NotSerializableException

java.io.NotSerializableException

NotSerializableException is described in the javadoc comments as:

Thrown when an instance is required to have a Serializable interface. The serialization runtime or the class of the instance can throw this exception. The argument should be the name of the class.
author: unascribed version: 1.14, 12/19/03 since: JDK1.1

NullPointerException

java.lang.NullPointerException NullPointerException is described in the javadoc comments as: Thrown when an application attempts to use null in a case where an object is required. These include: Calling the instance method of a null object. Accessing or modifying the field of a null object. Taking the length of null as if it were an array. Accessing or modifying the slots of null as if it were an array. Throwing null as if it were a Throwable value. Applications should throw instances of this class to indicate other illegal uses of the null object. author: unascribed version: 1.19, 12/19/03 since: JDK1.0 Where is this exception thrown?

Recovering WebLogic Passwords

In one of my previous articles ( here ) I explained that the SerializedSystemIni.dat file in WebLogic contains the key used to encrypt and decrypt passwords. If you're not currently keeping this file secure I suggest you do, as with it someone can (to name a few things): Decrypt the WebLogic admin username and password from boot.properties. Recover database passwords, if JDBC Connection pools are configured, from config.xml. Recover the keystore passwords from config.xml and obtain SSL certificates stored in the jks keystores. Essentially, they can do whatever they want, so if you don't know who can read your SerializedSystemIni.dat files, look... now. In this article I will show how easy it is for this file to be used to recover lost passwords via a simple WLST script. The Script The script I use to decrypt passwords is incredibly short, and it works with WebLogic 8, 9 and 10 (probably for version 7 too). To use it, just create a new file called decryptpwd.py and paste the fol
