Use of Kodo 3.4 with WL 10.0

Question

We migrate portal 8.1 app to portal 10.0 platform, where fair
portion of code is Solarmetric Kodo 3.4.0 based (JDO 1.0).
Since upgrade to BEA Kodo 4.1.3 (JDO 2.0) implies code/config
changes and extra license cost, we would prefer to continue
using current version of Kodo.
As suggested at http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs100/ejb30/using_kodo.html,
we added
<wls:prefer-application-packages>
<wls:package-name>javax.jdo.*</wls:package-name>
<wls:package-name>kodo.*</wls:package-name>
<wls:package-name>com.solarmetric.*</wls:package-name>
</wls:prefer-application-packages>
to weblogic-application.xml and and had Kodo 3.4.0/jdo 1.0 libraries
added to WEB-INF/lib of webapp by which they are actually used.
FilteringClassLoader does not work as-is due to known outstanding issue
with obsolete weblogic-application.xsd (CR302645), so we used workaround
by removing the schemaLocation attribute for the 9.0 schema from
the DD and pointing to local xsd in weblogic.jar.
Now, upon application redeployment, it seems to experience problems with
DOM parser that leads me to assume that it might be related to the
change we've done in weblogic-application.xml.

I am just wondering if anyone familiar with the problem and may suggest something. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Answer 1

For reference (others wondering where the certification info is):
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12844_01/doc/bip.1013/e12692.pdf
This is dated January 2009. More than likely, the later version of AS will work as (pretty much) all Oracle products will be backwards compatible. But, even within the certification matrix, Oracle states that not every possible combination has been tested.
"In general, Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher server can be run in any J2EE application server that supports Java 5.0 (1.5). Java application servers support a wide range of operating systems, processors and bus
architectures. Please refer to the support and certification documentation of the J2EE application server vendor to determine which platforms and processor architectures are supported."
