CR 6948937: Activating OpenSSO 8.0 Update 2 in WebLogic Server 10.3.3 admin console causes exceptions

If you deploy OpenSSO 8.0 Update 2 (opensso.war) in the WebLogic Server 10.3.3 administration console and click Start to allow OpenSSO 8.0 Update 2 to start receiving requests, exceptions are thrown in the console where the WebLogic Server domain was started.

Note: After you start OpenSSO 8.0 Update 2, it remains started and exceptions are not thrown again until OpenSSO 8.0 Update 2 is stopped and then restarted.

Workaround. Copy the saaj-impl.jar file from the OpenSSO 8 Update 2 opensso-client-jdk15.war file to the WebLogic Server 10.3.3 configuration endorsed directory, as follows:

1. Stop the Oracle WebLogic Server 10.3.3 domain.

2. If necessary, unzip the OpenSSO 8.0 Update 2 opensso.zip file.

3. Create a temporary directory and unzip the zip-root/opensso/samples/opensso-client.zip file in that directory, where zip-root is where you unzipped the opensso.zip file. For example:

   cd zip-root/opensso/samples
   mkdir ziptmp
   cd ziptmp
   unzip ../opensso-client.zip

4. Create a temporary directory and extract the saaj-impl.jar file from opensso-client-jdk15.war. For example:

   cd zip-root/opensso/samples/ziptmp/war
   mkdir wartmp
   cd wartmp
   jar xvf ../opensso-client-jdk15.war WEB-INF/lib/saaj-impl.jar

5. Create a new directory named endorsed under the WEBLOGIC_JAVA_HOME/jre/lib directory (if endorsed does not already exist), where WEBLOGIC_JAVA_HOME is the JDK that WebLogic Server is configured to use.

6. Copy the saaj-impl.jar file to the WEBLOGIC_JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/endorsed directory.

7. Start the WebLogic Server domain.
