Issue/Introduction

When attempting to install BO agent, the Web Service URL seems to be correct but we are receiving an timeout error when attempting to start the agent while connecting to the service url of business objects.

Server URL http://xxxx.xxx.edu:8080/test
AgentService: BusinessObjectsImpl: agentInitialization Session SessionStub axis2 socket timeout (ms) 60000

 

We have tried

http://xxxx.xxx.edu:8080/test

http://xxxx.xxx.edu:8080/test/services

 

The error message may look similar to this:

Environment

Release : 9.3

Component : APPLICATIONS MANAGER

Cause

Application tries to call a specified method of a class (either static or instance), and that class no longer has a definition of that method. this error can only occur at run time if the definition of a class has incompatibly changed.

Resolution

Error ' java.lang.NoSuchMethod '  is usually associated with another jar in the dependencies that has the same class(may be another version for the same library) but doesn't have this method. Initially we thought this was an issue with the DSWS .jar files. 

Resolved this error by using newer version of xmlbeans file - xmlbeans-2.6.0.jar. The older version was in the Axis axis2-1.6.2-bin.zip from Apache file from the installation documentation.
