Deploying ColdFusion 8 project via EAR/WAR file

I was wondering what considerations to take when deploying a ColdFusion 8 project as an EAR/WAR file. Is it possible to create the file on one computer (eg: development) and run it on another (eg: server)?

ecalibur_lk wrote on 1/14/2010 11:47 PM:
With ColdFusion packaged into the EAR, do you need ColdFusion installed on the environment you are deploying it on for it to work?
No. You need to have a J2EE server like JBoss or JRun.
If so, does it make a difference on what version of ColdFusion it is packaged with (eg: Developer vs. Enterprise edition)?
If you want to We package our EAR files without a license key and
leave it up to our clients to make sure they have the proper licenses
for their environment. If they put a key in the properties file, we use
the Admin API to register the instance. If they don't put a key in the
properties file, the instance is a developer edition.
Do you know of somewhere that describes how to build an EAR file via ANT and how to deploy it?

How to deploy a project to EAR file

Hi,
I am a new bee to Jdeveloper. Could some body give me hints how to deploy my project to EAR file as I need to handover that EAR file to my admin to deploy it on the Application server.
I am following these steps
right clicked on the project >> click NEW >> Deployment profiles >> select EAR file from the right hand side and click OK >> given the deployment profile name as Jobmanage
And selected the path as C:\Oracle_Jdeveloper\jdev\mywork\MANAGEJOB\Project and clicked OK >> and given the application name as Jobmanage and pressed OK>>
In the Deploy folder of the project the EAR project is created but it is only 7 KB which is normally above 4 MB.
And it automatically creatig a file underneath RESOURCES >> Jobmanage.Deploy
Cheers,
Krishna

More specifically,
- create a WAR deployment profile (New... -> General -> Deployment Profiles -> WAR File)
- create an EAR deployment profile (New... -> General -> Deployment Profiles -> EAR File)
- double-click on the EAR deployment profile and tick the check box for the WAR deployment profile.

EAR/WAR File Deployment Query on WEBLOGIC SERVER

Hi,
We are running weblogic server version 10.3.4.0 where EAR/ WAR files deployed on single server and that has been configured in the current WebLogic Server domain. These applications are up and running fine. We need to deploy a new WAR file on the same domain. My questions are:
@ Whether I can deploy new WAR file without STARTing and STOPing weblogic server instance?
@ When deploying new WAR file, whether it will affect existing deployed files or will it affect any other running services for a fraction of second?
Note: This new WAR file is independent application and will not affect any other services in the future.
Please assist.
Thanks,
Dheeraj

Thank you for your help but the result is still the same.
I deployed the library on weblogic server suggested by you.
File Deployed as library = oracle.adf.desktopintegration.model.ear
From the folder = C:\Oracle\Middleware\oracle_common\modules\oracle.adf.desktopintegration.model_11.1.1
It is active.
After this I loaded jdeveloper and deploy the same sample application and found that the result is same.
Pls let me know where I am going wrong.
Regards,
Masood

Deploying a CF app as WAR file

I'd like to package an existing ColdFusion application as a
WAR file and deploy it on a J2EE server. I've been trying to test
this out locally without success. If you have a magic bullet,
you're disco-superfly. If you just have a suggestion for further
troubleshooting, you're still double cherry pie. Gruesome details
follow... (Thanks!)
PACKAGING:
I've got a developer version of MX7 running on Windows XP. I
threw together a demo CF app, "SimpleApp". In the administrator, I
go to "Packaging & Deployment" > "J2EE Archives (.ear/.war)"
and create an archive (SimpleApp.war).
DEPLOYMENT:
I've tried this on both JRun and several versions of Tomcat
without success. On each server, I have been able to deploy a WAR
file from a previous project created straight from Java/JSP - just
not the one created in the CF administrator.
JRun4:
In the administrator, I "add" the web applications in the
"J2EE Components" section and everything looks okay. When I browse
to the webapp created in native Java/JSP, everything looks
beautiful; but when I browse to
http://127.0.0.1:8100/SimpleApp/
I see a "403 Forbidden" error. Server log default-event.log is at:
http://www.google.com/base_media?q=hand3802261193274630671&size=8
Tomcat 4.1 running on J2SDK1.4.2_12:
Native Java WAR deploys and runs fine.
I copy SimpleApp.war to the Tomcat webapps\ folder and the
archive is extracted successfully; but Tomcat fails to start the
application.
Server logs:
localhost_log.2006-09-22.txt:
http://www.google.com/base_media?q=hand-2475548630705385852&size=8
stdout_20060922.log:
http://www.google.com/base_media?q=hand-6363724281182167089&size=8
I notice an error mentioning "Invalid <url-pattern>
*.cfml/* in servlet mapping" so I go into the extracted webapp,
comment out the Search Engine Safe URL mappings in web.xml and try
again. Now get an error about not being able to find a
configuration file flex-config.xml... Tomcat still can't start the
webapp.
Server logs:
localhost_log.2006-09-22.txt:

stdout_20060922.log:
http://www.google.com/base_media?q=hand-8426419238544575272&size=8
I heard that MX7 only works with Java versions through 1.4.2
and Tomcat has it's own compatibility requirements; but I thought
I'd try other versions of Tomcat...
Tomcat 5.5 running on JRE1.5.0_06 and bundled SDK:
Native Java WAR deploys and runs fine.
SimpleApp won't start (problems similar to above).
Tomcat 5.5 running on JRE1.4.2_12 (with compatibility patch)
and bundled SDK:
Native Java WAR deploys and runs fine.
SimpleApp won't start (problems similar to above).

Dear jarviswabi,
Could you believe I just ran into the same problem you had in 2008, and STILL there are no documented solution to this issue.
I am trying to deploy a simple CF code using Tomcat 7.0.20, and it just does not work!
How did you ever resolve this error in Tomcat? It is supposed to be pretty staright forward, but it just does not work.
Any ideas? been looking for days...
Appeciate any insight yo may have into this problem.
Thanks!

JDeveloper 10g, ADF, ANT:How to define ant task for EAR & WAR file creation

I am trying to automate the deployment process of our ADF Faces & BC application. I have reviewed this doc:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/web.1013/b28951/anttasks.htm
and followed the procedure for integrating ant onto the server. I can build the project and also successfully deploy the ear file. Howerver, I did not find any instruction on how to generate the EAR file. Can anyone point me to the right place for this task definition?

Building & deploying ColdFusion apps via Ant

I'm trying to create a Ant build script for building and
deploying ColdFusion applications as a WAR. I am able to compile
the ColdFusion code, and creating the WAR itself is pretty simple,
but there's two steps I'm not familiar with:
a) How do you generate the applications' web.xml, config.xml,
neo-debug.xml, neo-query.xml, license.properties, etc files that
are needed in the WAR?
b) Is it possible to use Ant to do deploy time configuraton
of the ColdFusion app? For example, setting the database that will
be used.
I have looked at the build.xml that is generated by
ColdFusion MX7's administration tool, but this only does the
compile step and the WAR creation step. The doesn't seem to be any
documented Ant task for the other things I asked about above.
If anyone has done this, I would very much appreciate it if
you could point me in the right direction. Sample ant build files
would be especially appreciated, but even just a clue as to where
to look for the info I need would be very helpful.

I've also been looking into this and it appears you can only pre-load apps onto the iPhone that you have made, ie ones you have access to the original .ipa file.
If anyone knows of a way to configure a large deployment of iPhones with a standard app base, Skype, WiFi finder, Units across 20+ iPhones please post it here.
If anyone can save me from downloading each app 60 times it'll be much appreciated.

Unable to deploy a simple servlet using WAR file on Oracle9iAS v9.0.3

Hi All,
I am facing problem while deploying a simple servlet using WAR file on Oracle 9i App Server.
I have installed Oracle9iAS J2EE and Web Cache v9.0.3 on Windows 2000 server.
It includes:
     - Oracle HTTP Server
     - Oracle9iAS Containers for J2EE
     - Oracle9iAS Web Cache
     - Oracle Enterprise Manager
The release of installed Oracle9iAS is Release 2 (9.0.3)
I referred following link to Deploy Applications Using WAR file:
     http://otn.oracle.com/products/ias/daily/sept12.html
As mentioned in this documentation I have followed following steps to deploy WAR file:
1] I have created a war file by name SimpleServlet.war. In SimpleServlet.war, there is a servlet by name Simple which prints time at which servlet was accessed.
2] I have modified <ora9ias_home>\j2ee\home\config\application.xml and added following web module entry:
     <web-module id="SimpleServlet" path="../../home/applications/SimpleServlet.war" />
3] To make this module accessible from over the web, I have modified file
     <ora9ias_home>\j2ee\home\config\default-web-site.xml and added following entry:
     <web-app application="SimpleServlet" name="SimpleServlet" root="/SimpleServlet"/>
4] I saved both the files and started Oracle HTTP Server and accessed page as below:
          http://<server>:7777/SimpleServlet/Simple
where Simple is servlet in SimpleServlet.war file.
In the browser, The page cannot be found is shown to user. I have verified that SimpleServlet.war is extracted to SimpleServlet folder under <ora9ias_home>\j2ee\home\applications folder. I found that Simple.class is stored under WEB-INF/classes folder and web.xml contains correct entry for url pattern for servlet Simple.
What else could be the problem? Am I placing the war file in wrong place or modifying application.xml or default-web-site.xml in a wrong directory?
This is very urgent. Please help me with your valuable comments on this.
Thanks in advance.

