Installing the 10.1.3.3 or 10.1.3.3.1 patch

Problem: I came across this good article over forum and thought of sharing it. When installing the 10.1.3.3 or 10.1.3.3.1 patch, some people are getting an error when they go to the BPEL Console. The error is:

[java.lang.NoSuchMethodException]com.collaxa.cube.ejb.impl.FinderBean.tryLookupInstanceByReferenceId(java.lang.String, com.oracle.bpel.client.auth.DomainAuth)Exception Trace:java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: com.collaxa.cube.ejb.impl.FinderBean.tryLookupInstanceByReferenceId(java.lang.String, com.oracle.bpel.client.auth.DomainAuth) at java.lang.Class.getMethod(Class.jav[a:1581)

Solution:

Let me first clear this, I don't know what's causing the problem, except that sometimes the installer misses a step. A certain server-side JAR file was not updated during the installation of the patch. You can copy it from the client-side. Obviously you start these steps after you installed the patch.

1. Delete SOA_HOME\j2ee\home\applications\orabpel\ejb_ob_engine.jar (or move it if you want to keep a copy of it)

2. Copy SOA_HOME\bpel\system\j2ee\ejb\ejb_ob_engine_oc4j.jar to SOA_HOME\j2ee\home\applications\orabpel

3. Rename SOA_HOME\j2ee\home\applications\orabpel\ejb_ob_engine_oc4j.jar to ejb_ob_engine.jar

4. Restart your server

Hope it works fine...
