External ANT 1.6.2 with JDeveloper 10.1.3 Nothing in Message Window

I am new to JDeveloper and downloaded 10.1.3.
I have an existing web application and added it to a new Project in JDeveloper.
I added an external version of ANT 1.6.2 to my Project Properties and added the ant.jar and ant-launcher.jar to the Classpath along with weblogic.jar and other libraries.
I tried my "clean" and "dev" ANT tasks in JDeveloper, the Message Window does not have any output and the ANT process stays listed. It does not appear that the ANT tasks are executed and I can not Terminate the ANT processes unless I exit JDeveloper.
My build.xml works fine in a command prompt. What am I missing?
Thanks

Mark,
I understand about wanting to use Ant directly from Apache. We don't modify the version of Ant that ships with JDeveloper, but it is not a complete installation - we currently only ship the lib directory.
But regardless, from the sounds of things the problem you are seeing doesn't have to do with using an external version of Ant, but that you are unable to run Ant in JDeveloper at all, even with the default version.
Ant actually won't write anything to the Messages log. What should happen when you run Ant is that a new "Apache Ant" log window should appear in the log pane. Do you see the "Apache Ant" window appear when you run Ant?
If not, could you try running JDeveloper from the console using the "jdev.exe" (as opposed to the jdevW.exe)? That way, if any exceptions occur, you will see them output to the console. When you run JDeveloper in this manner, and try to launch Ant, do you see any exceptions? If so, could you please include the stack trace in this thread?
Also, have you set any other Ant options in the Project Properties? In particular, what else is on the Ant Classpath? You mentioned weblogic.jar in your first post, is there anything else?

Ant with jDeveloper, reading the environment

I should like to use Ant to build and deploy our J2EE applications.
The main reason is to get better control of what's put inside the WAR and EAR files eg. correct application.xml/orion-application.xml, correct property-files which might exist in different versions for development, test, production etc.
The best solution is perhaps to use standalone Ant, but since we use jDeveloper we'll try to use ant from jdev 903.
To control the behaviour of Ant I was planning to read the environment in the build script.
When running in jDev, I have problems with reading the environmet settings, like:
<property environment="env" />
<property name="oc4j.home" value="${env.OC4J_HOME}"/>
Anyone that has a solution?
thanks, Trond R.

Trond,
One way to handle this situation is to put all of your developer properties in a separate properties file, then load this file using the file attribute of the Ant property task. For example, you could create a file named build.properties, which contains the following line:
oc4j.home = c:\oc4j
Then, in your Ant buildfile, use:
<property file="build.properties"/>
This allows the developer to customize the build.properties file for their specific machine, but still use the standard build.xml file from the source control.
Using this mechanism, the developer can also override properties on the Ant command line for a specific build using the -D option. For example,
ant -Doc4j.home=d:\oc4j
This would override the value in the build.properties file for this build. You can specify Ant command line options in JDeveloper using the Ant panel under Project Properties.
Using a properties file instead of environment variables makes your Ant buildfile more portable. It can be used within an IDE such as JDeveloper, and can be run on any platform.

Integrating FTP with JDeveloper

Can anyone help me with integrating FTP with JDeveloper (10.1.3)
I am developing jsp pages for a web site. the website runs on a Sun Solaris UNIX server.
At present i develop my jsp pages in JDeveloper and save then to a file on my PC. I then have to use an external tool (Ultraedit) to FTP them to my webserver for testing.
I have seen in this forum that there is something called 'ant' which will allow you to FTP direct from JDeveloper. I know zero about 'ant' and after spending a couple of hours trawling arround the web i'm still no wiser.
Can someone give me a hands held, idiot friendly explanation of what i have to do to integrate FTP?
john

Here is a basic explanation of the FTP task in ANT.
You can just create a new Ant build file in your project, add this task with the correct parameters and then right-click run on the build file.
Another options is to use JDeveloper to create standard WAR file for deployment and then passing it to the server to deploy.

Integrating sonar with jdeveloper

Any idea that how sonar can be integrated with jdeveloper ?Is there any seperate sonar plugin available for jdeveloper?If anybody done this earlier,please tell me procedures about it.Thanks in advance

There is no jdev plugin for sonar. However, you can easily use sonar as external tool and even can add it to an ant build file.
That's not as tidily integrated as it can be, but it works.

Problem with tutorial; "Build a Web Application with JDeveloper 11g Using "

I've got a rather new installation of Vista Business x64 on my developer rig, and last week I installed the new JDeveloper 11g version. The installation was all-inclusive, no customization on my end.
In addition I've got a test installation of an Oracle DB 11gR1 on an available server here.
To familiarize myself with the new JDeveloper I decided to spend some time with the JDeveloper 11g tutorials found here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe11jdev/11/index.html.
I've started twice on the second tutorial, "Build a Web Application with JDeveloper 11g Using EJB, JPA, and JavaServer Faces", and find myself repeatedly stuck at step 19 in section "Creating the Data Model and Testing it".
It seems impossible to deploy the application to the default application server. The server starts fine on its own, I can access it via the admin console on port 7001 and it looks good. However, when I try to run the HRFacadeBean funny things are happening, symptomized by the following error messages seen in the IDE log-area:
The "Messages" pane displays:

I'm not that familiar with these things but it seems to me that there is an issue with port numbers here. The application seems to expect a app.server service at port 7101, but does'nt find one.
Any suggestions on how to fix this problem would be appreciated?

Jupp,
It fails in a similar way.
What I did was; create a simle 'Hello World' html file, saving it with the jsp extension. In Jdev11g i made a new application and an emtpy project, then loaded the jsp file and made it the default run-target. This compiles nicely.
When running the project it first attempts to start the WebLogicServer (WLS). After a few minutes it is started as seen in the "Running: DefaultServer" pane:

The WLS is still running though as I can still access its adm console.
To me it seems that it is attempting to start a separate instance of the WLS for each run attempt, but then I could be wrong.....:(
Later I'll try to change the default WLS port from 7001 to 7101 as suggested in another port here.
I must admit that I'm a bit surprised that the JDev11g doesn't work fine at this very simple level when performing a default install.

