JBoss 7 AS and Essbase APS Embedded mode

Wow,

Well 1 year later (or so), here is the solution. Kudos to Iris for finding this out and to Oracle for actually fixing something I cared about. As you might notice from previous notes, upgrading to any JBoss application server after 4 (5-7.2) broke our products ability to to connect to Essbase using an APS server in embedded mode. That's an incredibly esoteric expectation, so if you're here I expect you know what I mean, if you don't, move along it doesn't matter.

The solution ultimately was to use the ojdl.jar library from the Essbase 11.1.2.2 release. No previous release works (AFAIK) but the way the logging library cast failed no longer occurs.

So that's it...get your latest ojdl.jar and you're back in business. We continue to find embedded mode the way to go for intense Essbase communication problems. Having said that, a 64bit instance of APS as available in 11.1.2.0+ should have the same capability as embedded mode when deployed in a modern (6/7) 64bit JDK.
