End of the post got cut off, but it should be what you are looking for. I know its a ton to look through, thanks for doing that. One line that stands out immediately before the exception is the following: [Loaded weblogic.jdbc.common.OracleBlob] the weblogic.jar file was brought over to provide access to a specific logger that the code required. This stands out after a cursory inspection, but may be unrelated, I have no idea. This weblogic Oracle definitely seems as if it should not be used here though.
