Symptoms

A Java class was created for writing a string to a log file in case or error. This class is invoked by the Fault policies file from MDS in case of error.

The code works as follows

On remote fault, retry 3 times and then if still failing invoke the java class to write a string with some details of the instance failed in the log file.

The class was packaged in a Jar file and uploaded to /oracle/app/product/fmw_soa/11.1.1.7/soa/soa/modules/oracle.soa.ext_11.1.1/ with an updated manifest via ant.

On executing the fault with another bpel process, the Faults and retries are correctly getting invoked but when it comes to invoking the class file the following error is encounted:

Fault Recovery] Invoke on custom java action class "xx.yy.zz.bpm.service.fault.MyErrorLogger" failed with error "ClassNotFoundException".

The log files show the following error

Partner Port type={http://xmlns.oracle.com/FaultBPELProcess/FaultBPELProcess/FaultBPELProcess}FaultBPELProcess
ActivityType=invoke
]

oracle.classloader.util.AnnotatedClassNotFoundException:
