uPortal 3.0 with IBM JDK

[Chris Wagner-10]

Has anyone successfully built and deployed a uPortal 3 instance using
the IBM JDK? IBM JDK is being used being that the operating system for
the system is AIX 5.3.

The issue we are seeing:

SEVERE: Could not instantiate serializer
com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.serialize.XMLSerializer:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.serialize.XMLSerializer
java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not instantiate serializer
com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.serialize.XMLSerializer:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.serialize.XMLSerializer

Amongst other ClassNotFoundExceptions.

This is due to the fact that the IBM JDK defines these classes without
com.sun. Is anyone aware of a simple solution to this issue?

Thank you,

Chris

Chris,

This appears to be an issue with the configuration of Castor that Pluto
uses when parsing portlet.xml and web.xml files:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/CASTOR-2411

I don't have much time to dig into it today but I'll see what I can do
as far as finding a way to allow deployers to change that configuration.

Actually one thing to try.

Add a JVM startup property of org.apache.pluto.useJaxp=false and then
make a copy of the xerces jar in tomcat/shared/lib.

If that works you can make the uPortal build include that xerces
automatically by editing uPortal/uportal-ear/pom.xml, find the
'pluto-descriptor-impl' dependency and remove the exclusion of the
xerces JAR.

Please let us know if that works.
