Issue

  • After an upgrade from 7.4 U69 to U73, the following errors are seen when deploying Liferay to WebSphere:
ERROR [Framework Event Dispatcher: Equinox Container: a2a85eaa-5ae8-4b66-87a5-4315e923a260][Framework:56] FrameworkEvent ERROR

Environment

  • DXP 7.4

Resolution

  • The issue might simply be because of the use of HSQL instead of an external database, if you see this line in the startup log:
INFO [server.startup : 0][DialectDetector:153] Using dialect com.liferay.portal.dao.orm.hibernate.HSQLDialect for HSQL Database Engine 2.7
[6/14/23 14:11:45:343 GMT] 0000005f webapp I com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.webapp.WebApp log SRVE0292I: Servlet Message - [liferay-dxp#liferay-dxp-7.4.13.u73-20230419073742119.war]:.Initializing Spring root WebApplicationContext
  • Do the following:
  1. Try a workaround of shutting down, deleting the /data/hypersonic and /osgi/state folders and restarting the bundle
  2. Or connect to an external database
