EJB errors after updating to HCL Commerce Developer Version 9.0.0.1 or 9.0.0.2

After you install the HCL Commerce Developer Version 9.0.0.1 or 9.0.0.2 Update Package, your store does not work and you notice EJB errors in the log.

Problem

The Version 9.0.0.1 and 9.0.0.2 Update Packages assume that HCL Commerce Developer Version 9.0.0.0 is already installed and that you already ran the setdbtype utility to point to your HCL Commerce database.

If you installed HCL Commerce Developer Version 9.0.0.0 and Version 9.0.0.1 or 9.0.0.2 together before you ran the setdbtype utility to point to your database, then your workspace is missing full JAR files. The updatedb process only copies the delta version of the JAR files instead of the full JAR files.

Solution

Copy all JAR files from WCDE_installdir/wc.modules/ejbs/db2.
Paste the JAR files to WCDE_installdir/workspace/WC.
Restart all servers.
