This article documents a known issue with the CKEditor when Liferay Portal 6.2 EE is deployed on WebLogic 12.1.1.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Navigate to Admin > Content > Web Content.
  2. Click Add → Basic Web Content.
  3. Assert that CKEditor appears and no exceptions in console
  4. Create a web content article: Title: Test article one
    Content: This is test article one.
  5. Click the Publish button.

Result

The web content article is not saved and the user is directed to a web content page with empty fields. Note that this behavior may also occur with other components that use CKEditor (e.g. Blogs, Message Boards, etc.)

Resolution

This issue arises because of a bug in this particular version of the WebLogic Application Server. The temporary solution:

  1. Request Patch 13657792 through WebLogic Support. Please contact your Oracle account manager if you have any issues obtaining the patch.
  2. Install the patch to the WebLogic application server. Follow Oracle's documentation on how to patch WebLogic 12.1.1.

Please note that this issue is no longer present in Weblogic 12.1.2.
