Solution

This error can be resolved through using the jdbc4 URL to run the acpload utility:

acpload.bat <jdbc:db2://db2server:50000/mydb> <dbuser> <dbpassword> <input_filename> <schema_name>

For example:

acpload.bat "jdbc:db2://localhost:50000/mall" dbuser dbuserpwd defaultAccessControlPolicies.xml

Undefined superclass error, encountered when building the LOBTools project

Sample error

undefined superclass wcfButton for class wcfPunchOutEditServiceButton

Solution

Backup the contents of the RAD95\SDP\dropins\wcde\eclipse\plugins directory.
Remove the following Java archive files, and subdirectory from this directory:
1. com.ibm.commerce.toolkit.internal.openlaszlo.migration_.jar*
2. com.ibm.commerce.toolkit.internal.openlaszlo.migration.validation_.jar*
3. com.ibm.commerce.toolkit.internal.openlaszlo_* (directory)
Place a copy of these removed files into the directory from before the Java 8 migration.
Close Rational Application Developer.
From the command prompt within the RAD_installdir, run the following command:
```
eclipse.exe -clean
```
Open Rational Application Developer.
Rebuild the LOBTools project.
