HI Daniel,

Had googled out email exchanges that you had with other developers on ORO 
problems in Weblogic. Thought you might be interested in below findings (we 
had the same problems too, unfortunately, we found them 6 months too late to 
be of use to other users):

Below is found in the manifest file of weblogic.jar which seems to indicate 
that weblogic is using jakarta-oro-2.0.4.jar in its use of the Ant tool (I 
cannot find it in the ant.jar)

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: Apache Ant 1.5
Main-Class: weblogic.Server
Implementation-Vendor: BEA Systems
Implementation-Title: WebLogic Server 8.1 SP1  Fri Jun 20 23:06:40 PDT
  2003 271009
Implementation-Version: 8.1.1.0
Class-Path: wlcipher.jar webservices.jar xmlx.jar ojdbc14.jar Eccpress
oAsn1.jar EccpressoCore.jar EccpressoJcae.jar ant/ant.jar ant/optiona
l.jar ant/jakarta-oro-2.0.4.jar ../../common/perf/java/dirig.jar ../.
./common/perf/java/dsJMX.jar ../../common/perf/java/AgtMX.jar wlbase.
jar wlutil.jar wlsqlserver.jar

Since Weblogic 8.1 SP2 is not out yet, I guess there are 2 ways to solve the 
problem:

a. Put the new ORO library at the start of the classpath (which might have 
some unintended side effects).
b. Do not use any ORO functions after version 2.0.4

I'm new to Java, so do let me know if there are better ways to solve the 
problem.

The problem was tricky for us because the jar files are not referenced in 
the usual shellscript files when starting up Weblogic.

Hopefully, this info would be useful to other people using ORO, who might 
write you.
