Tom Erbe found a workaround, and describes it as follows:

> 2 - Remove all of the OMS Preferences and any Autosetups in the OMS

>
> 3 - Reinstall the latest OMS (2.3.8)
>
> 4 - Restart
>
> 5 - Run OMS Setup

> 6 - Recompile your Java application

Hope this helps, if you're experiencing the same problem.
