[xwiki-users] New install, XWikiPreferences doesn't work - SOLVED

[Neil Sedger]

Found it eventually, seems like an OC4J quirk.

When deploying the xwiki.war click 'Edit Deployment Plan', then open the 
'war' tree segment on the left, click 'xwiki', scroll down and click 
'Edit webAppClassLoader', change 'searchLocalClassesFirst' to 'true', 
click 'Continue' then 'Ok'.


Cheers
Neil
