Few things which I learned and would like to share: -Before starting to install you have to trick the installer into thinking that the local JDK is the generic Sun JDK. If you skip this step the installer will not accept the default Mac OS X JDK and complain that it is Invalid. $ cd /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home $ sudo mkdir -p jre/lib $ cd jre/lib $ sudo touch rt.jar $ sudo touch core.jar -To Install, run the following command from terminal : (Updated for the "fatal error occurred while installing 10.3.2") $ java -Xms256m -Xmx1024m -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -jar -Dos.name=unix -jar server103_generic.jar -Once installation is completed, Create a new domain through "./config.sh" from "/bea/wlserver_103/common/bin" -Once the domain is created: --Need to update the env setting in " .setDomainEnv.sh " file i.e. loc...

I read this story of "Old Warwick" today. It brought a smile to my face, and I think it shares a wonderful lesson for every leader to learn. A man was lost while driving through the country. As he tried to reach for the map, he accidentally drove off the road into a ditch. Thought he wasn't injured, his car was stuck deep in the mud. So the man walked to a nearby farm to ask for help. "Warwick can get you out of that ditch," said the farmer, pointing to an old mule standing in a field. The man looked at the decrepit old mule and looked at the farmer who just stood there repeating, "Yep, old Warwick can do the job." The man figured he had nothing to lose. The two men and the mule made their way back to the ditch. The farmer hitched the mule to the car. With a snap of the reins, he shouted, "Pull, Fred! Pull, Jack! Pull, Ted! Pull, Warwick!" And the mule pulled that car right out of the ditch. The man was amazed. He thanked the farmer...
