Oracle SOA Suite development error: 'jca.retry.count' must be a positive number

Problem:

After developing an Oracle SOA Suite 11g composite and attempting to deploy it directly from Oracle JDeveloper 11g, we get the following error in the JDeveloper logs:

[11:24:23 AM] Received HTTP response from the server, response code=500

Solution:

This error was because value of Attempts in the database adapter configuration wizard was set to zero. This must be a positive (non-zero) number. This value maps directly to jca.retry.count.

1. Set the Attempts or jca.retry.count value in the DbAdapter to a value greater than 0.

Applicable Versions:

• Oracle SOA Suite 11g (11.1.1.x)
