oracle.security.jps.wls.listeners.JpsApplicationLifecycleListener Class not Found

Resolving the Exception

"oracle.security.jps.wls.listeners.JpsApplicationLifecycleListener Class not Found"  

  On re-start of a new install of OID11g on weblogic, the following error was seen:

'oracle.security.jps.wls.listeners.JpsApplicationLifecycleListener' Class not Found 

This strongly indicates an issue with the exception in Weblogic environment. Also the deployments show remain in 'Prepared' state.

The error can be fixed with setting the nodemanager property to use the weblogic startup script by changing the parameter "StartScriptEnabled=true"

This will include correct the environment during startup.

The deployments will also be activated effectively on startup.

Problems with reinstalling SOA [ERROR]:INST-07290

OIM OAM SOA implementation

I had to install OIM OAM and SOA a few times before I got it right. The box also had OID implemented on it with several thousand users. I could not afford to purge the OID datastore every time I had to reinstalled the OIM. Down the way, I had trouble with installing more than one installations of SOA in the same middleware home. 

The error stated as below :

[VALIDATION] [ERROR]:INST-07290: Specified Middleware home already has a Oracle SOA Suite 11g home. Only one Oracle SOA Suite 11g home location can reside under a Middleware home.

[VALIDATION] [SUGGESTION]:Provide a different Middleware home location

installation Failed. Exiting installation due to data validation failure.

 I found an easy workaround to get past the problem.

I had to backup the inventory.xml file in the global inventory location and comment the REFHOME LOC lines that point to the corrupted install as seen in the screenshot below :

 Then after purging the domain applications and after correcting the file $MW_HOME/domain-registry.xml, I would be all set to reinstall OIM OAM and SOA allover once again.
