3.so path>:<libdb_java-3.3.so path> in the following commands.

On Solaris platform, perform the following steps: 

1. Copy the libdb-3.3.so and libdb_java-3.3.so files from Web Server 6.1 lib directory to an appropriate location.

   ---

   Note –

   For HP-UX, the files are libdb-3.3.sl and libdb_java-3.3.sl. For windows, the files are libdb-3.3.dll and libdb_java-3.3.dll.

   ---

   ---

   Caution –

   Do not copy the library files to Web Server 7.0 private directories (For example, lib directory).

   ---

2. Create a directory (mkdir) by name /portal_libraries. Copy the library files libdb-3.3.so and libdb_java-3.3.so to /portal_libraries.

3. Use the wadm command to inform the Web Server about the location of the library files.

4. Get the current native library path setting by typing the following administration CLI command:

   get-jvm-prop -user=admin --config=hostname native-library-path-prefix

   Save the output.

5. Append the copied libdb-3.3.so and libdb_java-3.3.so path to the existing native library path by typing the following administration CLI command.

   set-jvm-prop --config=hostname native-library-path-prefix=<existing native library-path>:</portal-libraries-path>

   where, portal-libraries-path is the location of where you copied the libdb-3.3.so and libdb_java-3.3.so files in Step 1.

   If you do not get any results or output for the get-jvm-prop command, at the command prompt, set the native-library-path-prefix:

   native-library-path-prefix=</portal-libraries-path>

6. ---

   Note –

   For Windows platform, use ';' as the separator for native-library-path-prefix parameter as follows:

   native-library-path-prefix=<existing native libarary path>;<portal-libraries-path>

   For non-Windows platform, use the ':' as the separator for native-library-path-prefix parameter as follows:

   native-library-path-prefix=<existing native libarary path>:<portal-libraries-path>

   ---

7. Deploy the modified configuration by typing the following command:

   deploy-config [--user=admin-user] config-name

Migration logs reports a bogus "root is not a valid user" message on Java ES 5.

While migrating from Java ES 4 to Java ES 5 on UNIX platforms, the migration log file reports WARNING: "root is not a valid user". This is incorrect as the "root" user is valid on that host.

6453037 

A lot of warnings/info messages displayed at Web Server startup on the standard output instead of routing these messages to the log file.
