Issue with Repository Services and Hibernate

[jjf]

I am running a Quartz batch job which uses the Repository Services to add user's to Alfresco.  After getting through a number of users, the job terminates with the following error:

There are a number of other threads which mention this error and the suggested fix seems to be to add the "-server" parameter to Tomcat.  However, I am not running Tomcat, I am running Weblogic.  Any ideas?  Is this an issue with the version of Hibernate included with Alfresco?  Perhaps there's another way to add users to Alfresco without using the repository services? 

Also, I browsed through the SVN repository but could not find any fixes in there.

Thanks.

Hi,

You can add the -server option to the JAVA_OPTS settings in Weblogic by editing the startWeblogic.cmd / startWeblogic.sh scripts in the Weblogic domain's bin directory.