How to use BC4J with JDeveloper 9i in a Team

Hello
I'm not sure if I'm to stupid, but to say the truth I didn't found the clue how to share a BC4J Application between several develeopers. Maybe someone can give me a hint.
That's my situation:
Our team is going to develop a web application using BC4J and BC4J-JSP, nothing special I think.
But my problem is, that BC4J and especially the wizards refer to a lot of different files. Even simple changes often result in multiple files being changed in different parts of the project.
Creating a view link between view objects in two packages for example changes the view objects in both packages. Also the project (.jpr) file or several "BC4J.xcfg" files are changed very often.
So it is not easy to find parts of code from which I can say they are owned by one developer and others which are owned by another. Most often, if you have to merge the work of different developers, you have to edit the BC4J-XML-Files using an external editor. Or did someone find a better way? Please tell me!
So, what is the best way to share code between developers?
Should I partition the application by packages?
- advantage:
it allows a fine partitioning
- disadvantages:
it has the great danger that BC4J makes changes in other packages which will be overseen when merging.
Should I create a projects for each developer and distribute code between the projects using libraries?
- advantage: no unseen changes will happen, as the libraries are readonly.
- disadvantages: no view links between view objects in different projects (Libraries) are possible! Also a lot of "load errors" can occure when updating a library, which have to be manually corrected in the dependent projects.
Are source code management systems a real help in this problem or do they just "manage" the problem? I already tried SCM and PVCS but was not very happy with the way of working. As JDeveloper is not "really easy" to use with theese tools.
So I would like to get any hints how other developers are dealing with this problem. Are you using BC4J with JDeveloper 9i in a team? Please tell me how do it and how you have partitioned your application.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I'm not sure whether my answer is good enough for you, but it might help.
First of all, you have to use JDev 9.0.3, because 9.0.2 has big problems with associations/view links between objects in different projects.
Creating a view link between view objects in two packages for example changes the view objects in both packages. Also the project (.jpr) file or several "BC4J.xcfg" files are changed very often.This is not completely true in 9.0.3, as you may choose not to create an accessor in the imported object (and usually you don't need it neither!). As for bc4j.xcfg, there is a trick: define a "standard" database connection name to use all over your project! This will prevent modifying these files all the time!
Should I create a projects for each developer and distribute code between the projects using libraries?
- advantage: no unseen changes will happen, as the libraries are readonly.
- disadvantages: no view links between view objects in different projects (Libraries) are possible! Also a lot of "load errors" can occure when updating a library, which have to be manually corrected in the dependent projects.I would say, projects for each application component, which by chance will be managed by a single developer at a time.
As for the disadvantages, in 9.0.3 you are able to properly create associations and links using read-only objects. Hopefully, the release version will solve some generation inconsistencies...
Concerning the errors that occur when modifying a library, this might be balanced by the relative independence of the components... If you are able to develop following the dependency tree, you will not meet the problem very often.
Are source code management systems a real help in this problem or do they just "manage" the problem? I already tried SCM and PVCS but was not very happy with the way of working. As JDeveloper is not "really easy" to use with theese tools.Indeed, I do not have a SCMS really able to manage merges in the BC4J XML files... We rather try not to arrive there!
So I would like to get any hints how other developers are dealing with this problem. Are you using BC4J with JDeveloper 9i in a team? Please tell me how do it and how you have partitioned your application.I really hope that my hints will help.
Regards,
Adrian

Is it possible to use SOA Suite 11g with JDeveloper's integrated WebLogic?

Is it possible to use SOA Suite 11g with JDeveloper's integrated WebLogic? Or do you have to install an external WebLogic?
Thanks for help.
Edited by: user7722720 on 07-Dec-2011 02:04

Hi
By default, NO it is NOT possible to deploy any SOA Applications on Integrated Weblogic Server that comes with JDeveloper. This integrated weblogic server is very light weight basic weblogic server with single domain (only 1 AdminServer) to deploy a standard J2EE, ADF Applications like EJBs, WebApps, WebServices, ADF Apps etc. BUT SOA (having BPEL, BPMs etc ) cannot be deployed.
There is an option to upgrade this integrated weblogic server and install SOA on top of this. Like download soa installer that matches with your JDeveloper version and install soa on top of this weblogic. BUT I strongly do not recommend this, because you will not be able to upgrade iin future to the latest versions.
Yes, its always better to install the standalone Weblogic Server that matches with your JDeveloper version. Then install SOA on top of this Weblogic Server. Then create RCU Schemas in any Oracle Database. Run config wizard and create a SOA Domain. Now integrate this in your JDeveloper to deploy any soa applications.
Make sure that JDeveloper, Weblogic Server, SOA Software, RCU all these versions should match and they should be same.
Thanks

But still got message - "BUILD SUCCESSFUL" at the end. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
My intention of performing FOD schema installation was to follow the tutorial "Database Development with JDeveloper" at http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/obe/jdev/obe11jdev/ps1/databasedevelopment/obe_%20databasedevmt.htm. But I stopped at the last topic "Creating and Debugging PL/SQL Objects in the Database" ->"Running a SQL Script to Create an Object Type" when trying to create a object using script on the page.
This is the script:
------------------------------------------------start

REM Create object ORDER_ITEMS_REC

show errors;

and the error message I got was
------------------------------------------------start
Error report:

01031. 00000 - "insufficient privileges"
------------------------------------------------end
I was wandering whether the error of FOD installation could cause the error of the tutorial?
Any response will be appreciated.

