Clobbered Web Server in Standalone OC4J

Hi,
I've been mucking around in the j2ee\home\config directory to deploy my applications and after a few days of success, I began to notice error messages from the web service on startup and then it stopped starting at all. I noticed the applications are missing from the html-web-site.xml, but shouldn't the default web site start regardless? Netstat -ano shows that the default ports are not allocated, so it's clearly not running. I tried to just -install again the OC4J.JAR, but it didn't overwrite anything that I can tell. My next step is just to download the entire thing again from OTN.
Thanks,
Tim

Sorry Gu,
I may have misled you in my previous reply. OC4J modifies the "server.xml" file, which is in the "j2ee\home\config" subdirectory. It also creates files in other subdirectories of "j2ee\home" and creates subdirectories (for deployed applications). You need to check permissions for those files and directories as well.
Although I'm not very familiar with Windows, I think the "Task Manager" can show you which user 'owns' the OC4J process.
Good Luck,
Avi.

Oracle 10g - Creating a new Application Server using standalone OC4J 10g

I have some issues in creating a new app. server using standalone oc4j 10g 10.1.3 instance. After I created the app. server instance, I tested the connection and it says connection refused. I used the userid as oc4jadmin and the password as welcome. I am getting a message connection refused. For connection, I used the default hostname "localhost" and I didn't mention anything in the URL path.

Thanks Steve..
Here is what I am trying to do.. I want to create a new app server instance (i.e.) stand alone oc4j server, where I can deploy my web service and run a test.
Oracle JDeveloper 10g:
Under Connection Navigator, Application Server --
1) Right click to 'Create New Application Server Connection'
2) Connection type as 'Standalone OC4J 10 g 10.1.3',
3) Username ==> oc4jadmin, Password ==>welcome, checked the Deploy password.
4) Hostname: localhost RMI Port: 23791
URL path: <<blank>>
5) Test Connection ==> getting a error message...
Error while getting remote MBeanServer for url: ormi://localhost:23791/default:

Any input you can provide would be of great help.

What web server IFS and OC4J use?

I am trying to install ARCIMS 4.0.1 in win2000.
In the machine there is oracle 9.0.1, IFS 9.0.1 , OC4j installed and running.
Installing ArcIMS requires a web server, the can be Apache, ibm http, IIS, Oracle Aplication Server
I am not sure what web server do I need to specify:
Apache or Oracle Aplication server? Or none of them?
Thanks for your help,

hi, thomasfly
Thank you for your message. The problem I use J2EE "deploytool" is if I want to test servlet code, I need to go through deploy steps. If I use tomcat, just make sure all class files are in place. And I use JBuilder6, I found tomcat is build-in already. And another problem is if I put all static html files in J2EE, I guess they are not efficient to be loaded.
Now my problem I can test servlet using like http://localhost:8080/example/servlet/HelloWordServlet, but I can not call it using http://www.MYDOMAIN.com/example/servlet/HelloWorldServlet, where MYDOMAIN is my registed domian name. My friend told me I should configue apache to point to tomcat, as well as tomcat too. I have problem to figue it out. Do you have any experience. Thank you.

Please could somebody help me out with this? Basically I am not able to understand how to deploy the EAR file created under the MyWork folder under jdeveloper\jdev to the applications folder of j2ee\home. I am new to both EAR deployment as well as web services and would like to get a good understanding of the working of a web service which includes SOAP components and the like.
Any help with regards to building and deploying a web service on standalone OC4J would be appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Initially I followed the following steps to start up OC4J:-
Settings :-
1) Jdeveloper is setup under C:\Lester\Testing as Jdev10.1.3 folder
2) I downloaded the extended oc4j zip folder and unzipped it under a new folder oc4j at the location C:\Lester\Testing\Jdev10.1.3
Steps followed to run oc4j and deploy application
1) Setup a standalone oc4j from the jdeveloper ide giving C:\Lester\Testing\Jdev10.1.3\oc4j as the root folder for oc4j.
2) While doing step 1 added password and deployed it. Changed server.xml under C:\Lester/Testing/JDev10.1.3/oc4j/j2ee/home/config
to include the following:-
<shared-library name="global.libraries" version="1.0" library-compatible="true">
<code-source path="C:\Lester/Testing/JDev10.1.3/oc4j/j2ee/home/applib"/>
</shared-library>
AND
<java-compiler name="javac" in-process="false" options="-J-Xmx1024m -encoding UTF8" bindir="C:\Jdeveloper\jdk" extdirs="C:\Jdeveloper/jdk" />
3) Opened a command prompt and went to the location C:\Lester\Testing\JDev10.1.3\oc4j\j2ee\home and ran the following command:-
--> java -jar oc4j.jar
4) Deployment: Then I deployed my primewebservice application from command prompt at C:\Lester\Smart Cylinder\Example code\prime\PrimeNumberService>
using:-
--> java -jar C:\Lester/Testing/JDev10.1.3/oc4j/j2ee/home/admin.jar ormi://172.20.13.164:8888 oc4jadmin welcome -deploy -file PrimeNumberService.ear -deploymentName DocStyleWebService
5) Web Binding: Then I bound my primewebservice application from command prompt at C:\Lester\Smart Cylinder\Example code\prime\PrimeNumberService>
using:-
--> java -jar C:\Lester/Testing/JDev10.1.3/oc4j/j2ee/home/admin.jar ormi://172.20.13.164:8888 oc4jadmin welcome -bindWebApp DocStyleWebService PrimeNumberService_web http-web-site /docws
6) Steps 4 and 5 went through without error.
7) However when trying to access the web service using the following link I get the standard HTTP 404 (Page not found) error:-
http://localhost:8888/docws/prime
This was before I tried deploying the web service through jdeveloper IDE.
I had tried the document web service given at the following link:-
http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/java/codesnippet/webservices/docservice/index.html
from the web services how to links
http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/java/codesnippet/webservices/index.html
Please could somebody help me out? Also periodically I recieve the ojc.exe not found error when trying to deploy an application using jdeveloper ide. There are two conflicting jdeveloper versions one comes with this exe and one without.

JDev 10g : deploy to standalone OC4J

hi
(using JDeveloper 10g Preview, build 1375)
I have been trying to deploy an application to a standalone OC4J, based on the JDeveloper help topics:
- "Deploying ADF Business Components Web Applications to Oracle Application Server or Standalone OC4J"
- "About ADF Business Components Deployment Prerequisites for OC4J and Oracle Application Server Deployment"
After that I got:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: oracle/jbo/uicli/graph/JUSingleTableGraphDefThis class is in adfm.jar, which is part of the "ADF Model Runtime" library, which I configured to be deployed in my EAR file. I checked the files for my application in my standalone OC4J and adfm.jar was there. Even after restarting the OC4J, the class NoClassDefFoundError persisted.
(Oh, by the way, I wouldn't know where I am using the class JUSingleTableGraphDef in my application. At least non of my classes was in the stack trace.)
What should be my next step?
tnx
-Jan

hi
I'm not sure if this is related to what I have found in readme.html that is part of JDeveloper 10g preview:
--8<----------
Oracle Application Development Framework Issues
Struts Application Standalone is not Automatic (2996626)
Running a struts application in standalone OC4J results in NoClassDefFound exception
The workaround is to check the library in the deployment profile.
--8<----------If it is related, the workaround doesn't seem to apply because adfm.jar has been deployed with the application.
Any suggestions (from Oracle)?
Has anyone been able to deploy an ADF Business Components based application to a standalone OC4J?
tnx

Error deploying J2EE Application (EAR) to standalone OC4J

Hi
I'm invoking the admin_client.jar utility to deploy a webservice on a standalone OC4J, here is the command:
java -jar %OC4J_HOME%\j2EE\home\admin_client.jar deployer:oc4j:localhost:23791 oc4jadmin test -deploy -file C:\10GIDS\BIN\johnTestWS.ear -deploymentname johnsws -bindAllWebApps default-web-site -contextRoot johnsws

The java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/tools/javac/MainException in thread "main" error string (from my limited understanding) would mean there is a jar file missing from the CLASSPATH or something, yet, because the '-jar' option is selected when running the java command I don't have the option to include any classpath in the command string. What am I doing wrong?
I've been trying to assemble and deploy this web service for ages now and I think I'm very close to the end, can someone please show me that I'm doing something very simple wrong....?

Web server type of standalone oc4j needed for SSL Certificate

Hi,
We have a standalone oc4j 10.1.3 that hosts an application whose many of its pages use https and so we need to buy SSL certificate from any of CAs like Verisign, GeoTrust, etc.. All of these CAs are asking us about the web server type that the standalone OC4J uses. I read the following statement from this url:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B32110_01/web.1013/b28950/intro.htm#JICON100
"communications in a standalone environment is provided through the built-in *_OC4J Web server_*, which supports HTTP and HTTPS communications natively without the use of the Oracle HTTP Server"
On all of the SSL certificate systems of above CAs websites, they ask us to choose the web server type from a list of server types but I don't see OC4J web server listed and I am told that it is very important to make sure the web server type is correct otherwise the SSL Certificate that we buy may not be compatible with our web server type.
So, I like to know the exact built in web server type name that goes with Standalone OC4J or one that is closest and for which SSL Certificate is compatible.
Shown below is a list of web server types that I am asked to choose from on Verisign website.The closest to standalone oc4j according to below list is Oracle Wallet Manager but isn't this meant for Oracle Application Server (OAS) and not the standalone OC4J? we are using the java keytool to generate the CSR that we look to sign it via the verisign but again we are not sure about the web server type in the case of standalone OC4J that is not listed below. Please advice and thanks in advance to any of your responses in helping out.

Hi Zeus,
Type of certificate depends the method you will use to deploy the certificate on your application server.

Problems deploying PL/SQL Web Service example to standalone OC4J

I have built the PL/SQL Web Service example EMP_FETCHER in the tutorials that come with JDeveloper. When run with the embedded OC4J container, the web service works ok using the autogenerated client. However, while I can then successfully deploy the web service to a standalone OC4j instance running on a separate database server, when I point the client at it, a NoSuchMethodError exception is thrown by oc4j with the following stacktrace;

Looks like I'm missing some support libraries but I'm unsure which ones they are, and why they wouldn't be part of a standard OC4J installation.
I've tried including the SQLJ runtime and Oracle JDBC library support in the deployment and redeploying but the same error persists.
Any assistance would be appreciated

You have an old version of java installed. That is what "java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError" tells.

How Standalone OC4J and the Oracle Application Server linked to each other

Hi ,
Please let me know what is the relation between a Standalone OC4J and the Oracle Application Server ?
In my application The Oracle Application Server is installed in C drive and there is a Stand alone oC4j .
Please tell me how they are linked to each other .
Thank you .

It depends on your need and what features and functionality of Oracle Application Server you are interested in. Note that OC4J is a component of Oracle Application Server that can run as a standalone component or within Oracle Application Server. Question #6 in earlier mentioned FAQ document states:
OC4J standalone is J2EE 1.3 compatible (1.4 and 1.5 too in later releases of OC4J) and is able to be used in both development and small scale production environments. OC4J standalone provides its own inbuilt HTTP/S listener to allow clients to execute Web applications that it has deployed. Application deployment and server configuration of OC4J standalone is performed by the manual editing of a simple set of XML files.
For large scale enterprise deployments, the Oracle Application Server product is likely to be more suitable with its comprehensive feature set including Oracle HTTP Server, process monitoring and management capabilities, and its configuration and management console.
So if you are happy with what you see in standalone OC4J and scalability isn't an issue for you, you can stay with standalone OC4J and don't need to move to Oracle Application Server.
PS: If you do decide to use OC4J that's embedded with Oracle Application Server, you can't move your standalone OC4J inside Oracle Application Server. You will have to reconfigure embedded OC4J again (as you might have done with standalone OC4J) and redeploy your applications.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
Shail

Error deploying to standalone OC4J app server

Hey all,
I created a web app with jdeveloper 10.1.3.3 using OC4J 10.1.3.3 as well. I'm using EJB and session beans to communicate with a database. nothing particularly fancy about it, i just read tables from the db. however, when i try and deploy through jdev to the standalone OC4J i get an error. here's the last part of the deployment log when it fails:
Deployment Log:
Binding ibmswauth web-module for application ibmswauth to site default-web-site under context root ibmswauth
Operation failed with error:
[ibmswauth:ibmswauth] - Exception creating EntityManagerFactory using PersistenceProvider class oracle.toplink.essentials.PersistenceProvider for persistence unit WD_WORK.
The only thing in my Persistence.xml file is the <persistence-unit> tag with name "WD_WORK", and in that a <jta-data-source> tag.
Also, it runs fine on the local embedded server, it's only when i try and deploy that it gives this error. I even deployed my app to an EAR file and tried uploading it manually to the app server, still same error.
any ideas?

If you have a model project that has objects referenced by the view controller/UI project then you need to explicitly include them in the deployment. Unlike in embedded OC4J they wont be automatically included.
Create an ADF library deployment profile in the model project and include the generated library in your UI project war file. You can add this jar to the project Libraries/Classpath then make sure it is included in the WEB-INF/lib Contributors list.

Standalone OC4J vs Application Server

1) What is the difference between the Standalone OC4J and the Oracle Application Server (10g)?
2)Under what circumstance do I need/Should use Standalone OC4J?
3)Can I deploy several web applications to the same Standalone OC4J, or must I use the application server in this case?
Thanks to help.
Scott

I assume you are referring to the "OC4J Standalone Distributions" linked to from production Downloads page, option 10.
(http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/devuse.html)
The General FAQ http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/oc4j/index.html
will probably provide a lot of answers. Specially items 6-8. (latest faq is for 10.1.2, I believe this has changed a bit over time)
I guess management of OC4J, inside and outside AS environments, is a main difference.
There's also a ton of info if you check MetaLink
Some general type answers to your questions:
1)
There's a world of differences.
Application Server (AS) is a huge collection of products, a software development platform really, for any type of application or "solution area".
This platform, according to Oracle, "... addresses all the challenges that you face as you refine your business processes to become an e-business." Impressive, eh?
OC4J is an important, core component of Oracle AS.
Chapter 1 of Concepts Guide is a good place to start. Docu Library: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_04/index.htm
2)
OC4J stands for Oracle Containers for J2EE, which should give a hint. Standalone is a "stripped" variant, not suited to sit in an AS environment.
But the questions itself I'll better leave for you to answer.
(understand your requirements and read up on the AS product suite and components)
3)
Licensing is a whole other world.
I think your best options is to talk to your customer contact at Oracle local office. Or read the FAQ.
Hth,
Fredrik

Install OC4J without web server

Can you install OC4J with out the web server, so that you only have the application server portion running on a machine? Thanks in advance.

Can you install OC4J with out the web server, so that you only have the application server portion running on a machine? Thanks in advance. Hi
I dont think u can install OC4J without web server. But u can for sure disable the web server by commenting the following line in server.xml
<web-site path="./default-web-site.xml" />
now, only the application server portion will b running

Unable to deploy a simple WAR / EAR file on Standalone OC4J instance

All,
This issue is baffling me since yesterday and while I continue to look for options , would appreciate if anyone of you has run into something similar and give me some hints on how to proceed on this ..
I downloaded the Standalone OC4J ( 10.1.3 ) from otn.oracle.com and also downloaded JDK 1.5 Update 12 from the Sun Website and installed it on my local
Windows XP machine. Everything works well and the application gets deployed.
I then copied the 10.1.3 Standalone OC4J to the Solaris 5.9 box which already
has JDK 1.5 Update 12 installed. We extracted the OC4J to its own directory , set the Java_Home and the Oracle_Home environment variables and were able to
startup the OC4J instance.
However when trying to deploy even a simple HelloWorld.jsp file packaged as an EAR or WAR , we get these errors..

Using the above error messages , I certainly do not find the CISS.ear file getting copied to /home/aplperdev1/ssp_java/oc4j/j2ee/home/applications/CISS.ear
which explains the rest of the messages.
I have tried placing the EAR file both remote and local on the Application Server box but the results remain the same. Assuming it might be a permissions issue , we have opened up all the permissions on this OC4J home ( recursively )
to everyone ..
Is there a specific version of tar / unzip / jar required to deploy EARs / WARs on Solaris 5.9 running JDK 1.5 Update 12.
We had some issues when extracting OC4J to its directory but there were no errors displayed on the screen ... Only when we tried starting up the OC4J instance , it started complaining about missing XML files .. This was resolved by manually extracting the XML's from the corresponding jars and placing them in the proper directories ..
Also looked at Bug:6330834 but am not very sure if this applies to our case because all these drives are local to the Sun box.
Other than attempting a reinstall and opening an Service Request with Oracle , I am running out of ideas at this time ..
So any ideas / hints would be gladly accepted :)
Vishwa

When you say:
I then copied the 10.1.3 Standalone OC4J to the Solaris 5.9 box which already has JDK 1.5 Update 12 installed. We extracted the OC4J to its own directory , set the Java_Home and the Oracle_Home environment variables and were able to
startup the OC4J instance.
We had some issues when extracting OC4J to its directory but there were no errors displayed on the screen ... Only when we tried starting up the OC4J instance , it started complaining about missing XML files .. This was resolved by manually extracting the XML's from the corresponding jars and placing them in the proper directories ..
It sounds like you have some funky issues there with those missing XML files -- that is not expected or normal.
Do you mean you copied the same oc4j_extended.zip to the server and unzipped it, or you zipped up the directories you were using on the Windows box, copied that over, and unzipped it?
I don't know of any problems with Solaris, JDK5, U12.
What about if you do this to remove any issues with the remote copy aspect of the deployment.
1. Stop OC4J.
2. Manually copy CISS.ear to /home/aplperdev1/ssp_java/oc4j/j2ee/home/applications/
3. Edit the j2ee/home/config/server.xml file and add the entry to deploy the application
4. Edit the j2ee/home/config/default-web-site.xml and bind any web-modules you need.
5. Start the server and see what happens -- the application should be deployed.
Also, what happens if you use the $JAVA_HOME/bin/jar to try and view the contents of the CISS.ear file?
