App in Jdev 9041 won't run to 9052 or 1012

I have a BC4J/JSP application originally developed in Jdev 902. It has been in production for a while already, and has been migrated all way through 9034 and 9041 (build 1436). This is a relatively simple application, only BC4J is involved, no Stunts, no UIX or anything else. It works pretty well so far. However, I am having problem migrating it into 10g now. I got the same error (see below) with either Jdev 9052 (build 1618) or 1012 (build 1811). It opens (migrated by the Wizard), and compiles without any error. It actually runs and I have got to the login page. And then it’s throws an NoSuchMethodError exception upon login. My application supports dynamic credentials. The debug output indicates that it could not get the internal connection, though the user connection was successful. Any ideals for this error are greatly appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.
Following is the stack trace:

Sometimes the hardest problems have the easiest solutions...because the user is stupid. Yeah, thats me. Somehow I had saved an Aperture 3 trial serial number in a text file and was copying-and-pasting that instead of the serial number printed in my retail packaging.
The AppleCare rep Christian was a great help in discovering the problem. Correct serial number worked like a charm. Text file updated for future reference.
Lesson here: always check the details; make no asusmptions.
Thanks all, including Christian!

  • Apps are there but won't run

    I have a 3g (not "s") phone. Just upgraded to 3.0 and the upgrade seemed to me to be pretty quick and easy to do. All contacts, mail, etc are all there and working fine (I sync with MM).
    What is not working are any of my apps (the ones you purchase, not the built in ones). If I try to start an app, I see the title page for about 1 second, then the app simply closes. I have tried checking for updates of the apps in iTunes, but they are all the latest version.
    So either, the v2.1 apps are not compatible with 3.0 (unlikely) or I've missed a step somewhere (very likely!). Any ideas?

    "I have this problem too, how do you do the new disclaimer thing"
    On the phone itself ....
    press the iTunes icon & wait for itunes to load (much slower than before)
    tap the music button (botton left corner of screen)
    try to download a song (try a free one if you have no credit in your account)
    you will be prompted for your itunes password .... enter the password
    you will then be presented with a user agreement to read and agree to. follow the screen instructions and click the agree button where needed ... you then get a screen showing the balance in your account.
    go back to the music screen and download a song to check it all works and your phone is active with your account.
    the apps should then work.

  • EJB 3.0 App won't run on OAS 10.1.3.1 AIX5L

    Hi All,
    I'm developing Application with Struts + JSP + EJB3.0 with JDev 10.1.3. It runs well on embedded OC4J with JDev. And it runs well also on Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.1 + Windows XP Prof. But when I deployed it on Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.1 + IBM AIX 5L which is my production environment, the application won't run.
    I try to narrowing down the problem, so I create a simple EJB3.0 Application. It consist of 1 Entity from Table (JPA/EJB3.0) and the entity has queryFindAll() method. One simple Facade Session Bean EJB invoke it. 1 JSP file call a class that do the context lookup to SessionBean EJB.
    This simple application runs well on both platform, i.e Windows XP Prof and IBM AIX 5L.
    But when I try to create an application that has complex relationship, i.e has relation many-to-many and one-to-many, the application wont run on OAS 10.1.3.1 on IBM AIX5L. Instead, it runs well on OAS 10.1.3.1 on Windows XP Prof.
    this is the error messages in log.xml from OAS 10.1.3.1 on IBM AIX5L:
    [SessionEJB:public java.util.List tintin.model.SessionEJBBean.queryBiOfficesFindAll()] exception occurred during method invocation: oracle.oc4j.rmi.OracleRemoteException:

    What could be the root cause of these errors? I've tried to compared all components that are installed on WinXP box and AIX5L. I can't find any clue of it.
    Could someone please help me? Thanks...

    I found Error Code for TOPLINK here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/toplink/doc/10131/main/_html/errcode007.htm
    but it is strange, that my error exception is TOPLINK-7158:
    7158: ERROR_PROCESSING_NAMED_QUERY_ANNOTATION
    Cause: Error encountered when building the @NamedQuery annotation from entity class ClassName.
    Action: Ensure the correctness of the annotation specification.
    how come that error only occured in OAS 10.1.3.1 on AIX 5L, but it didn't occur in OAS 10.1.3.1 on Windows XP Pro?
    Is it really the root cause or OAS throws wrong exception code? Could someone from Oracle help me please?

