12c AdminServer 12.1.3 not starting and ending with error Critical WebLogicServer BEA-000386 Server subsystem failed. Reason: A MultiException has 6 exceptions.

Symptom:

A MultiException has 6 exceptions.  They are:
1. java.lang.AssertionError: Cannot export non clusterable object with jndiName:weblogic.jndi.internal.RootNamingNode@69f01d6c:
2. java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to perform operation: post construct on weblogic.jndi.internal.RemoteNamingService
3. java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: While attempting to resolve the dependencies of weblogic.management.mbeanservers.runtime.internal.RuntimeServerService errors were found
4. java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to perform operation: resolve on weblogic.management.mbeanservers.runtime.internal.RuntimeServerService
5. java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: While attempting to resolve the dependencies of weblogic.cacheprovider.CacheProviderServerService errors were found
6. java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to perform operation: resolve on weblogic.cacheprovider.CacheProviderServerService

       





Cause:

This issue is caused by entry of the following JAVA_OPTIONS parameter '-Djavax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory=weblogic.xml.stax.XMLStreamInputFactory' when deploying into WebLolgic 12c. 

In WebLogic 12c, the built-in WebLogic Server XML Input factory implementation class is com.ctc.wstx.stax.WstxInputFactory, and the XML Factory Input should be set to this value.  Due to a documentation bug, the manual deployment guide for P6 is still referencing the 11g implementation class, causing the reported issue to occur. 

Fix:

Edit setDomainEnv.sh

locate the line:

JAVA_OPTIONS at the end (added by the installer)

change it to:

export JAVA_OPTIONS="-Djavax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory=com.ctc.wstx.stax.WstxInputFactory -Dcom.sun.xml.namespace.QName.useCompatibleSerialVersionUID=1.0 -Doracle.jdbc.V8Compatible=true ${JAVA_OPTIONS}"
