java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError: org.omg.CORBA.INITIALIZE: can't instantiate default ORB implementation com.inprise.vbroker.orb.ORB minor code: 0

Technote (FAQ)
Problem
If you install VisiBroker for Java (part of the JBuilder installation) after
installing WebSphere, the installation program opens the
$WAS_HOME\jdk\jre\lib\orb.properties files, and adds change to make it load the
VisiBroker Orb :

# Make VisiBroker for Java the default ORB
orb.omg.CORBA.ORBClass=com.inprise.vbroker.orb.ORB
orb.omg.CORBA.ORBSingletonClass=com.inprise.vbroker.orb.ORB
#orb.omg.CORBA.ORBClass=com.ibm.rmi.iiop.ORB
#orb.omg.CORBA.ORBSingletonClass=com.ibm.rmi.corba.ORBSingleton

If you try to start the adminServer you receive the following error in the
adminserver_stderr.log :

java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError: org.omg.CORBA.INITIALIZE: can't
instantiate default ORB implementation com.inprise.vbroker.orb.ORB minor code:
0 completed: No

The customer is probably not licensed to use multiple ORBs with WebSphere.
Solution
Comment out the lines pointing to the VisiBroker ORB and uncomment the two lines pointing to IBM's ORB class.