  • BC4J Tester won't run with SunJCE provider enabled in JDev 903

    I have a working BC4J project that I can access via the Tester and via code in JDev 903. The Module is deployed in 'Local' mode.
    I go into <jdev_home>\jdk\jre\lib\security\java.security and add the following line:
    security.provider.3=com.sun.crypto.provider.SunJCE
    I can no longer run the BC4J Tester - I get "java.lang.NullPointerException" - that's it - in the log window when I try to run the tester. I can still access the BC4J Module via code, just as before enabling the SunJCE provider, its just the Tester that won't run. My code that uses the SunJCE provider runs fine.
    I then comment out the new line in java.security, and the Tester runs fine again. (But, of course, my code that needs the SunJCE provider does not...)
    Note that I added this provider as the lowest order provider - the following is how java.security is setup when JDev is installed:
    security.provider.1=sun.security.provider.Sun
    security.provider.2=com.sun.rsajca.Provider
    Any thoughts or ideas?
    Thanks,
    Jim Stoll
    (I need this provider for something else I'm doing which uses both the SunJCE provider and BC4J, independent of each other)

    Hi,
    Can you create a JClient project to test your application module? I have not found why it failed in Tester when using SunJCE privider, but found that if I create a simple JClient using the same application module, it work.
    Thanks,

  • 5800: apps missing / won't run / "key icon" overla...

    A few apps went missing on my 5800, also under Application manager. They're on the SD, and I think all Java. Some apps also started showing a small key icon overlayed at the corner of each app's icon. These apps can't be run.
    A restart didn't help, nor a restart without the card and a live reinsertion. After another restart the key icon overlays disappeared but these apps still won't run. They could only be reinstalled after an uninstall, but those that disappeared are stuck in limbo.
    Besides the above, one app that was preloaded on the card now has an empty icon, and after two restarts its name shows as a 9 digit number (see below). It can't be run.
    All of this on firmware v31. As far as I can tell I didn't do anything to trigger it.
    Are there any non-destructive ways to fix it?
    Is there a way to use Symbian without all these strange problems popping up all the time (with the usual solution seemingly being total reset/format)?

    ur symptoms lead to a diagnosis of corrupt memory card.. Have u installed any of those java programs from free game sites tht, while installin, says ur phone could be harmed? Coz those java games r a bit unstable on nokia5800.. I knw it shouldn't be.. But... It is.. Sometimes there's a read/write error and then they show key icons..
    Whatever to solve this, do this..
    Connect with computer
    When asked choose mass storage mode
    Open my computer
    U'l find ur memory card listed
    Right click, goto properties
    There's an option for check disc for errors
    Select tht and let it scan and fix errors
    After u r done, see if u can uninstall those in limbo.
    If not connect again in mass storage mode
    Go to ur computer settings and as to show hidden files, and also show important windows files
    Open ur memory card
    U'l find a FOUND.000 folder.. Delete it
    It's unusable by symbian os and it takes on space
    Restore ur hidden file settings to normal.
    Hope this helps..

  • HT4314 how do I turn off a game after playing so the app won't run down my battery?

    How do I turn off a game after playing it so the app won't run down the battery. This has happened 2x and I have had to reset my phone.

    To completely close an app (though a lot of apps don't remain active when you switch into a different app or go to the homescreen) : from the home screen (i.e. not with the app that you want to close 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

  • Automator app won't run from double-click

    automator app won't run from double-click in finder or from alert from ical. Will only run if I open in automator editor.
    I found a solution on my own. I opened activity monitor and all the automator apps that I run daily were hanging up and the auromator launch was hanging up. I force quit them from the activity monitor. Now it works again.

    I might have gotten there eventually on my own, but I suspect finding your post saved me a lot of work. Thanks for posting your solution.

  • Just updated to 2.0.1, now app's won't run!

    I have several app's that worked perfectly with firmware V2.0.0, but won't run at all under firmeare V2.0.1. I select the app (for example 'Pandora'), it goes to the splash screen for a second or two, then returns to the iTouch top menu. Any idea what's wrong?

    Actually, I'm not sure anymore what was going on. Like you, my apps's would stay open for about two seconds and then it would go back to the home screen. Deleting and re-installing Pandora did get some app's working, but not all. I then went through and uninstalled each app that didn't work, but discovered some couldn't be reinstalled. I did notice that some of the app's that I installed free were now charging money. Perhaps part of the problem is the app originator changed a flag here and there which effectively disabled the original release of the software... the equivalent of a trial period after which the program is deactivated.

  • Several apps stopped working -- won't run

    Macbook 2GHz 2GB
    OSX 10.4.10
    Hi all,
    Today I've had several apps stop working -- meaning, when I run them, their icon will bounce a couple times and then disappear, and the program never runs.
    Googling led me to try deleting pref files -- one program had a pref file, I deleted it but no difference. The other apps didn't have any pref files.
    I've repaired disk permissions. I've uninstalled/reinstalled each program.
    I've been using them with no problems until today. The Macbook did try a software update today, but kernel panicked in the middle of installing -- not sure if that could cause it. I've tried Software Update again but it finds nothing.
    Any help will be VERY much appreciated. I've never had this happen before, and can't seem to find much about it.
    Thank you!

