Symptoms

Customer has seen the following errors when starting the managed server that is local storage enabled. The domain is migrated from the 12.1.2.0.x to 12.2.1.x. The below error was not seen in the 12.1.2.x.x but seen in the 12.2.1.x.x. version.

Though the above error got workaround by implementing the suggestion in the <Note 2307827.1> however, it is a temporary fix. Customer do not have the override file. The <ssl> defaults are generally loaded from the default operational override file of the coherence.jar for the managed server. Default configurations are working in the 12.1.2.x.x but failed in the 12.2.1...x.x. SSL is enabled on WebLogic Servers and configured the "custom Identity and custom TrustKeystore" in WLS Admin console.

Questions:
1. Why the keystore.jks file missing error is appearing from the 12.2.1.1.0 version but not in the previous version(s). What actually changed?
2. Why there is a need to define the keystore in override xml file or specify the -Dtangosol.coherence.security.keystore=file:C:/xxx/xx.jks in server startup? What has changed with coherence 12.2.1.x.x?
