IPlanet as Oracle AS HTTP Listener?

Hello!
One of our customer wants and Oracle Application made with
Oracle Application Server, but somehow they only accept
iPlanet Web Server on the WWW side or as HTTP listener in
Oracle terminology.
Could any iPlanet WWW server be used as a HTTP front-end
on Oracle AS?
thanks
Robert

Hello,
Although this setup is not tested, I believe iPlanet Web Server(iWS)
will work with OAS. If you still think you would require more
information, I think it's best to verify with http://technet.oracle.com
and click on documentation. You must have registered with otn, which is
free, for accessing the documents.

  • Bug in oracle embedded http listener

    Hi there,
    I've discovered a bug in the Oracle embedded http listener for our Oracle on RHEL database version 11.1.0.6 where it will return HTTP-400 bad request errors if a cookie is created with a bare comma in the cookie value. To see for yourself, simply create an apex application with an open door authentication and enter a username with a comma in it - page 101 writes the username to a cookie, and then you get HTTP-400 errors.
    I'll raise this as a bug at Oracle, but in the meantime I'm frantically trying to figure out a workaround. We have a production site using a standard Apache frontend that we link to Apex applications using mod_rewrite. There are other applications on the site (invision powerboard) which create cookies with bare commas, so we have no control over the creation of these maligned cookies. My thinking is that we might be able to use mod_rewrite rules to weed out the offending cookies and encode the commas so that things continue to work.
    Can anyone assist with a workaround?
    Many thanks,
    Mike

    Hi Mike,
    perhaps you can try to modify the cookies on the client?
    http://scripts.franciscocharrua.com/javascript-cookies.php
    Or is it already too late so that you cannot even run the first procedure to inject the javascript code into the first page?
    Or, you could configure the DAD to run a stored procedure before anything else:
    PlsqlBeforeProcedure
    http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_epg.htm
    If this is already too late, your only option seems to be to use an Apache as a proxy and modify the cookie value there.

  • Oracle HTTP listener not working...

    hi
    i have configured Oracle App Svr 4.0.8 on a Windows NT machine.
    (sorry for putting this Qs in 9iAS forum, but i thought this was better than putting on forms forum).
    i am trying to deploy oracle forms on the web using OAS and forms server.
    my machine is named appsvr on the Intranet and 202.54.41.36 is its IP address on the Internet.
    i have configured http listener in the OAS at port 80.
    Using CGI method, i have a static1.html file created and this shows the form in the browser when accessed on the intranet.
    ie. http://appsvr:80/forms60/static1.html gives desired results - shows working form.
    however, when accessed from the Internet, http://202.54.41.36:80/forms60/static1.html, i get http 400 - Bad Request error. The full message text is given below.
    Pls advice where i may be going wrong...
    ==================
    The page cannot be found
    The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
    Please try the following:
    If you typed the page address in the Address bar, make sure that it is spelled correctly.
    Open the 202.54.41.36 home page, and then look for links to the information you want.
    Click the Back button to try another link.
    Click Search to look for information on the Internet.
    HTTP 400 - Bad Request
    Internet Explorer
    =========================
    thanks
    ashwin

    corrected the problem...
    it was due to settings in the Network part of the listener which did not give the IP address of the Internet...

  • Errors when trying to start HTTP Listener (Oracle Developer Suite 10g)

    Good day everyone,
    I'm trying to do development on some forms in Oracle Forms Developer 10g and I'm having issues creating a local development environment. When I try to run a form in Oracle Forms Developer 10g, I get an error message telling me that my HTTP Listener can not be found. When I try to run my HTTP Listener, I get two error messages:
    Error initializing server: IO error reading system
    Fatal error: server exiting
    Would someone help me with the configuration of my local development environment? I need the environment so I can utilize the debugging tools in Oracle Forms Developer 10g (currently I deploy the form to the Development environment and trouble shoot any issues I have).

    Take a look at Forms: How to Configure Forms Builder to run forms locally. After you have configured your system, then you will need to start the OC4J instance before you can run your form.

  • HTTP Listener Problem

    i write this post also Apex forum but i couldnt get any answer for weeks. I guess this is a hard question.
    Re: i can't reach the remote host
    as i posted above url, i cannot reach the remote host via typing host address in browser. I can connect in sqlplus, plsql, there is no browser. But i cannot reach that remote host from browser.
    I did:
    installed the apex 3.1.1 successfully and i validate it.
    i also run the apex_epg_config file.
    set the http port with dbms_xdb.sethttpport functionso, browser said to me "cannot find server". I am posting result of "lsnrctl status", so it might guide you.

    i think that a line that includes http listening is missing. Because i have another machine, i can connect it from sqlplus,plsql,browser. And i typed "lsnrctl status" in its terminal the http listener line is seeming as this :
    (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=XXXHOST.tcelldomain)(PORT=8082))(Presentation=HTTP)(Session=RAW))
    As i said, above line is not seeming first machine.
    What do you think about it?
    thanks for responses.

    In general, APEX can be accessed either by using the Listener/DBMS_XDB or the Apache HTTP server access.
    It appears that you want to use the Listener/DBMS_XDB access. In which case, the theory is:
    User requests connection to host:port
    Listener on 'host' listens on port, as directed by DBMS_XDB
    Listener passes request to DBMS_XDB (using shared server technique) which passes it to DBMS_EPGTo get listener to monitor the port, you need to use DBMS_XDB to register the http (or ftp) port to the listener. That is done using the dbms_xdb.gethttpport and verified using dbms_xed.gethttpport
    Refer to the DBMS_XDB docs for details. http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_xdb.htm#sthref8053

  • HTTP Listener connection problem

    Hi
    I am using Oracle 9i, and I'm trying to run a form using the Forms Builder application in the developer suite. I start the OC4J Instance before I start the Forms Builder application but when I try to run a form I get an error message displaying the following message:
    FRM-10142: The HTTP Listener is not running on [computer name] at port 8888. Please start your listener or check your runtime preferences.
    I have checked my runtime preferences thru the Edit> Preferences menu and I don't have anything entered on the "Runtime" tab in the Preferences dialog box, should I? If I should what should I have entered for this preference?
    I have administrator rights for my account. I am running Windows XP Pro with SP2.
    I would appreciate any help with this problem. Thank you in advance.
    Jo

    From Metalink:
    Note:234537.1
    Subject: Getting FRM-10142 Running a Form in Forms 9i Builder
    fact: Oracle Forms Developer 9.0.2
    fact: Oracle Forms 9i Builder
    symptom: Running forms fails
    symptom: FRM-10142: The HTTP Listener is not running on <host> at
    port 8888
    symptom: Please start the listener or check your runtime preferences
    cause: Unlike Forms 6i, Forms 9i does not support client-server. A fmb run
    from the Forms Builder is a 'web deployed form.'
    To do this Forms 9i Builder needs to integrate with some form of HTTP Listener.
    This is provided by another component of the Oracle 9iDS Rel 2 install - the
    OC4J (Oracle Container For J2EE). If there is no HTTP Listener started FRM-
    10142 occurs
    Once an OC4J instance has been started it acts as lightweight HTTP Listener
    enabling the developer to test the forms / reports application modules in a
    true web (even if only intranet) architecture.
    fix:
    1. Start the OC4J instance:
    -> In the Start menu click,
    Start\Programs\Oracle 9i Developer Suite\Reports Developer\Start OC4J Instance.
    OR
    -> Find and run the startinst.bat file in your Dev 9i home.
    It is usually in
    Dev9i home\j2ee\Oracle9iDS\
    On MS Windows an MS DOS dialogue should appear indicating that an OC4J instance
    has been started, simply minimize this DOS window to the taskbar
    2. Then try running the form again from Forms Builder
    3. Having finished with Forms Builder, to stop the OC4J instance:
    - use the Stop OC4J Instance shortcut, located in same place as the Start
    shortcut
    or shut the DOS window)

  • Http listener to port 8087, can't edit Database_homepage.url to fix link

    Installing Oracle XE on windows, I've used the instructions in the User Guide at "Changing the Listener Port Number for HTTP Connection Requests" to have the http listener run on port 8087. The last and optional step is to edit the file Database_homepage.url so that it knows about 8087. I'm not able to edit that file, I guess .url extension is a shortcut, and no text editor I have will open it. There must be a workaround, does anyone know what it is?

    I have no idea how I could not have figured that out...probably a good thing that I took most of the day off today. Thanks.