    Tutorial: What to do when a Mac OS X application will not launch
    It’s a frustrating scenario: You click on a regularly used application only to find that it will not launch – either bouncing indefinitely in the Mac OS X Dock or simply providing no feedback whatsoever. There are a number of potential solutions for this problem, ranging from simple and relatively quick to more tedious.
    Update prebinding Many cases of application launch-failure can be resolved easily by simply updating prebinding, via the following steps:
    1. Log in as an administrator
    2. Open the Terminal (located in Applications/Utilities)
    3. Type: sudo update_prebinding -root / -force and press Return.
    4. When prompted for a password, enter your admin password, and press Return again. The process may take a few minutes, and you may see various messages flash by. The process is complete when the Terminal returns to a normal prompt.
    5. Type exit and press Return.
    6. Check for the capability to launch the problematic application.
    Kill process in activity monitor Killing an application-related process via Activity Monitor (click the item then press the 'Quit Process' button) can allow proper application launch. This is especially applicable in situations where a restart cures problems with application launching, as the offending process(es) will, of course, be killed by the restart process.
    Launch Activity Monitor (located in Applications/Utilities), then find the process associated with the problematic application, then quit it and attempt re-launching the applications.
    Delete appropriate .plist files A non-launching application can be the result of a corrupt or otherwise defunct associated .plist file (for more information on exactly what a .plist file is, see this series of articles)
    Most of the preferences files that we will be talking about are stored in a folder named Preferences, and located in the Library folder of your home directory, e.g.:
    * ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist.
    Go to the ~/Library/Preferences folder, and search for any .plist files that may be associated with the application you are having trouble with. Drag the .plist file(s) [many applications have more than one associated .plist file, so be careful to scour for all of them] to the Desktop, then re-attempt launching the application.
    You can also use an application like Preferential Treatment to check for corrupt .plist files.
    Re-install the application Try re-installing your application from its original media or download source.
    If an Apple application or component is not launching properly, you might need to restore it from the Apple installation discs per the instructions in our tutorial "Re-installing Apple applications from a Mac OS X disc/update package using Pacifist."
    Clearing caches Try using a utility like Tiger Cache Cleaner, OnyX, or Cocktail to perform series of system cache deletion routines. Go from light, to medium to deep (the ordinal levels are defined differently in each application), checking to see if your afflicted application launches properly after each.
    Also, check the following folder for application-specific cache files that can be deleted, or at least temporarily removed:
    /Library/Application Support (look inside the folders here for files that end with .cache, and delete them)
    Make sure permissions are correct A range of permissions issues can effect Mac OS X applications, causing them not to launch.
    In these cases, the first thing to try is a disk permissions repair routine using Apple's Disk Utility (located in Applications/Utilities).
    Failing that, startup from your Mac OS X installation disc (insert it, then restart while holding down the "C" key). After the startup process is complete, go to the "Utilities" menu and select Disk Utility. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button.
    In some odd cases (usually after a backup or when transferring backed up data back to a startup device), permissions on the "MacOS" directory (the directory that normally stores the executable binary in a Mac OS X application) can become incorrect.
    In order to fix this problem, use the following steps:
    1. Click on the afflicted application to select it in the Finder
    2. Either click the application while holding the control key, or use the "Action" menu (the icon looks like a gear) to access the option "Show Package Contents"
    3. Open the "Contents" folder therein, and then find the "MacOS" folder
    4. Modify the permissions on this folder to give it "execute" permissions for all users. Do this by opening the Terminal (located in Applications/Utilities) and typing the following command (don't press return afterward):
    5. sudo chmod 755
    6. After typing this, drag the "MacOS" folder to the Terminal window -- its path should appear. Press return, and you will be prompted for your administrator password, which you should enter.
    The "MacOS" directory should now have read, write and execute priveleges for the owner, and read and execute privileges for the group and others.
    Check CoreAudio As noted in Knowledge Base article #301658, some Apple applications might not open fully or at all if the Digidesign Core Audio driver has been installed as part of a Pro Tools version 6.9 installation.
    Apple says to follow these steps if you are affected by this issue:
    * Updating your Digidesign Core Audio driver may resolve the issue. You can find the latest versions for Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) and Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) at http://digidesign.com/download/coreaudio. If that doesn't help, continue to step 2.
    * Open Audio MIDI Setup (/Applications/Utilities).
    * Click the Audio Devices tab.
    * From the Default Output pop-up menu, choose Built-in Audio.
    Check for errant plug-ins Some application launch failures can be caused by problematic plug-ins or other add-ons. Safari and other Web browsers are notorious for suffering from this issue, as are some other extensible applications like iMovie.
    Check the following locations for any recently added files, or any files implicated in error messages generated when you attempt to launch the problematic application:
    * /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    * ~/Library/InputManagers
    Re-apply the Mac OS X combo updater Try re-applying the latest Mac OS X combo updater from Apple's software downloads page. Doing so can resolve issues with system components or delete specific files that can resolve application launching issues.
    Create a new user account Try creating a new user account, and check if the application launches under it. If so, a user-specific corruption issue is likely at play -- see the above sections regarding .plist files and caches. See our tutorial "Common workaround -- create a new user account" for more information.
    Archive and Install As a last resort, try performing an Archive and Install process, which will retain some user settings but otherwise leave you with a fresh Mac OS X installation.
    Also, check with the application's developer for compatibility notes regarding the version of Mac OS X you are running, and revert to an earlier iteration if necessary.
