Compilation error when deploying EAR file on standalone OC4J...

Question

Hi All,
I am getting the following error when trying to deploy an EAR File describing a web service from the Jdeveloper IDE to the stanalone OC4J server instance.

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.

Answer 1

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.