  • HTTP Listener problems

    Good day all,
    I have some problems regarding HTTP Listener:
    1. I cannot startup my www listener on port
    80, only Node Manager listener can be
    started. It gives out the errors:
    OWS-08811 & OWS-08851.
    2. I even cannot either view or edit the
    configuration for my HTTP listener.
    When I clicked on the properties such
    as Network, Server, etc, it just doesn't
    show up the configuration that I needed
    to see.
    I have already checked the environment variable: WV_GATEWAY_CFG, and it is in the right path. What could possibly went wrong?
    This is the specification of my installed products:
    Platform: Windows 2000
    DB: Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition 8.1.7.0.0
    Oracle 9ias 4.0.8.2.1a
    Any ideas? Thanks.
    - Alfian
    null

    As far as I know, there is no utilities to view the configuration as you have mentioned. All configurations are in configure files,
    they are
    httpd.conf
    jserv.conf
    jserv.properties
    zone.properties
    If someone does know such a utility, please tell me. :-)

  • Custom PL/SQL servlet for HTTP Listener like HTMLDB

    We would like to migrate our applications from apache that use a custom perl application server to the xdb http listener and would need to be able to write a custom pl/sql servlet for the listener
    eg
    <servlet xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/xdb/xdbconfig.xsd">
    <servlet-name>Custom</servlet-name>
    <servlet-language>PL/SQL</servlet-language>
    Can this be done? (Well obviously, HTMLDB did it.)
    Is information available to do this?
    Information on the request (url/headers/content) and response (headers/content) objects
    of the http listener would be needed.
    Our pl/sql applications look like
    create package my_app as
    procedure my_job (request xmltype);
    end;
    This is why we need to do the servlet ourselves and why dbms_epg is not suitable.

    Currently
    we don't plan to allow large input to be passed as a
    CLOB parameter to the procedure. Is there a use-case
    for this?YES ;). I have seen this coming up quite a few times in this forum.
    1) we cannot edit sql scripts in Apex directly (>32KB), this is quite inconvenient to download, edit and upload again. If we are talking about sql scripts, they are often larger than 32KB.
    2) building an application where the user can directly edit or copy/paste spreadsheet data or xml data. It is quite a restriction to only have 32KB at your hand.
    3) the common workaround would be to split the data in 32KB chunks and then reassemble them in the backend. Quite tedious.
    4) editing larger HTML texts for a portal application for example.
    5) editing larger HTML texts for a forum application for example.
    ... the list goes on ...
    Another argument is that all other major technologies like servlets, jsps, perl, php, python they are all capable of handling this kind of data. I often feel it is too much of a restriction.
    What do others in the forum think? Feedback is welcome!!!
    Thanks,
    ~Dietmar.

  • The http listener is not running in domain-name on port 8889

    hi
    I have installed oracle database 10g and developer suite 10g on my Windows OS

    but when running the form an error getted that said:-
    frm 10142
    The http listener is not running in domain-name on port 8889 . please start the listener or check your runtime preferences.
    please help.
    thanks in advance

    Normally it should show as 8889, y is it showing 12320???
    Did you restart your OC4J and rerun your Forms?
    Also follow this link.
    This might help you.

  • Urgent! http listener not started with services

    Hi,
    I installed oracle 9i on my win2k, and it runs fine when I started manually with the ${ORA_HOME}\j2ee\Oracle9iDS\startinst.bat.
    I then try to registrate it as services with this command: rwserver -install rep_mypcname autostart=yes
    It registrated successfully and I save it is started automatically, I also saw an icon (smart agent) on my right hand bottom taskbar.
    But when I tested it via http://localhost:8888/reports/
    It can't find the server, and obviously no http listener is up.
    All my config are default, here is my rwservlet.properties:
    SERVER_IN_PROCESS=YES
    Also there is no log files generated in ${ORA_HOME}\j2ee\Oracle9iDS\log\ when it is started as service, but if it is started from command line by using "startinst.bat", some log files are generated.
    Am I missing some steps?
    Thanks.
    David

    David,
    Script startinst.bat starts the OC4J instance, not the Reports Server. When you send request to http://<server>:<port>/reports/rwservlet, it will startup an in-process Reports Server if it has not been started.
    The command you run:
    rwserver -install rep_mypcname autostart=yes
    only install Reports Server as a service. It has nothing to do with OC4J instance, which you will still need to startup yourself. That's why http server is not up.
    The difference is that if the Reports Server is up, after you start up OC4J, the in-process server will no longer need to be started.

  • Manually starting Intelligent Agent Configuration Assistant and HTTP Listener

    I have installed Oracle 9i on Solaris 8 and it stopped with an "Out of Memory" error during the Starter Database creation. I have fixed the memory problem and have now manually started the Database Configuration Assistant manually and managed to install a new database. Now I am trying to start the Intelligent Agent Configuration Assistant and the Apache HTTP Listener, but I cannot find out how to do this so that I can continue on with and complete the installation process from where I left off.
    Do anyone know how to do this? I would appreciate any help that anyone can give.

    Lets start with what product you are installing and why. An Oracle database installation, in and of itself, does not install an HTTP server.
    Of course one might also wonder why you are, just now, installing software so old it is in desupport.
