Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Tim Darby <>]

I'm in the midst of 2.1.0 testing and I ran into the same problem.  The way I got around it was to add the path to the Oracle client lib folder to the tomcat startup script.  if there's a better way, I'd love to hear from the tomcat and/or hibernate experts.

What I have here is I think a grouper/hibernate incompatibility with our setup. I wonder if anyone would be willing to comment or confirm. We have been happily using the oracle native client with grouper 1.6.3. This is required because some of the features, mainly DataGuard.

Toying with 2.1.0 revealed a problem when running the UI (full stack below).

"java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no ocijdbc10 in java.library.path"

java.library.path does indeed include a path for the OCI library to be found, but not ocijdbc10. It should be asking for ocijdbc11. I assume the other version of hibernate dealt with this differently. Attached is the grouper.hibernate.properties, for your inspection.

I know gsh probably uses GrouperStartup.ignoreCheckConfig = true

But I wonder what the difference in the test vs actual use is, and most importantly, how to get out of this situation.
