Where I can get OC4J as a component of Oracle Application Server

Hi all !
I installed Oracle Application Server 10g release 2 (10.1.2) and updated Oracle AS Portal to 10.1.4. I want download the Oracle Container for J2EE (OC4J) 10g release 3 (10.1.3.4) as a component of Oracle Application Server (not a Standalone OC4J). Where I can find it ? At the http://edelivery.oracle.com/ I found some of items such as :
+ Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.3) for Microsoft Windows (32-bit) (DVD) (Part 1 of 6) --> six parts.
+ Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.4.0) Companion CD 1 of 3 for Microsoft Windows x86 (32-bit) --> three parts.
But I don't know which of type ?
Pls show me link where I can get it ?

It moved to Where I can get OC4J as a component of Oracle AS 10g release 3 ?

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

Discoverer viewer without oracle application server

Hi,
has anybody heard, how to use the discoverer viewer with
another application server (than oracle).
since j2ee is a standard there schould be a way.
our administrators will not look after another
application server, just to get some reports.
so i have to get it running on a non-oracle-application server (or worst case: choose another reporting tool)
thanks,
Udo

Discoverer is available and ships as a component of Oracle Application Server. Oracle Application Server via Oracle HTTP Server provides a proxy capability to support other web servers such as Netscape iPlanet and Microsoft IIS. The proxy capability will enable client applications to directly route requests to their native web server and these then get routed to Oracle Application Server and the Oracle HTTP Server. For detailed information on support for these web servers please refer to Oracle Application Server documentation.

Discoverer Technical Team

What are components of Oracle Application server ?

Hello Experts,
I am little confused about Oracle Application Server 10g.
I have done some research to collect the information about the Oracle Application Server 10g.
As for my study, The below are the key components of Oracle Application server.
1. Oracle HTTP Server. (Middle tier component)
2. OC4J (Middle tier component)
3. Oracle AS Webcache (Middle tier component)
4. Oracle AS Portal (Middle tier component)
5. Oracle BI (Middle tier component)
6. OID (Infra tier component)
7. Oracle AS Metadata Repository (Infra tier component)
Does that mean, if I install Oracle Application Server(both the middle tier and infra tier), I can get all the above components ?
If that is right, Are all these components be installed in separate individual oracle home's or in a single oracle home ?
I appreciate any responses.
Regards,
Ravi k

Please see the following note on Metalink for most updated Certification Matrix for the OS, your machine and Oracle AS products.
Note Id: 742649.1
If you are using an AMD 64bit machine, then paritcularly check line 88. If you have an intel, see particularly 125 and 126 to see the relevant patches to be applied before installation of your type of AS software.
hope that helps!

Apex Listener vs. Oracle Application Server... advantages?

Are there advantages to installing Apex Listener over using an existing Oracle Application Server instance to serve Apex applications?
We have an existing application server instance in production. Would introducing Apex Listener and the extra overhead be of any advantage?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Hello "Portal Dude",
Are there advantages to installing Apex Listener over using an existing Oracle Application Server instance to serve Apex applications?APEX Listener introduces some additional features, such as Resource Templates, but lacks some others. Some people might want to migrate from OAS to another JEE Container that doesn't come along with a OHS/mod_plsql. Depending on the JEE Container, you could use AJP for load balancing, avoiding plain HTTP through a firewall, etc.
Would introducing Apex Listener and the extra overhead be of any advantage?The "extra overhead" may be smaller than you think. If you don't need the HTTP_Server component any longer, but can just deploy APEX Listener on the OC4J of your OAS, you might even save some bytes.
For several other aspects, there have been a few posts on that topic in the past:
{thread:id=1100122}
{thread:id=1555908}
{thread:id=1594158}
If there's anything you don't find in either the posts or the documentation, don't hesitate to ask.

How to install Oracle Report Services in Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.1

My project is running on Oracle Application Server(OAS) 10.1.3.1, and I need to develop some Oracle Reports for my client.
But I find out there is not "Oracle Report Services" component in OAS 10.1.3.1 like OAS 10.1.2.
Is there Oracle Report Services for OAS 10.1.3.1? How to get it?

