Liferay DXP and WebLogic...

For those of you deploying Liferay DXP to WebLogic, you will need to add an override property to your portal-ext.properties file to allow the WebLogic JAXB implementation to peer inside the OSGi environment to create proxy instances.

I know, it's a mouthful, but it's all pretty darn technical. You'll know if you need this if you start seeing exceptions like:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/eclipse/persistence/internal/jaxb/WrappedValue

	at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(ClassLoader.java:763)

	at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:357)

Suffice it to say that you need to override the module.framework.properties.org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation property to add the following two lines:

  org.eclipse.persistence.internal.jaxb,\
  org.eclipse.persistence.internal.jaxb.*,\

You have to include all of the packages from the value defined in portal.properties, so my entry actually looks like:

module.framework.properties.org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation=\
  __redirected,\
  com.liferay.aspectj,\
  com.liferay.aspectj.*,\
  com.liferay.portal.servlet.delegate,\
  com.liferay.portal.servlet.delegate*,\
  com.sun.ccpp,\
  com.sun.ccpp.*,\
  com.sun.crypto.*,\
  com.sun.image.*,\
  com.sun.jmx.*,\
  com.sun.jna,\
  com.sun.jndi.*,\
  com.sun.mail.*,\
  com.sun.management.*,\
  com.sun.media.*,\
  com.sun.msv.*,\
  com.sun.org.*,\
  com.sun.syndication,\
  com.sun.tools.*,\
  com.sun.xml.*,\
  com.yourkit.*,\
  org.eclipse.persistence.internal.jaxb,\
  org.eclipse.persistence.internal.jaxb.*,\
  sun.*
