Error while deploying JCA connector :-

Question

Hi,
Im trying to deploy a JCA connector to WebLogic 9.1.
The same connector deployed fine to WebLogic 8.1, but throws the following exception now at 9.1 :-
<i>weblogic.connector.exception.RAConfigurationException: There are 1 nested errors: weblogic.descriptor.DescriptorException: VALIDATION PROBLEMS WERE FOUND C:\connector.rar\META-INF\ra.xml:31:7:31:7: problem: cvc-complex-type.2.4a: Expected element 'security-permission@http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee' instead of 'outbound-resourceadapter@http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee' here in element resourceadapter@http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee:</i>
I have no element for outbound-resourceadapter.
This is my ra.xml :-
<connector>
     <resourceadapter>
     <managedconnectionfactory-class>...</managedconnectionfactory-class>
     <connectionfactory-interface>...</connectionfactory-interface>
     <connectionfactory-impl-class>...</connectionfactory-impl-class>
     <connection-interface>...</connection-interface>
     <connection-impl-class>...</connection-impl-class>
     <transaction-support>NoTransaction</transaction-support>
     <authentication-mechanism>
          <authentication-mechanism-type>BasicPassword</authentication-mechanism-type>
          <credential-interface>javax.resource.spi.security.PasswordCredential</credential-interface>
     </authentication-mechanism>
     <reauthentication-support>false</reauthentication-support>
     <security-permission>
          <description>testing with all</description>
          <security-permission-spec>grant { permission java.security.AllPermission; };</security-permission-spec>
     </security-permission>
     </resourceadapter>
</connector>

Hello Swarna:
I believe than rather than deploying the MDM4J.jar, you should deploy this components:
com.sap.mdm.tech.mdm4j.sda
com.sap.mdm.tech.connector.sda
BPMDMTECHN00_0.sca
BPMDMAPPLI00_0.sca
Once you deploy those, you should have no problems. Another solution would be to take your MDM4J.jar and wrap it into an SDA, then deploy, but that would be pretty much the same.
Those components are included on your MDM CD. Please ensure you use the same Version/support package/hotfix all over your landscape.
I hope that helps
