Error occurred during action execution: com.jayway.jsonpath.JsonPath.parse(Ljava/lang/String;)Lcom/jayway/jsonpath/DocumentContext;

Here is workaround steps:

1. Copy following files on RA Management Server.
   　<RA Server>/actionlib/json-path-2.0.0.jar
   　<RA Server>/actionlib/json-smart-2.1.1.jar
2. Paste 2 files to following directory on RDK machine.
   　<Tomcat>/webapps/RDKServer/workingDirectory/
3. Move following files to external RDK directory for backup.
   　<Tomcat>/webapps/RDKServer/workingDirectory/json-path-0.9.1.jar
   　<Tomcat>/webapps/RDKServer/workingDirectory/json-smart-1.2.jar
4. Export action packs using RDK.
   If the action pack has same version, it will replace old definition on next step.
5. Import action packs using Automation Studio.
