PK97812: EXCEPTION WHEN INSTALL WEBSPHERE COMMERCE DEVELOPER ON RAD

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Client installed following products:
  1) RAD
  IBM Rational Application Developer 6.0.1.2
  IBM 32-bit Runtime Environment for Java 2, v1.4.2 SR9
  IBM Rational Application Developer Interim Fix 001 for Rational
  Application Developer, Version 6.0.1.2
  .
  2)Websphere Application Server
  IBM Websphere Application Developer 6.0.2.35
  
  And then client tried to install IBM Websphere Commerce
  Developer 6.0 over RAD, by following instruction in following
  URL:
  
  http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wchelp/v6r0m0/index.jsp
  ?topic=/com.ibm.commerce.esupport.doc/html/Installation/swg21243
  206.html
  
  According to above URL, client run a setup.bat to install WCD on
  RAD, setup.bat actually call ANT task which perform setup.xml(I
  have uploaded that on FTP), to create wte profile, configure
  testing server, deploying applications etc, please reference
  attached setup.xml.
  
  When performing setup.xml, client got following error:
  
  <--exception-->
  !ENTRY com.ibm.etools.ejbdeploy 4 0 Aug 07, 2009 13:33:53.696
  !MESSAGE java.lang.NoSuchFieldError:
  com/ibm/CORBA/iiop/PartnerVersion.UNKNOWN
  at com.ibm.rmi.util.RepositoryId.<clinit>(RepositoryId.java:162)
  
  at java.lang.Class.initializeImpl(Native Method)
  at java.lang.Class.initialize(Class.java:339)
  at com.ibm.tools.rmic.iiop.Type.setRepositoryID(Type.java:1030)
  at
  
  I also uploaded their log file, by checking log file, we can
  find the exception thrown at line 66 ejbdeploy task.
  
  Client find that this problem only happen when they applied
  'Java SDK 1.4.2 SR13 for V6.0.2' on WAS, if they uninstall the
  JDK fixpack and revert to SR9, the setup runs correctly.
  
  As in exception log file, there is RMIC component involved, WCD
  supporter asked JDK support team if this is RMIC problem, they
  analyzed the log file, and can find following:
  
  1) As there is' j9n142-20070708 (JIT enabled)' shown in log
  file, this version number shows used JDK is still SR9;
  
  So this problem looks like  RAD EJBDeploy is not picking up the
  right JDK after JDK upgrade.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• The JDK in WebSphere Application Server 6.0.2 has changed such
  that some of the classes are not compatible with those in JDK of
  Rational Application Developer 6.0.2.
  

Problem conclusion

• The class loader in Rational Application Developer 6.0.2 will
  load the changed classes in a way that will not encounter the
  incompatibilities in the changed classes.
  

Temporary fix
