javax.jms.InvalidSelectorException when calling javax.jms.QueueSession.createBrowser() in weblogic12c

Question

after upgrading Weblogic version from 10.3.6 to 12.1.2 i get javax.jms.InvalidSelectorException

when calling JMS API

javax.jms.QueueSession.createBrowser(Queue queue, String messageSelector)

the selector i'm using is

String selector = "JMSTimestamp < " + timeStamp + " AND JMSRedelivered = false";

does anyone knows what can cause the issue ? what am i missing ?

Not sure why it worked on WL10.3.6 and on WL12 its not (didn't change the code)

Answer 1

after a lot of investigations we saw that we had a configuration which we used in weblogic 10.3.6 , we configured for the classloader the specific antlr.jar instead of the implemented version in WL

weblogic-application.xml contained :

<prefer-application-packages>
        <package-name>antlr.*</package-name>
    </prefer-application-packages>

Answer 2

Both the hibernate and drools package contains this antlr jar. You have to exclude the antlr package and use the one weblogic provided.
