Known Issues

Serial Version UID Mismatch

A Serial Version UID mismatch may be encountered if you deploy an application on a latest JVM but compiled with a prior release of Sun JDK

Workaround: To be compatible with the serialization of previously compiled applications, modify the <BEA_HOME>/wlserver_10.0/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.

Configuring WebLogic Server for Multi-Zone Operation

WebLogic Server can be run in multiple zones of a Solaris 10 system, with some limitations (see Migration Support for Solaris Zones), as long as the product is installed and configured to accommodate the Solaris Zones feature.

To prepare your WebLogic Server installation to accommodate Solaris Zones, complete the following procedure:

  1. During the installation of WebLogic Server, specify a directory to which all zones will have access.

    2. Note: Oracle strongly recommends this step so you can avoid installing WebLogic Server in the default root file system. If WebLogic Server is installed in the default root, all zones will require write access to root and such widespread write access is not recommended.

  2. Define a separate WebLogic Server domain for each zone so that the log files for each zone can go to a different location. If you choose, you can also configure a cluster to work across multiple zones as long as you provide read, write, and execute permissions to the domain directory to all the Non-Global zones participating in the cluster. See Understanding WebLogic Server Domains in Understanding Domain Configuration.

Migration Support for Solaris Zones

The following WebLogic Server features are not supported with Solaris Non-Global Zones:
