I have this if in a bash script:

if [ $ACTION = deploy ]; then
 $JAVA_HOME/bin/java $JVM_ARGS weblogic.WLST << EOJ
 connect('XXX','XXX','t3://XXX:8001')
 jndi();
 ls();
 disconnect();
 exit ();
 EOJ
else
 echo "XXX"
fi

I think the error is in the EOJ.

EOJ needs to be fully left-justified, ie. no leading white-space, and no trailing space either. Also, you could/should (depending on your needs) write the first one as <<'EOJ' .. the quotes disable some shell expansion which can otherwise occur.

From info bash

Here Documents
This type of redirection instructs the shell to read input from the
current source until a line containing only delimiter (with no trailing
blanks) is seen. All of the lines read up to that point are then used
as the standard input for a command.

 The format of here-documents is:

 <<[-]word
 here-document
 delimiter

 No parameter expansion, command substitution, arithmetic expansion, or
 pathname expansion is performed on word. If any characters in word are
 quoted, the delimiter is the result of quote removal on word, and the
 lines in the here-document are not expanded. If word is unquoted, all
 lines of the here-document are subjected to parameter expansion, com‐
 mand substitution, and arithmetic expansion. In the latter case, the
 character sequence <newline> is ignored, and must be used to quote
 the characters , $, and `.

 If the redirection operator is <<-, then all leading tab characters are
 stripped from input lines and the line containing delimiter. This
 allows here-documents within shell scripts to be indented in a natural
 fashion.
