Error when adding Portlet Provider

Question

I installed the JPDK and got the samples to work standalone in the browser, but I get an error when trying to add the samples as a provider.
An error occured when attempting to call the providers register function (WWC-43134)
An unexpected error occured : ORA-29540 : class oracle/webdb/provider/web/HttpProviderDispatcher does not exist (WWC-43000)
I would appreciate any assistance. Thanks.

Jon,
So, you received the sample page in the browser when hitting the following URL? http://host.domain:port/servlet/sample
The HttpProviderDispatcher is actually a Java Class already stored in the database. The error message is coming from Portal and not the JPDK.
Log into the Database as your main Portal schema, i.e Portal30.
Type the following SQL statement:
SELECT object_name, object_type, status
FROM user_objects
WHERE object_name like '%HttpProvider%';
Note: The name between quotes is case sensitive.
You should receive the following back.
/3334f18_HttpProviderDispatche
This actually is oracle/webdb/provider/web/HttpProviderDispatcher.
If this does not come up, check the following:
SELECT count(object_name)
FROM user_objects
WHERE object_type = 'JAVA CLASS';
You should receive at least 334. Check for invalid JAVA CLASS objects and missing JAVA CLASS objects, you may have something wrong with your Portal installation. If it is simply invalid objects, recompiling might help.
Hope this helps,
Sue
