Description
BEA WLS 8.1 SP4 failed to install, using java1.4. For
some reason, it fails to copy the "domains" directory where the
application, MedRec, resides. This application is used to test WLS.

There is no problem with java version 1.4.2_07, but it fails with 1.4.2_08.

Steps to reproduce the problem :

* java -jar pj_server814_generic.jar
Follow the instructions to complete the installation.
* the error is not indicated during installation.
* When you run the installation, it will tell you that the installation succeeded but, in the log file, it complains about not being able to write the domain. The log file is: WL_HOME/logs/samples.log

A successfull install would have the WL_HOME/weblogic81/samples/domains directory present. A failed install would not.

Release Regression From : 1.4.2_07
The above release value was the last known release where this 
bug was known to work. Since then there has been a regression.
Comments
EVALUATION The problem continues to occure while installing bea814 with mustang latest b70. Have asked customer to get proper test case in the bea814 installer code from where ZipFile is called and where the exception is thrown.

EVALUATION The bug is reproducible using Solaris-9 on spark with jre-1.4.2_08. See the InstallProcess in document attached.Ths installation process finished successfully without complaining about anything. See the attached sample.txt log file.It shows the failure of domain folder. Need further investigation on the code causing regression.
