[Geoserver-users] Weblogic 10.3 / GeoServer 2.4.1

NORMAN_MANN · November 19, 2013, 11:56am

Hi,

Has anybody managed to get GeoServer 2.4.1 working on Weblogic 10.3?

I think there are various classloading conflicts going on, and would appreciate some help resolving them.

For example, out of the box I get errors similar to the following.

Constructor threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils.write(Ljava/io/File;Ljava/lang/CharSequence;)V
at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.BeanDefinitionValueResolver.resolveReference(BeanDefinitionValueResolver.java:275)
at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.BeanDefinitionValueResolver.resolveValueIfNecessary(BeanDefinitionValueResolver.java:104)
at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.ConstructorResolver.resolveConstructorArguments(ConstructorResolver.java:495)

at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.autowireConstructor(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:925)
Truncated. see log file for complete stacktrace

If I configure weblogic to “prefer” web-inf/lib classes (by adding true into weblogic.xml) I get errors simiar to the following.

Caused By: java.lang.ClassCastException: weblogic.xml.jaxp.RegistryDocumentBuilderFactory cannot be cast to javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory

at org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionReader.loadBeanDefinitions(XmlBeanDefinitionReader.java:334)
Truncated. see log file for complete stacktrace

If I try to only prefer certain packages by doing something like this in Weblogic XML

org.apache.* org.springframework.*

Then starting the geoserver application within weblogic takes a long time (10 minutes?) then eventually runs out of memory.

weblogic.application.ModuleException: PermGen space

Truncated. see log file for complete stacktrace

The reason I am trying to upgrade GeoServer is because version 2.1.1 security doesn’t seem to work. I have tried various things, but seem to get a 404 returned because there is no geoserver/accessDenied.jsp. This seems to happen consistently. On each application start, I get one 401 returned, then from then on (even if correct credentials are supplied) I get a 404. No more 401’s are returned on any browser, on my desktop! Just a constant 404 . Any pointers on that would be appreciated too.

Thanks in advance,

Norman

Have you searched the maiiing list archives? Believe there was some
discussion about 10.2,
maybe what was found is applicable to 10.3 too.

About the permgen error, GeoServer depends on a lot of external libraries,
it's almost guaranteed
it won't start with the default settings in a container that uses a lot of
permgen
for itself such as Weblogic, you should try to increase it.

Hi,

I have the same problem (weblogic 10.3.5) trying to upgrade from 2.1.3 to 2.4.1 (I need some of the new WPS processors). I think is not related to a class loading but to some error when trying to upgrade the security model.

When I try the deploy of the new war with my 2.1.3 version data dir, I have:

Same error in the AdminServer log.

If I use the data dir contained in the war (so, no upgrade is performed) , modifying the web.xml to point to the new dir, I have:
