J2EE/OC4J/JSP/JAZN authentication error in UltraSearch 10g (formatted)

(Let's try this again with formatting)
Hey all,

I've got Oracle Ultra Search manually installed and running on a 10.1.0.3 DB on Solaris 9. My plan was to make a few cosmetic changes to the "usearch.jsp" example and it's corresponding help files and let 'er fly. The crawling was simple enough and it's been chugging along now for weeks without fail. However, not being a OC4J/J2EE guy, I didn't realize what exactly modifying the JSP code would entail.

With a little help from a consultant co-worker, I figured out that I needed to unjar the "ultrasearch_query.ear" file, and then the "query.war" file that was just exploded. So I wrote a little script to copy the ear file from production and fully unjar it, as well as another to jar it all back up and copy the ear file back to production. This seems to work OK for changes within an existing JSP.

My problem is that whenever any files change names, or I remove files -- even "standalone" HTML files -- I get this nasty error when I copy the ear file back and bounce the server (using "searchctl" -- I know that the server reloads the app, but I get a different error if the server isn't bounced):

oracle.ultrasearch.query.SearchException: WKG17005: connection failure: User credentials doesn't match the existing ones

"r2search.jsp" is my modified copy of "usearch.jsp". What I've done in the past is to wipe out the persistence cache and bounce the server, but even that doesn't work any more. MetaLink has nothing on this particular WKG17005 error, and the four links from Google appear to be mostly the error message listed in the Java class. I think it has something to do with JAZN, but I'm having a very difficult time deciphering this stuff.

1. How can I fix this error?
2. Should I be using something other than a standard text editor to modify this stuff? If so, what?
3. Any O'Reilly books dealing with this? (Safari rocks!)

Thanks from a painfully neophyte OC4Jer, Rich
