Error on deploying a Web Service on 9iAS release 2

Question

Hi, somebody could help me on deploying a Web Service on 9iAS release 2?, I have applied the UDDI patch through the orauddi.zip file downloaded from otn web site. But on the J2EE Web Service Deploying Wizard (OEM Web Site), at the Web Service configuration stage, a message is displayed telling me that a Web Service must be deployed if the 9iAS instance which has an infrastructure connection, and this is not my case (I don't want to install the infrastructure. The UDDISYS schema was installed on a simple 9i DB release 2 successfully and for the orauddi application deployed I had created a Data Source for this user).
On trying to do the same task from JDeveloper 9.0.3, an error ADM is displayed advincing the searching of errors in the log.xml file located on IAS_HOME/dcm/logs directory. Below I have copy the last part of this file, corresponding to the error day.

But, I can deploy this Web Service in the OC4J embedded on JDeveloper, successfully (from JDeveloper). Any idea?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Pablo.

Answer 1

Because you do not have an infrastructure database, you will not be able to deploy your web service from OEM as one of its steps is to register the service in the UDDI registy - the Web service deployment and UDDI registration are tied tightly together in OEM right now.
All is not lost, however. You have two routes to deploy the Web Service on Oracle9iAS:
1. Use DCM, which is the command line interface to deploy applications/webservices/wars/ears on Oracle9iAS. It does not have the dependency on UDDI.
To deploy a Web service using DCM, say your Web service ear file were named test.ear your deployment command would look something like:
c:\oracle\ora903\dcm\bin\dcmctl deployApplication -file test.ear
See the doc for much more detail to let you tailor DCM to do all the stuff that is available through EM or specific to your application:
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/A97329_03/core.902/a92171/dcm.htm#643834
2. In JDeveloper 9.0.3, there is a DCM Servlet that lets you do remote deployment to Oracle9iAS:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev/htdocs/readme_9031.html#viadcm
I suspect your deployment problem from Oracle9i JDeveloper may be (this may be an incorrect assumption) due to trying to use a connection that is setup as if Oracle9iAS is a standalone OC4J.
