"xdo" failed to preload on startup in Web application: "xmlpserver".

Question

I have been able to deploy OBIEE onto Weblogic 10.3 however no success in BI publisher 10.1.3.4.0. I'm using JDK 6.14, not JRockIt.
I have tried expanding the xmplserver.ear -> xmlpserver.war -> expanded files
i have used the following link to deploy
http://bipconsulting.blogspot.com/2009/04/installation-for-oracle-weblogic-server.html
the error i get is
[HTTP:101216]Servlet: "xdo" failed to preload on startup in Web application: "xmlpserver.war".

Answer 1

The stack trace indicates - some libraries can't be found:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/phaos/crypto/CipherExceptionThe missing above library comes from ojpse.jar ( which is located by default installation in $OracleBI_home/oc4j_bi/jlib/ojpse.jar ) - that let me suggest, you took your xmlpserver.war from oc4j distribution. So, in that case, a workaround could be to include this jar into classpath before starting WebLogic server. The proper solution ( i think ) - you should deploy a standalone version of xmlpserver ( if you download bi publisher and unzip this archive from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/publishing/index.html - you will find in the folder Oracle_Business_Intelligence_Publisher_Standalone/manual/generic a little differently packaged xmlpserver.war - which does include the mentioned library - under WEB-INF/lib, among some other additional libraries ). If i remember correctly, i've read it somewhere in documentation as well - about deployment bi publisher under 3rd party application server - the fully packaged version ( also not from the oc4j deployment) should be used.
