We are using XE 1.3 from the war and have been building our XWiki successfully until today. We are hooked up to Oracle 10g and have been able to create content, add users, and get notices from watch jobs, so it seemed to be working fine. Today we started getting errors on adding content. First on trying to upload the mindmap.xar and then on creating a blog entry and finally on creating a new comment. All threw different Exceptions, but all had one root cause. ORA-01483: invalid length for DATE or NUMBER bind variable Here is one stack trace...