Max Yuan wrote:
You mean I need to install 2 OAS(10.1.2 for report, 10.1.3 for my project), or deploy my project to 11g? For the Reports reporting project, you'll need a version/edition that includes AS Reports Services.
In "10gr2" that means AS 10.1.2.0.2 (plus Patch set): AS Infrastructure + AS BI&Forms installation (enterprise edition) or the standalone Forms and Reports installation (EE or separate licensing). You also need the Developer Suit (Reports Builder). OFM "11gr1" suite has some version of Reports Services but I don't know the available packages and installation types.

Oracle application server 10g and apex

Hi allm
Can someone show me a guide on how to use Oracle Application Server 10g with APEX. I'm currently using Oracle HTTP Server but decided to use OAS instead so that I can use the Report Server and the Oracle BI Publisher for the reports.
I'm currently using this guide (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/howto_useoas10g.html) but I can't seem to find the marvel.conf and the oracle_apache.conf.
Also, is it really necessary to use OAS instead of Oracle HTTP Server if I want to use Oracle BI Publisher?
Thanks.
Allen
Edited by: A.Sandiego on Sep 3, 2008 12:01 AM

Hi,
Thanks for the response.
Unfortunately I still get the same problem. Somehow I just can't find the marvel.conf anywhere in my machine. I setup my APEX not by using the companion cd but by downloading the apex_3.1.2 then running the apexins.sql. Then install the Oracle HTTP Server only and configured the dads.conf located in the ORACLE_HTTP_SERVER_HOME/Apache/Apache/mod_plsql/conf. It works perfectly with this.
I then installed Oracle Application Server 10g. I'm trying to figure out how to use this instead of the Oracle HTTP Server.
Thanks.

How to create client stub while deployign EAR on Oracle Application Server

Hi,
I have deployed an EJB on Oracle Application Server 10g 10.1.2.0.2. And i want to call this ejb from other app server using ejb client. For that i need client stub.
Is there any way I can create client stub while deploying EJB on the OC4J?
I am sure there will be some options.
Thanks and Regards
AT

Amit,
It depends on which transport protocol you use to transmit both the client requests and the server responses: either IIOP or ORMI.
Here's how it works: if you've chosen the IIOP protocol, the client stubs are generated at deploy time and stored in the iiopClient.jar file. Once created, you append this file to your java client's classpath.
Now, if your choice is ORMI, the client stubs are created on demand by the container, so there is no need to append any jar file to the client classpath.
Consult the OC4J Services Guide in the Official Oracle Application Server docs for further inforrmation on this topic, specially the "Remote Method Invocation" chapter.

Deploying Jave portlet on Oracle Application Server 10g

I have installed Oracle 10g Application server, donwloaded and installed JDevleoper 9.0.5.1 and the latest Java Portal Development and as well as the JDeveloper portlet-addin. Now, I followed the instructions from the http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/PDK/ARTICLES/BUILD.JSR168.PORTLETS.USING.JAVA.PORTLET.WIZARD.9IJDEVELOPER.HTML
On using JDeveloper addin wizrd to create a java portlet and so far so good. However, I am stuff on the last bit on deployment. It document says "# Now use the URL provided in the log page at the bottom of JDeveloper to get part of your URL (e.g. http://myserver.uk.oracle.com:8888/my-portlet) and complete the URL.
http://myserver.uk.oracle.com:8888/my-portlet/portlets?WSDL
Now use this URL to register your portlet with OracleAS Portal.
But when i deploy my application (just a test thing), from the deployment tab I get:

My question is, HOW DO I ACCESS the deployed application, since it didn't specify the URL where it's deployed????
Many thanks
P/S
I have tried:
http://{myserver}:8888/{my-portlet}/portlets?WSDL but that doesn't work

Hi FormsEleven,
When you say you can do this or you have done for demo then considering following directory structure if I have two forms having common form names how it will be resolved?
Or how the url to access these forms will be?
As shown in the following structure consider we have Form1 in sub directory1 as well as in sub-directory2 then how the link to access these forms will be?
- Hosting Directory (formsweb.cfg entry)
- Sub Directory1
      - Form1
      - Form2
- Sub Directory2
      - Form1
      - Form4
- Sub Directory3
      - Form5
      - Form6

