Weblogic 12.1.3.0.0 - Ehcache JMS Replication - InvalidExpressionException: Expression : "cacheManagerUniqueId

Question

I have Spring based application with Ehcache JMS Replication. I need to deploy this application to Weblogic 12, however there is following error that fails deployment:

javax.jms.InvalidSelectorException: weblogic.messaging.kernel.InvalidExpressionException:
Expression : "cacheManagerUniqueId <> 600767500

What is wrong?

Answer 1

There is similar question without solve:

• https://community.oracle.com/thread/938782

The problem with expressions, which are used to route messages in JMS of ehcache. Ehcache is open source, you can see example code (I got from github , but of course you can get ehcache source from their site, if you'd like):

String messageSelector = CACHE_MANAGER_UID + " <> " + localCacheManagerUid(cacheManager);

Despite of Weblogic, which are not open source. So I suppose you to debug code and see what happens inside

weblogic.jms.backend.BEQueueImpl.createFilterExpression

because it obviously that it doesn't support this grammar.

Possible reason could be conflict with antlr.jar library between your application and weblogic. In that case you should try to configure preferred packages in your configuration.
