BUG - Error when deploying to 10.1.3 AS Preview 4 on Linux

Question

I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3 EA on a Windows machine and am deploying to Oracle Application Server 10g 10.1.3 Preview 4 on a Linux box. I'm deploying an ADF Struts web project that is having troubles displaying my sceens. When I try to view any one of my JSPs, I get this error:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: oracle.adf.share.http.ServletADFContext.setVariableResolver(Ljava/lang/Object;)V

Using a java decompiler, I've been able to locate the method setVariableResolver() in the ADFContext class which ServletADFContext.java extends. This can be found in the adfshare.jar. So I have no idea why the server can't find this method when I know it exists. I thought maybe I had an old adfshare.jar and so I replaced it everywhere I found it on the app server with the jar file that comes with JDev 10.1.3 EA. But this proved to be a dead end, as well as everything else I've tried. I've even tried reinstalling the app server. Has anyone else installed App Server 10.1.3 Preview 4 on a Linux box? Is there some qwerk that you found to get it working?
Additionally I have created a very simple project with nothing but a JSP and it works. So I'm led to believe that there is some ADF JAR file that is not quite right. My ADF Struts web project worked using the same app server on Windows 2003. However I ran into a different problem with that: BUG - Connection pooling with 10g 10.1.3 Preview 4 App Server
So we have decided to make the move to Linux but I can't get past this error. I have updated the ADF Runtime Libraries and I've swapped out the JDK and JRE with 1.5. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

The adfshare.jar does not get included with my app. I've checked my WAR file and this JAR is not found there. I'm completely stumped at this point. Have you had success using Oracle App Server 10.1.3 Preview 4 on Linux?
I have made some progress narrowing down where the error occurs. When I add data bindings to a JSP, the following code gets added to my web.xml:
   <filter>
     <filter-name>ADFBindingFilter</filter-name>
     <filter-class>oracle.adf.model.servlet.ADFBindingFilter</filter-class>
     <init-param>
       <param-name>encoding</param-name>
       <param-value>windows-1252</param-value>
     </init-param>
   </filter>
   <filter-mapping>
     <filter-name>ADFBindingFilter</filter-name>
     <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
   </filter-mapping>
   <filter-mapping>
     <filter-name>ADFBindingFilter</filter-name>
     <url-pattern>*.jspx</url-pattern>
   </filter-mapping>
   <filter-mapping>
     <filter-name>ADFBindingFilter</filter-name>
     <servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
   </filter-mapping>
If I delete this code out of my web.xml file, that error message goes away. The ADFBindingFilter class is also included in the error stacktrace. So I'm thinking that this class is the culprit. I'm convinced this is a BUG with Oracle ADF and Linux.
Another idea perhaps is that the error occurs because I'm developing in JDeveloper on Windows and then deploying to an app server on Linux. My embedded server on Windows runs my app just fine. I have the same OS setup for JDev 10.1.2 and the app server 10.1.2 and I have no problems with that. But I really don't want to have to go back to 10.1.2.