Sandesh

Regards,
SandeshHave you restarted you http server and then tried to load it again? Are you using the right port; maybe you have to use port 7778? Check you server settings in the http server instance. Also check your url binding of you application at Farm > Application Server: infrastructurehost > OC4J_instance > Application: appname > Web Module: modulename
Good luck!

Problems while creating a project from a war file...

Hi there, I created a new project in jDev 10.1.3 from a war file that contains a web site that originally ran on TomCat. The problem is that my web.xml file does not contain any information about the servlets that I have in the war file. So when I try running a servlet, I always get an error.
Is there a way to bypass the need to declare every single servlet I have in the web.xml file? If not, are there tools that exist that I could use to do this automatically?
Thanks

Hi,
You can try the following:
1. Give the fully qualified domain name of the DTR server host in NWDS Preferences->Development Configuration.
2. Check if your WAS and JDI are on a higher SP level. If yes then use the corresponding NWDS.

List the contents of jar, ear, war files

Hi All,
It has been several years since I have worked in java and now I am trying to get caught back up :-).
My question is: Is there a standard utility that can dump/list the contents of the packaging files: jar, ear, war?
Thanks in advance!

You can use winzip. OR you can use the jar command provided in JDK.
jar -tvf <<your archive (jar, war, ear)>>

Deploying a project to a JAR file with user libraries

Hello,
I wonder how I could deploy my application to a JAR file which would include some libraries that are used by my classes.
The default behavior is not including that libraries, altough the jar is runnable because it finds the libraries (which path have been set in the project properties panel).
Any advice ?
Thanks,
Olivier

Update Portal Web Project with ALBPM WAR file

I'm trying to follow the procedures for merging ALBPM WAR file and WebLogic Portal WAR file. See link below:
http://edocs.bea.com/albsi/docs60/config_wls/index.html?t=enterprise/wlp/c_HEAD_WLP_Config.html#c_HEAD_WLP_Config
I brought 08-workspace-wlp-FDIDS.war into WebLogic Platform. When I expanded it, I can't find WEB-INF/classes in the source WAR file as mentioned in step 4. I'm getting a whole bunch of "cannot resolved" errors. What exactly do I need to bring into WEB-INF/classes folder in the destination? Thanks.

hi
well if you can merge the two wars (using any of the techniques mentioned in the other post) then thats probably good. If you cant then
a) you either have to use WSRP (it uses SOAP behind the scenes but all that is transparent to you)
OR
b) use something like a web clipping / screen scraping portlet (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13155_01/wlp/docs103/portlets/seltype.html#wp1011062)
I'd see if the war's can be merged first , if not then I'd go with option a) ..

Class file missing from war file deployment

I have a web application that is being deployed to a war file. I have deployed several times successfully. Then with the latest changes, there is a class file that does not get included into the war file. It does get compiled and does exist in the project directory.
The class file is in a seperate project from the project where the war file deployment profile is; however both projects are in the same workspace.
There are several other classes in the project that contains the missing class file that does get included in the war file. I don't see anywhere in the profile where these files are selected individually.
I'm at a loss as to how to fix this problem other than add the file after deployment.
Appreciate any help or ideas...

Deploying an existing WAR file into the Portal

I have downloaded the Enterprise Portal and the SAP Netweaver Developer Studio (NDS) and have succeeded in creating a couple of projects of the Hello World variety and deployed them on the Portal! So far, so good.
The problem I have is that need to deploy on the Portal an existing JSP/Struts application of ours which is available as a Web Archive (WAR) file.
The problem is that I cannot find a way of deploying an existing WAR file on the Portal either via a Project or otherwise. I have found an entry in the Help files with the NDS which sounds promising, as it is entitled Import a .WAR File into a new project. However, the menu entry it says you should use (File ‑> Import ‑> MDK: Import a web archive (.WAR) into a new project) this last entry does not exist on my installation of NDS.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Hi Mustafa (and All) - thanks you very much for your answers, which has enabled me to make good progress.
I have created a project in the Deploy Tool, imported a simple WAR file into it, loaded to project and depployed it on my instance of the Portal - or at least I have deployed it as far as the Deploy Tool is concerned.
However, when I try to find it in the Portal in order to assign it to an iView in the Portal content, I can't find any evidence of its existence!!
As another 'tack' in the NDS I have created an 'Enterprise Application Project', into which I appear to have imported the WAR file - but I cant package this as a PAR file, which is what I seem to need to do to get it into an iView on the Portal. To create a PAR package I seem to need to create a 'Portal Application Project' - but I can't find a way of getting the WAR file into that!!
Any further advice would be greatefully received.
Thanks for your help to date and thanks in advance for any more you may be able to give.
Regards,
Dave
