ApplicationModule get configuration used bc4j.xcfg

Is there a way to find the bc4j.xcfg file (or its content) used from an applicationModule instance ?
In bc4j.xcfg file, I put some additionnal attributes values used as application parameters that I use during runtime, but I have to load them !
Today, I have add in the constructor of the AM the class path to find the bc4j.xcfg file, but I think there is a better way... I hope !
Thanks
Rafael.

John,
In the DataBindings.cpx i can't find any reference to a datacontrol...
This is my bindings:

JBO 33001 - Configuration file bc4j.xcfg not found

I am facing the below issue in a standalone deployment while trying to open a particular UI:
"JBO-33001: Configuration file
/oracle/apps/scm/receiptAccounting/accrualClearing/adjustAccruals/uiModel/applicationModule/common/bc4j.xcfg is not found in the classpath."
Local deployment through integrated WLS works fine.
Above file bc4j.xcfg is present at the correct location(as mentioned in the error) in classes folder. Also, below conditions are satisfied which could have been the possible causes:
1.) BC4J data control entry in DataBindings.cpx is correct.
2.) Dependencies from UI to Model project are proper.
The issue could be because the libraries present on the server are not in sync with the jdev version and could have been there due to jdev version migration.
Any pointers on how to resolve the above problem will be greatly helpful.

The issue could be because the libraries present on the server are not in sync with the jdev version and could have been there due to jdev version migration. Have you checked this?
Does your wls use the right adf runtime for hte jdev version you used to build the application?

JUNIT test failure-Configuration file bc4j.xcfg not found in the classpath

Hi All,
As part of an ESS project,Im having a model project containing a VO(parameters VO).This VO is configured to have Read-only access through SQL query and have only one transient attribute each.For the model projects containing the VO for pre merge checker compliance I had to create JUNIT Test projects containing new AMs for testing the parametersVO. While running the JUNIT tests I got an exception like
“oracle.jbo.JboException: JBO-29000: Unexpected exception caught: oracle.jbo.ConfigException, msg=JBO-33001: Configuration file /oracle/apps/hcm/goals/core/dataMigration/publicEssModel/test/applicationModule/common/bc4j.xcfg is not found in the classpath.”.—even though this file is contained in both the src/classes folder of the project.
When i try to run the TestAM I'm getting an exception like 'configuration tester.xcfg not found in the calsspath.
While debugging this error, we found that we are able to successfully run the JUNIT tests if we make some changes in the adf-config.xml file of the Application. The change required is to comment out the mdsC:adf-mds-config tag in the xml file.
After doing this change Im also able to run my AM without any exception.
Is this a known issue?.
Since modifying the adf-config.xml is not a recommended practice is there any workaround that we can get rid of this exception.
Regards,
Ajin.

Just checked but could only find this thread Unable to run ADFBC JUNIT Test Classes with JDEV11G 11.1.1.6
As it's also dealing with junit and 11.1.1.6.0 you might want to read it.

Configuration file bc4j.xcfg not found in the classpath.

When i try to run an application that uses ADF BC i get an error telling me the bc4j.xcfg was not found.
When i open my AppModule and click the bc4j.xcfg link it opens. When i look at the path it stored in, it is different from the path the error says.
It's something like this:
Configuration file /be/something/model/common/bc4j.xcfg is not found in the classpath
but my appModule opens the bc4j.xcfg in a different folder:
/be/something/utility/common/bc4j.xcfg
It's a fact i modified the project and managed the packages a bit but i always used the refactor menu of jdeveloper in order to move or rename files.
It appears that something has failed while moving/changing name.
I looked inside my project to look for references for bc4j.xcfg but i can't find any so i can't see were to change the directory he needs to look for the bc4j file.
How do i fix my project?

Jdev 10.1.2 JBO-33001: Cannot find the configuration file bc4j.xcfg in cla

Hi all,
i have a ear application containing a web app and a bc4j module deployed on the embedded oc4j instance inside JDeveloper 10.1.2 (build 1929). Inside the model i have a topic durable subscriber that, when a message is sent, invoke, by reflection, a java class to perform the job. Inside the java class i need an Application Module so i write
ApplicationModule am = Configuration.createRootApplicationModule(fullClassName, configuration);
but i get the error in the subject.
Here is a piece of the stack trace

Please help us. Thanks
Any ideas?
Suggestion?

