JSP Application Deployment Error : BIB-16632

Question

I have successfully developed , Tested in the development environment and deployed a BI Beans JSP application . But when I try to access the same JSP through the Web Context root , I am getting the following error
Error
javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: BIB-18007 A MetadataManager exception has occurred.
BIB-10100 Cannot connect to the database. (Reason: See error BIB-16632)
BIB-16632 Cannot connect to the database because the JDBC driver version is incompatible with the database version of the OLAP option.

Can anybody please help ?

Answer 1

Your middle tier has the incorrect JDBC libraries installed. The documentation on the BI Beans section of OTN explains how to deploy a BI Beans app and how to include the correct JDBC files with the deployment:
Setting up a separate OC4J instance in Oracle9i Application Server on Windows for BI Beans Deployment
Setting up a separate OC4J instance in Oracle9i Application Server on Unix for BI Beans Deployment
Deploying Applications to BEA WebLogic Server
For example in the Windows documentation, the following steps are required:
Log into the machine where you created the oc4j_bibeans instance. You must log in as the user who installed Oracle Application Server.
Create a new directory named jdbc under new_oc4j_instance. This is the name you specified in the -Djava.ext.dirs option in step 2.
Copy the JDBC driver files (classes12.jar, classes12dms.jar, and nls_charset12.jar) to this new directory. The correct source for these files differs, depending one which type of JDBC driver you are using.
If you are using the Oracle JDBC Thin (Pure Java) driver, then copy the files from the $ORACLE_HOME\bibeans\jdbc\lib_92 directory in the BI Beans installation. Do not use the files that are installed with JDeveloper.
If you are using the Oracle JDBC Thick (OCI) driver, then copy the files from the Oracle9i client or server installation. When you use the thick driver, the version of the JDBC driver files must match the version of the database client. The files are located in the $ORACLE_HOME\jdbc\lib directory, where $ORACLE_HOME is the Oracle Home for the database.
Return to Oracle Enterprise Manager and click Application Server Instance.
Select the oc4j_bibeans instance from the list and click Start. You are now ready to deploy your Oracle BI Beans 10g (9.0.4) application.