Configuring Oracle Application Server to use a user friendly url

Hi All,
I am having trouble configuring the apache httpd.conf file within an applicaton server to be able to use user-friendly urls for the infrastructure identity management tools server. I also need this for security reasons as well as hardware reasons - loadbalancing.
At the moment I have a standard setup, whereby the sso application server is using port 7777. I would like the user not to enter the port, but to enter just a standard url, like http://login.<company>.com.au, so that if the user needs to modify oid using the oiddas web application, they can enter something like http://login.<company>.com.au/oiddas/ rather than http://<machine host name>:7777/oiddas/. This would also be used by portal for sso logins.
From the standard installation, Apache was configured as follows:
Port 7777
Listen 7777
ServerName <machine host name>
DocumentRoot <root document folder>
Now reading the documentation from the Oracle Application Server Installation notes for the Http Server, they document how to do this (in the loadbalancer section - this will eventually be used in the hardware setup):
Port 80
Listen 7777
Listen 80
# Virtual Hosts
# This section is mandatory for URLs that are generated by
# the PL/SQL packages of the Oracle Portal and various other components
# These entries dictate that the server should listen on port
# 7777, but will assert that it is using port 80, so that
# self-referential URLs generated specify www.oracle.com:80
# This will create URLs that are valid for the browser since
# the browser does not directly see the host server.oracle.com.
NameVirtualHost <machine ip>:7777
<VirtualHost <nameofmachine>:7777>
ServerName login.<company>.com.au
Port 80
</VirtualHost>
# Since the previous virtual host entry will cause all links
# generated by the Oracle Portal to use port 80, the server.company.com
# server needs to listen on 80 as well since the Parallel Page
# Engine will make connection requests to Port 80 to request the
# portlets.
NameVirtualHost <machine ip>:80
<VirtualHost <nameofmachine>:80>
ServerName login.<company>.com.au
Port 80
<VirtualHost>
Note that I used slightly different names for the url's rather than the oracle names www.oracle.com and server.oracle.com
Now after applying this, I noticed not only could I not go to the oiddas from the original machine name, but also couldnt go there from the new machine name.
Also I was not even able to go to the standard index page whereby you can go to the enterprise manager for the application server, from either names.
The following urls provide me with "The Page Cannot Be Displayed" error message:
http://login.<company>.com.au:7777/
http://<nameofmachine>:7777/
The following urls provide me with "Page Under Construction" error message:
http://login.<company>.com.au/
http://<nameofmachine>/
Could someone please tell me why this is the case, considering I am using the installation procedures Oracle has published within the Oracle Http Server Admistrators Guide (http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/web.1012/b14007/netconf.htm#sthref379).
Cheers
Rodney

Hi Rondey,
Ik think that I can see your probleem.
Just change the following line at your httpd.conf, then restart the component.
First of all if the port is installed with nr. 7777. then the listen process will be on port 7778
the second thing is just try to do the following steps
((Port 80 to Port 7777)))
Listen 7778
%%%% In loadbalancer section %%%%%%
just add the following lines
Listen 80
Listen 8103
Listen 8102
NameVirtualHost *
NameVirtualHost *:8103 or 80
If you want to use this ports (8103 or 8102) for other site (url), then
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName <machine ip> or (host name)
Hear from U,
Regards,
Hamdy

Compilation problem in Oracle Application Server (9.0.x)

Hi All,
I have a JSP Page, with more than 200 controls, arranged in a tabs. When I try to run this file under Tomcat or JBoss, it runs fine. But when I run it in Oracle 9iAS (9.0.x), it fails to run. The difference is in the way the servlet is generated from the JSP file. In case of Tomcat and JBoss, the generated java file contains multiple methods for each component, so it runs fine. But in case of Oracle Application Server, the generated file has only one method jspService, which contains all the code. Because of this, the JVM throws an error saying "code too large public void jspService(HttpServletRequest request... ".
Can anyone help me on this issue? Do you know of any configuration setting for the compiler?
Thanks and Regards,
Aniket.

Wich processes don't start? do you have this services in Automatic?
Can you try to pass the to manual, and start the procs suing opmnctl command and check the logs of it?

Hi,
I have not experience with Oracle Names resolution, but did you start the server "NAMESCTL> START" ? (I'm not sure)
On the client, the SQLNET.ORA file contains an entry that lists onames first in the NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH parameter ?
e.g.: NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH=(onames, tnsnames, hostname)
There are some messages on the listener.log file ?
Cheers