This program is an example of basically what ADFBC will be trying to do to open/parse the bc4j.xcfg file. Can you incorporate the same lines into your test program to see if it also behaves the same in your JMS-initiated Java class ?
Of course, you'll need to substitute "sample/common/bc4j.xcfg" with your relevant path name.
package sample;
import java.io.IOException;
import oracle.xml.parser.v2.DOMParser;
import oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLDocument;
import oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException;
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;
public class Class1 {
public static void main(String[] args) throws XMLParseException,
                                                  SAXException, IOException {
    DOMParser d = new DOMParser();
   d.parse(Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource("sample/common/bc4j.xcfg"));
    XMLDocument doc = d.getDocument();
    doc.print(System.out);
}

Configuration file bc4j.xcfg not found. Old pages work, new ones don't.

, I've spent way to much time already trying to troubleshoot this problem.
Simply put, everything works fine on JDeveloper 9.0.3. The same application can Not view anything on JDeveloper 9.0.2
I'm deploying the application to Oracle9ias 9.0.3 and I come up with the following error:
Error Message: JBO-29000: Unexpected exception caught: oracle.jbo.JboException, msg=JBO-33001: Cannot find the configuration file **/common/bc4j.xcfg in the classpath
This error only occurs when I deploy the application through Enterprise Manager. Yet when directly deploying the files all application pages that were unchanged have no difficulty working, but the application pages that have changes (database tables changed as well) don't work properly. In fact, they attempt to make View Object select statements that are not contained in the new version of the application (PK name has changed).
How can I get the pages pointed to the new bc4j.xcfg? Is there something wrong with the configuration on the server? (I've already attempted: including the bc4j.xcfg in the additional path, sychronizing, deploying the business components, and even recompiling in 9.0.2)

We had the same error message here. We resolved it by changing the format of the password in the bc4j.xcfg file. To do this, find the bc4j.xcfg file in your project directory. Using notepad or another external editor, edit the one under the "src" directory. Find the password tag under your connection in the file.
Edit it so that it reads like this:
<password value="<yourpassword>" />
Let me know if it worked..
BTW, I have also heard that upgrading your Java instalation on your server will also fix the problem, but we have not tried that.

Error Configuration File bc4j.xcfg is not found in the classpath

I am new to JDeveloper and ADF, and am suffering through the steep learning curve. This story may prove useful to someone, someday.
I just finished resolving a “bc4j.xcfg is not found in the classpath” error and it added another level of understanding to how things are glued together.
There is a back story. I had made a first pass at creating a test application. When I was done I started “enhancing” the application. One of the changes was to add a column to a view in the database. Try as I might I could not get that change propagated to the business component. This is still on my to-figure-out list. In frustration I dropped the model and recreated it from the database tables and views. Testing it with the “AppModule” in the model project I could see the view with the new column. However, when I went to run one of my old jspx pages, I now got the dreaded “bc4j.xcfg is not found in the classpath” – and this was for a page that was not using my updated view. As the military expression goes, “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot”.
It is now working again, and here is what I found.
I noticed in the error message that it could not find “/cloudapp1/common/bc4j.xcfg”. When I searched for the file I found it in /cloudapp1/model/common/bc4j.xcfg. I went to the project properties for the model project and on the “Project Source Paths” node I saw at the bottom of the page Default Package: cloudapp1.model. Ah Ha! That is where the /cloudapp1/model structure came from. Then I remembered that the first time through I had changed the default package to just cloudapp1. Part of my experimenting with the product. When I quickly rebuilt the model project I did not do that.
Next I found the DataBindings.cpx that one note alluded to. It is in the ViewController project. There I found an “OC4JDataControl” section. In there was and entry Package=”cloudapp1”. This was the original package name. When I rebuilt the model, this was not updated. Anyway, I changed it to Package=”cloudapp1.model”. [ Insight: When you first build an app it can make some good guesses about what is needed, but when you start adding and dropping projects it is much harder to guess how they are glued together.]
Raising a cup of coffee in triumph I re-ran the test page.
Dang! Still a bc4j.xcfg not found in the classpath – but this time the path mentioned matched the path where I knew the file to be.
I am nothing if not stubborn. I knew the problem just had to be in the ViewController project, because the AppModule in the model project worked. So, I started going through all of the project properties. I finally came across something called “Dependencies” that had big ugly red circles with an x in them. Ah ha. This is what tells the ViewController what other projects (like the business model project) this ViewController is dependent on. Although the editing process it not obvious I eventually pointed it to the new model project. [Deepening insight.]
When I re-ran the test page it worked! Coffee finished. Story with a happy ending.
Summary:
1. Make sure the package name in the ViewController DataBindings.cpx matches the one in your model project.
2. Make sure the ViewController Dependencies entry points to the model project.

Thought I'd add a little bit more to this post I found helpful.
I'm creating an application which uses other application ViewController projects deployed as library .jar files. If your .jar ViewController project deployment profiles don't have your Model project as a dependency, you will get the .bc4j error as well.
This can be confusing when the ViewController pages function correctly when run within their own application context, but somehow lose their bc4j when deployed as a .jar.
Hope that helps someone down the road.

JBO-33001: Cannot find the configuration file bc4j.xcfg in the classpath

We have an application created using Oracle JDeveloper 9i connected to Oracle 10g DB hosted on:
windows 2000 server with Oracle Application Server 9i (9.0.3.0)
It was working fine until we transfer our Data center to another location and new netwrok design was implemented including changing IP addresses
So we deinstalled AS and install again and deployed the war file...
then , I tried to change this file : bc4j.xcfg (where connection string was stored in) to update the new DB Server IP address
I got this error :
JBO-33001: Cannot find the configuration file EumrDB\common\bc4j.xcfg in the classpath
I tried everything including restarting the server , deploying different version of war files ... Your help is appreciated...

Hi,
Did you change the bc4j.xcfg file manually by extracting from the war file and then adding back to war file? Have you tried opening the application in JDeveloper, change the connection, re-deploy to war file and deploy to application server?

Cannot find the configuration file bc4j.xcfg

I have compiled my Business Components Project in JDeveloper and all Projects that reference that BC Project are pointing to the correct classes directory, but I am still getting the following error:
JBO-33001: Cannot find the configuration file /com/arca/personalinfo/bc/common/bc4j.xcfg in the classpath
I have re-compiled all my projects in JDev 9.0.3 and have double-checked that the bc4j.xcfg file is in the classes directory.
Ideas?
Thanks!
-Teri Kemple

This usually is a class path omittion.
Your Jdev jpr config [double click your jpr]
- Configurations - Development - Paths
output path is set to some place
- Libraries
- The libraries that are created for you need to have
the classpath box have your output path set.
Check your output path, then check all the library definitions
for your project. There always seems to be more than one
created for you.
Good luck curt

BUG: JBO-33001: Cannot find the configuration file bc4j.xcfg

Hi,
I get the exception JBO-33001: Cannot find the configuration file com\trivadis\adf\demos\login\model\common\bc4j.xcfg in the classpath
after I have edited the file outside of JDev9052. Why? Because I followed the instructions of the help document "Modifying the JClient Login Dialog for JDBC". To get the JCLoginDialog you have to remove some lines in the bc4j.xcfg file.
I have deleted the classes directory, rebuild the complete workspace, but I still get the exception.
Any comments?
Thanks,
Markus

Who can help? BC4J: Cannot find the configuration file bc4j.xcfg

Wie kan mij helpen?
Bij het runnen van een BC4J applicatie treedt de volgende fout op, wanneer gedraaid wordt op de 9ias applicatieserver vanuit de gedeployde ear-file, (draai ik de zaak op mijn lokale OC4J dan gaat de zaak wel goed):
Er is een fout opgetreden JBO-29000: Unexpected exception caught: oracle.jbo.JboException, msg=JBO-33001: Cannot find the configuration file pilot\common\bc4j.xcfg in the classpath "
Kijk ik echter in de WEB_INF\classes directory dan bestaat er wel degelijk een pilot\common\bc4j.xcfg file in die directory.
Het gebeurt bij instantieren van de applicatie-module van BC4J in het volgende code-snippet
String applicationModule = "pilot.PilotModule"; // Full name of application module
String configuration = "PilotModuleLocal"; // Name of configuration
PilotModuleImpl am = (PilotModuleImpl)
Configuration.createRootApplicationModule(applicationModule,configuration);
Ik heb Business-components gedecompileerd om te kijken waar de fout optreedt:
en dit gebeurt in de method loadFromClassPath(String s) in de configuration class
nadat hij buildConfigurationFileNameFromClassPath de string " pilot\common\bc4j.xcfg "
heeft opgebouwd. Hij kan de stream dus niet inlezen.
public void loadFromClassPath(String s)
throws JboException
String s1 = "/" + s;
s1 = s1.replace(File.separatorChar, '/');
InputStream inputstream = JBOClass.getResourceAsStream(s1);

I'm having this same problem when I try to run my BC4J project. This has happened to me before but I forgot how it was resolved. Any ideas?

How to configure bc4j.xcfg ConnectionDefinition to JBoss 3.2.3?

Hi,
we have the following scenario here: a JClient for BC4J goes via Web Start
and tries to communicate back to the AppModule deployed in JBoss 3.2.3 as
Session Bean (BMT).
We are using JDev 9.0.4.
How can we configure the element <ConnectionDefinition> in common\bc4j.xcfg
file in order to lookup the AppModule at JBoss?
We were able to set up this scenario working in OC4J, but we are in trouble
with JBoss.
How can we change the following connection so it points to a JBoss app server?
<ConnectionDefinition name="MyConnection">
<ENTRY name="URL" value="ormi://myserver/"/>
<ENTRY name="ConnectionName" value="MyConnection"/>
<ENTRY name="user" value="admin"/>
<ENTRY name="ConnectionType" value="OC4J"/>
<ENTRY name="password">
<![CDATA[{904}05E438994FF93]]>
</ENTRY>
<ENTRY name="JNDI_INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY" value="com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory"/>
<ENTRY name="DeployPassword" value="true"/>
<ENTRY name="TARGET_NODE" value="http-web-site"/>
<ENTRY name="DeployPassword" value="true"/>
</ConnectionDefinition>
Maybe it should look like this?
<ConnectionDefinition name="MyConnection">
<ENTRY name="URL" value="jnp://myserver:1099"/>
<ENTRY name="ConnectionName" value="MyConnection"/>
<ENTRY name="ConnectionType" value="JBoss"/>
<ENTRY name="JNDI_INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY" value="org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory"/>
<ENTRY name="JNDI_URL_PKG_PREFIXES" value="org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces"/>
</ConnectionDefinition>
Hope somebody can help us.
Eduardo.

Frank,
the reason we didn't deployed BC4J as a Web application is we weren't given options. Our contractor wanted a 3-tier application with rich client (JClient/Swing), an load-balanced application server and a legacy database at back end.
The problem with the article "How Do I Deploy BC4J Applications to JBoss?" is that it doesn't mention how to configure common\bc4j.xcfg in order to connect with JBoss app server.
The connection with the data source is ok.
But how come the client would be able to lookup Remote Home interfaces through JNDI without knowing the protocol, host, port number and initial context properties specific to JBoss?
Thanks,
Eduardo.

Using BC4J Session Bean in OC4J 10.1.3 with dynamic ports

Hi Folks!
I've benn having trouble connecting my BC4J Session Bean to an Oracle 10gAS R3 server instance tha uses dynamic ports.
After migrating a BC4J/Struts/JSP application from 9iAS to 10gAS R3, I'm trying to connect from a client application to my instace in the server. The problem is that the instance uses dynamic ports, and whenever I deploy my application to the server, I've got to update the port number in the bc4j.xcfg file in the client application, wich has became impossible to maintain.
When I connect to an EJB in the same server, I use the instance name instead of the port number. However, when I do the same with BC4J, I get the following exception:
javax.naming.NamingException [Root exception is java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "OC4J_dvt20"]

My question is: is there a way to configure my bc4j.xcfg, or another way to connect, in order to skip the use of the port number? Or a way to get the port number from the server before I connect?
Thanks in advance!!!

I've just found the solution from Steve Muench weblog, always useful by the way!
You can find the solution at this link http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/stories/2004/05/07/handcodingDynamicDiscoveryOfEjbdeployedAppmodule.html
In summary, we need to use the class com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory, which supports dynamic lookup, and implement the lookup ourselves.
The code I've written to lookup the service is listed below:
public static ApplicationModule getAppModuleManutencao() {
try {
Context ctx = getContext();
ManutencaoFacadeHome home = (ManutencaoFacadeHome) ctx.lookup(EJB_MANUTENCAO_BEAN_NAME);
ApplicationModule am = ApplicationModuleProxy.create(home, null);
return am;
} catch (NamingException nex) {
nex.printStackTrace();
return null;
private static InitialContext getContext() {
try {
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "admin");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "welcome");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "opmn:ormi://dsv008:OC4J_dvt20/mct");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, "simple");
return new InitialContext(env);
}catch (NamingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
I hope this helps someone!!!
Cheers!

ADF BC : Ant and XSLT to modify bc4j.xcfg and DataBindings.cpx

hi
Before I deploy my ADF BC / ADF Swing application I would like to use Ant to make some changes to bc4j.xcfg and DataBindings.cpx
(see also "Defining ADF Business Components Runtime Properties for ADF Swing Applications" in the JDeveloper documentation)
I would like DataBindings.cpx to point to the correct configuration and bc4j.xcfg to only contain the configuration information that is required.
I created some XSLT transformation stylesheets to help me with that, see this example application:
http://verveja.footsteps.be/~verveja/files/oracle/AntXsltConnectionSwitchStuff-v0.02.zip
question
Does JDeveloper itself provide any features to automatically make changes to DataBindings.cpx (and bc4j.xcfg) before deployment?
many thanks
Jan Vervecken

repost

ApplicationModule get configuration used bc4j.xcfg
