UnsupportedCallbackException: Accessing the HttpServletRequest from a custom auth provider

There could be more than one cause of this problem but here is what cause it for me:

My custom provider was the first provider in the list and was set to sufficient.

I got an UnsupportedCallbackException when I tried to use the ContextHandlerCallback to retrieve the request in my provider.

This was due to the fact that weblogic log in was using my provider and it uses the SimpleCallbackHandler (boo hiss).

Here is my code: (I throw an login exception and fail the login if the callbacks are null for my login)

  private Callback[] getCallbacks() throws LoginException{
    Callback[] callbacks = new Callback[3]; // need one for the user name
    callbacks[CALLBACK_USERNAME_POSITION] = new NameCallback("username: ");
    callbacks[CALLBACK_PASSWORD_POSITION] = new PasswordCallback("password: ", false);
    callbacks[CALLBACK_CONTEXT_POSITION] = new ContextHandlerCallback();

    try{
      callbackHandler.handle(callbacks);
    } catch (IOException e){
      e.printStackTrace();
      throwException(e);
    } catch (UnsupportedCallbackException e){
      System.err.println("UnsupportedCallbackException:" + e.getMessage());
      return null;
    }
  return callbacks;
  }
Get the Request after obtaining the callback:
private HttpServletRequest getRequestCallback(Callback[] callbacks){
  ContextHandlerCallback cb = (ContextHandlerCallback)callbacks[CALLBACK_CONTEXT_POSITION];
  if (cb != null){
    return (HttpServletRequest)cb.getContextHandler().getValue("com.bea.contextelement.servlet.HttpServletRequest");
  }
  return null;
}

ADF Encountered deferred syntax #{ in template text.

OracleJSP error: oracle.jsp.parse.JspParseException:  Error: Encountered deferred syntax #{ in template text.  If intended as a literal, escape it or set directive  deferredSyntaxAllowedAsLiteral This normally happens when you have some tag lib dependancy problems but this was  not the case for me... My problem: For some reason my model project had web stuff in it(public html etc)  so I had to remove the public html stuff from my project and manually edit the Model.jpr project file and remove the tag lib entries at the bottom o the file. Go figure.    

JBO-25013: TooManyObjectsException

oracle.jbo.TooManyObjectsException: JBO-25013: Too many objects match the primary key oracle.jbo.Key[Key null ]. Ok so for you it may be trying to insert a duplicate record this should explain your problem (also check trigger they could be the cause.) NOTE: You can also try to create a new duplicate EO if you have a page with two VO's using the same EO. This could sort your problems. For me I needed to add a launch listener on my LOV and clear the cache of my vo. LOV <af:inputListOfValues id="NameId" popupTitle="#{bindings.Name.hints.label}" value="#{bindings.RolName1.inputValue}" label="#{bindings.RolName1.hints.label}" model="#{bindings.RolName1.listOfValuesModel}" required="#{bindings.RolName1.hints.mandatory}" columns="#{bindings.RolName1.hints.displayWidth}" shortDesc="#{bindings.RolName1.hints.tooltip}" launchPopupListener="#{backingBeanScope.backingBean.launchPop
