Creating a Custom Authentication Provider in Oracle WebLogic Server 12.1.2.0.0

Question

I am creating a Custom Authentication Provider in WL 12.1.2.0.0 using the MbeanMaker utility to take the MDF file ( http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E12839_01/web.1111/e13718/mdf_ref.htm#DEVSP573 ) and generate the MBean and stubs. This is my MDF file:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE MBeanType SYSTEM "commo.dtd">
<MbeanType Name = "DevicesAuthentication" DisplayName = "DevicesAuthentication"
  Package = "fr.telecom.ws.security.iap"
  Extends = "weblogic.management.security.authentication.Authenticator"
  PersistPolicy = "OnUpdate">

<MbeanAttribute Name = "ProviderClassName" Type = "java.lang.String"
  Writeable = "false"
  Default ="&quot;fr.telecom.ws.security.iap.DevicesAuthenticationProviderImpl&quot;"
  />

<MbeanAttribute Name = "Description" Type = "java.lang.String"
  Writeable = "false"
  Default = "&quot;Traces Authentication Provider&quot;"
  />

<MBeanAttribute Name = "Version" Type = "java.lang.String"
  Writeable = "false" Default = "&quot;1.0&quot;"
  />
</MBeanType>

but when I run the utility I got this strange error:

Parsing the MBean definition file: MyAuthentication.xml
java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Developpement\Workspaces\EclipseWS\MyAuthenticationProvider\src\commo.dtd (The system cannot find the file specified)

Answer 1

It seems it didn't find "commo.dtd" , As mentioned in the doc Copy WL_HOME\\server\\lib\\commo.dtd to the same directory as the xml file

Example commo.dtd file
