Hi Dani,
Eventually I found the problem, it is reported in Oracle Support as Doc ID 1503173.1.
It seems jDeveloper is a bit special when adding Directories to the MAR file. If the whole directory "/oracle" is added, the adf-config.xml introduces the following line:
namespace metadata-store-usage="WebCenterFileMetadataStore" path="/oracle"/
As a result, this diverts all /oracle/... file and class requests to MDS, which causes failures.
So when editing the MAR deployment profile be careful to select the sub-directories under /oracle/webcenter/portalapp/ one by one.
Added to this, I had to perform the cleaning process you suggested to make it work too, otherwise I get a different error...
Final steps are:
1. Undeploy application.
2. Delete MDS partition.
3. Shutdown managed server.
4. Delete /cache and /tmp content for the managed server.
5. Start managed server.
6. Exectute Clean all in jDeveloper.
7. Create a new mar deployment as described in SR 1503173.1.
8. Deploy to EAR file.
9. Deploy new application to managed server using Enterprise Manager.
And it works!
Thanks for your help!
