Known Issues

Serial Version UID Mismatch

A serial version UID mismatch is encountered when using Weblogic Server with Sun Java 2 JDK 5.0 (version 1.5.0_03 or later) and JRockit 5.0 (R27.1).

Workaround: To be compatible with the serialization of perviously compiled applications, modify the <BEA_HOME>\Weblogic91\common\bin\commEnv.cmd file to include the following command:

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.

Known Issues for Microsoft Windows Server 2003 on AMD64 and 64-bit Xeon

The Java Component Object (jCom) feature, available with WebLogic Server, is not supported on Windows 2003 on Itanium, AMD64, or 64-bit Xeon.
The JMS C client API is not supported for configurations based on AMD64 or 64-bit Xeon with a 32-bit JDK.

Known Issues for Other BEA Products
