Create New Provider Error

Question

Hi, guys,
When I tried to created new provider to link to external application web page. I got the error:
=========================================
Error: An error occurred when attempting to call the providers register function. (WWC-43134)
The following error occurred during the call to Web provider: Unable to initialize new provider instance: java.lang.NumberFormatException: (WWC-43147)
==========================================
Also the Jserv.log file for the error are:
===========================================
[20/06/2001 13:10:25:203 PDT] myfirstjsp/javax.servlet.ServletException: Unable to initialize new provider instance: java.lang.NumberFormatException:
at oracle.portal.provider.v1.http.HttpProvider.getProvider(HttpProvider.java:339)

at org.apache.jserv.JServConnection.run(JServConnection.java, Compiled Code)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:479)
==========================================
But when I try to access the page by
http://mycompany.com/servlet/myyahoo, It can find the provider file. Here is I got:
===============================
Congratulations! You have successfully reached your Provider's Test Page.
Checking for components:
Oracle XML parser: detected
Oracle JSP: detected
Recognizing initArgs: Usual initArgs are provider_root and sessiontimeout.
provider_root: D:\oracle\products\ora9ias\jpdk\provider\myyahoo
sessiontimeout: 1800
==========================================
Anyone met the problem before, please give me some advise. Thanks!

Hi, Sue,
Thanks again for the help.
I follow the two files again. Let first go over the sample one. When I http the location: http://myhost/servlet/sample, then I got:
====================================
Congratulations! You have successfully reached your Provider's Test Page.
Checking for components:
Oracle XML parser: detected
Oracle JSP: detected
Recognizing initArgs: Usual initArgs are provider_root and sessiontimeout.
provider_root: D:\oracle\products\ora9ias\pdk\pdk\jpdk\provider\sample
sessiontimeout: 1800000
=========================================
It looks fine for me. Then I continue the steps to register the provider by following steps:
==============================
Under the Administer tab (on Oracle Portal home page), click on Add a Portlet Provider within the portlet called Provider.
Fill out Provider information for the Sample.
Name: SampleWebProvider
Display Name: Sample Web Provider
Timeout: 100
Timeout Message: Application Timed Out
Implementation Style: Web
Provider Login Frequency: Once per User Session
Register on Remote Nodes: No
URL: http://myserver.mydomain.com:port/servlets/sample (replace this with your URL)
Check the following radio button: The user has the same identity in the HTTP providers application as in the Single Sign-On identity.
Proxy: No (As long as no proxy is required to contact the Provider Adapter).
Click OK.
=======================================
I got :
==================================
Error: An unexpected error occurred: ORA-00001: unique constraint (PORTAL30.WWPRO_PROVIDERS_UK1) violated (WWC-43000)
==================================
And the following is from the log file jserv.log
================================
[03/07/2001 14:04:22:984 PDT] sample/init
[03/07/2001 14:16:43:156 PDT] urlsample/init
[03/07/2001 14:16:43:437 PDT] oracle.jsp.JspServlet: init
[03/07/2001 14:17:39:656 PDT] page/oracle.webdb.page.ParallelServlet: init
[03/07/2001 14:17:39:703 PDT] page/Starting a pool of 25 handlers.
=========================================
It did not give me any hint.
Now I following D:\oracle\products\ora9ias\jpdk\installing.url.html step by step.
Everything is fine to I typed http://myhost/servlet/urlsample, I got:
===============================
Congratulations! You have successfully reached your Provider's Test Page.
Checking for components:
Portlets are:
URLPerlPortlet
URLMicrosoftportlet
XMLFilterPortlet
URLIllustration
Oracle JSP: detected
Recognizing initArgs: Usual initArgs are provider_root and sessiontimeout.
provider_root : D:\oracle\products\ora9ias\pdk\pdk\urlservices\provider\urlsample
sessiontimeout : 1800000
====================================
I feel good so far.
then I follow the following step by step:
===================================
Under the Administer tab in the Oracle 9iAS Portal homepage, click on Add a Portlet Provider within the portlet called Provider.
Enter Provider information for the Sample.
Name: URLSamples
Display Name: URL Services Samples
Timeout: 10
Timeout Message: URL Services Samples Timed Out
Implementation Style: Web
Provider Login Frequency: Never
Register on Remote Nodes: No
URL: http://myserver.mydomain.com:port/servlets/urlsample (replace this with your URL)
Check the following radio button: The user has the same identity in the HTTP providers application as in the Single Sign-On identity.
Proxy: No (As long as no proxy is required to contact the Provider Adapter).
Click OK.
=================================
Until I click OK, then I got it fine.
and I can see the "URL Services Samples"
in my "Display Portlet Repository".
Then I did it again for the sample case above, After I click OK, I got:
=================================
Error: An error occurred when attempting to call the providers register function. (WWC-43134)
An unexpected error occurred: ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception: Expected 'EOF'. (WWC-43000)

=====================================
I am confused until here the URLSample works, but not the Sample? Please be advise. Thanks!
