Known Issues and Limitations for the Sun Java Enterprise System 4 Release

Installation

The Application Server log contains Java exceptions, but the install is successful. (6320674)

Description:

The following Exceptions may appear in the Application Server log during the Portal Server installation:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:

com.sun.mobile.filter.AMLController

Solution:

None. This behavior is normal.

Access Manager

Installation of Access Manager on BEA WebLogic 8.1 throws an exception. (6285776)

Description:

Installing Access Manager on the BEA WebLogic 8.1 web container causes an exception to be thrown in the BEA WebLogic logs.

Additionally, errors occur when starting WebLogic and when logging into amconsole.

Solution:

None.

Communication Channels

The password field for the communication channels displays the password. (6280707)

Description:

The password filed for the communication channels contains the value before the channel is configured.

Solution:

None.

The Universal Web Client (UWC) Calendar does not come up through the gateway. (6218353)

Description:

Clicking the Launch Calendar link displays an error message.

Solution:

Perform the following steps in the gateway for UWC to work with the gateway.

1. Login to Admin Console and click on the gateway profile under Service Management.

2. Enable cookie management under the core tab.

3. Add Calender, Messaging and UWC urls with port numbers in the list box for “URls to which session forwarded.”

4. Under the Rewriter tab, enable Rewrite all URLs.

5. Restart the gateway.

The Launch Address Book link does not appear if proxy authentication is enabled. (2126154)

Description:

By default, when UWC is enabled, the cookie webmailsid is used by Messenger Express. The Launch Address Book does not appear for the Portal AddressBook channel. The appropriate options must be set in order to workaround this bug.

Solution:

Use one of the following workarounds:

• If UWC is installed, the option local.webmail.sso.uwcenabled is set to “1” for Messaging Server. This value signals Messenger Express to use a cookie. Set the option local.webmail.sso.uwcenabled to “0” with the configutil tool.

• Verify that the option local.service.http.cookiename is left blank or is not set.

Secure Remote Access

The installer doesn't check to verify if the required rpm is installed. (6295727)

Description:

The installer doesn't check Linux systems to verify if the required rpm (gettext-0.10.38-7.rpm) is installed.

Solution:

None.

Gateway

The amconsole Login Page after a fresh install is different from the amconsole Login Page after an upgrade of Access Manager. (6295051)

Description:

The amconsole Login Page that is displayed after a fresh install is different from the amconsole Login Page after an upgrade of Access Manager from Java Enterprise System 3 to Java Enterprise System 4.

The Logout page that is displayed is also different between a fresh install and an Access Manager upgrade.

Solution:

Restart the Mozilla browser to get the correct login or logout page.

The Secure Remote Access init scripts try to run /etc/init.d/cron. (6300415)

Description:

The init scripts for the Secure Remote Access proxies (netletd and rwproxyd) try to stop and start cron using /etc/init.d/cron, but cron is managed by SMF in Solaris 10.

Solution:

On a Solaris 10 system, after starting the gateway watchdog process, issue the command:

svcadm restart cron

WSRP

WSRP functionality is broken on Linux with the BEA WebLogic 8.1 web container. (6285752)

Description:

During configuration of the WSRP producer, adding the created producer and consumer causes an error to occur.

Solution:

None.

Search

Need instructions for removing components except search server. (6298021)

Description:

No easy way exists to remove all components except a search server during the unconfiguration process.

Solution:

Use the following example to specify a search server that does not exist.
