Exception:[HTTP:101216]Servlet: "AppManagerServlet" failed to preload

Question

Hi
I am getting the below exception while trying to publish my EAR to weblogic 10.3 server.
I have another EAR which gets deployed successfully but for this EAR I am getting this exception.I compared both the EARs but there is no much difference.
Could any one please help me in resolving this issue?
Searched in google but could not find a solution.

Hi,
This issue is fixed and included in Oracle WebLogic Portal 9.2 MP3, 10.2 and later versions. It is recommended to upgrade to one of those versions to avoid this issue.
please refer to KM note 1061492.1 on how to apply and download the patches
If upgrade is not an immediate option, then the following one-off smart update patches can be applied to fix this issue.
WLP Version | Patch ID | Passcode
9.2 MP1 | ELAR | K34IBY2Y
9.2 MP2 | W4M2 | EWSNLNUW
10.0 MP1 | F69U | 34LV4NQX
Once the patch is applied, clear the cache of all your existing domains following the steps:
Stop all server(s).
Delete any 'stage', 'tmp' & 'cache' directories under %DOMAIN_HOME%\servers\adminserver
Delete any 'stage', 'tmp' & 'cache' directories under %DOMAIN_HOME%\servers\%YOUR_MANAGED_SERVER_NAME%
Start the admin server
Start the managed server(s)
Regards,
Kal
