EXCEPTION [TOPLINK-108]

Question

Hi,
Did anyone run into this exception? I am getting
EXCEPTION [TOPLINK-108] (TopLink (WLS CMP) - 9.0.3 (Build 423)): oracle.top
link.exceptions.DescriptorException
EXCEPTION DESCRIPTION: Cannot find value in class indicator mapping in pare
nt descriptor [Descriptor(com.hbo.slmk.sams.element.SmMktgElement --> [Data
baseTable(SM_MKTG_ELEMENT)])].
DESCRIPTOR: Descriptor(com.hbo.slmk.sams.element.SmWebsite --> [DatabaseTab
le(SM_MKTG_ELEMENT), DatabaseTable(SM_WEBSITE)])
when deploying to WebLogic Server 7.0 SP1. The troubleshooting guide says:
Error code: 108
VALUE_NOT_FOUND_IN_CLASS_INDICATOR_MAPPING
Cause: The indicator value is not found in the class indicator mapping in the parent descriptor for the class.
Action: Check addClassIndicator(Class childClass, Object typeValue) on the inheritance policy.
But the inheritance policy in project java source looks ok.
public Descriptor buildSmMktgElementDescriptor() {
     Descriptor descriptor = new Descriptor();
     descriptor.setJavaClass(com.hbo.slmk.sams.element.SmMktgElement.class);
     descriptor.addTableName("SM_MKTG_ELEMENT");
     descriptor.addPrimaryKeyFieldName("SM_MKTG_ELEMENT.MKTG_ELEMENT_TKEY");
     // Inheritance properties.
     descriptor.getInheritancePolicy().addClassIndicator(com.hbo.slmk.sams.element.SmWebsite.class, "SmWebsite");
Would appreciate any suggestions to identify what is causing the exception.
Thanks,
Suhrob     

Answer 1

I included just a section of the code. Here is the inheritance policy in its entirety. I am getting error 108 for each of the subclasses.
