Problem(Abstract)
When using Obscuring Passwords feature in WebSphere Application Server Community Edition by adding the gbean named ConfiguredEncryption into the module named org.apache.geronimo.framework/rmi-naming/3.0-w20120503/car in the var\config\config.xml, you will meet an exception at server start time.
Symptom
Add the following gbean in your server's config.xml.
<gbean gbeanInfo="org.apache.geronimo.system.util.ConfiguredEncryption" name="org.apache.geronimo.framework/rmi-naming/3.0-w20120503/car?j2eeType=GBean,name=ConfiguredEncryption">
<attribute name="path">var/security/ConfiguredSecretKey.ser</attribute>
<reference name="ServerInfo">
<pattern>
<name>ServerInfo</name>
</pattern>
</reference>
</gbean>q
You will meet the following exception at server start time.

Resolving the problem
To fix the issue, please refer the instruction below:
1. Download the patch file：wasce-server-3.0.0.2.zip
2. Unzip the attached file into the WebSphere Application Server Community Edition installation directory, and ensure the files listed in the zip file to replace the ones in the server installation.
3. Start the server with the cache cleaned, for example,
<WAS_CE_HOME>\bin\startup -c
<WAS_CE_HOME>/bin/startup.sh -c