1. you dont have to insall Oracle database at the BO machine side, you just need any database to hold the BO repository.
2. you cant connect directly using BO, only Crystal reports can connect directly to R3 database, you need to have a BW in between.
extract your data into the BW, and let BO connect to BW using the BO integration kit for SAP solutions.
3. no you dont have to have 3 different machines, using one BO machine you connect to them all, but you may need build a BO environment, (Development, Production servers)
good luck

Exception obtained when invoking a web service generated with JDeveloper

Hello,
I tried to create a synchronous BPEL process that invokes synchronously a Java Web Service created with the JDeveloper. The web service is wrapped around a regular Java class. The new created BPEL process is successfully compiled and deployed on the server. But when I try to initiate a test instance of the process in the BPEL console, after I fill the input parameter for then process and push the "Post XML Message" button, I obtain the following error:
Your test request generated the following exception/fault:
BPEL Fault: {http://oracle.com/cde/util/Top300DAO.wsdl}org.apache.wsif.soap.fault{org.apache.wsif.soap.fault.object=java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect}
I looked at flow and it throws the exception when it tries to invokes the web service generated with JDeveloper.
Do you have any hints, ideas? Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
I want to also say that the proxy settings for the BPEL server and designer are filled. I think that they are ok because I succeeded to start an instance of another process that calls synchronously an external Web Service.
Regards,
Marinel

My guess is that this is caused by the WSDL of your service having an invalid service address. Can you please take a look at the WSDL of your service make sure that the location of the address is valid? (we have seen a couple of instances in the past where the generated url did not have the right port information).
Update that WSDL, restart the BPEL server or from the BPEL console clear the WSDL cache and re-initiate your flow.
Best,
Edwin

How to use CVS with JDeveloper

Hi all!
I'm starting a new project and I would like to know how to use CVS with JDeveloper. This is my first project where I will have two more people working with me and I don't know what the better approach is. Should I use CVS that come with JDeveloper (option Internal to Oracle JDeveloper 10g) or should I configure an external repository? In both cases, I don't know what I have to do to have CVS working properly with JDeveloper. Actually I tried to create a new CVS connection in CVS navigator (using the access method Password Server), but when I test I receive the message: Could not open connection to CVS server: general socket failure, sure I must doing something wrong.
I'm using JDeveloper 10.1.3.0.4
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for you help John!
I installed cvsnt and when I try to create a new CVS connection inside JDeveloper I receive the message: authorization failed: server adminf29786.dixamico.com.br rejected access to /Diversos/DownLoad/CVS/usr/local/cvsroot for user JMartins
I using pserver method and JMartins is my user in windows
There is something that I'm curious about, when I was installing CVSNT I didn't configure any user and password, is there any default user/password?
Thanks!

Business Services development with jDeveloper

We are making use of the Business Services feature in JDE to expose business functions as web services, that's great and working.
we have one problem with jDeveloper during development.
we can create a new business service from OMW in JDE and invoke jDev from there, that's fine.
then we can put codes in the project in jDev, that's fine.
then we can publish the code as J2EE web service, that works as well.
then if we restart jDeveloper after that, the J2EE web service doesn't work in the jDev embeded web server any more.
we always have to delete the web service in the project and go through the same wizard steps to generate the web service again.
it's very annoying when you have more than a handful of web services you want to expose.
and if you use the WSDL in a client project to call this web service, you have to remember to give the web service the same name when re-generating otherwise you have to reimport the WSDL again on client side, it can be another huge pain if the client is Oracle BPEL.
so my question is, why is this happening? is it some settings in jDev that we didn't set right? or is it a bug in jDEv and is there a work around?
thanks in advanced!

Performance issue with Jdeveloper

Hi Guys,
I am experiencing strange performance issue with Jdeveloper 10.1.3.3.0.4157. There are many other threads regarding the performance issue in this forum, but the problem I have is a little bit different.
I have two computers: one is Athlon 3200+ with Vista and another one is P4 dual core 6400 with XP (service pack 2). Both of them have 2GB memory.
I am running the same simple project on both computer, but only the one with Vista has the problem. The problem is very similar to the problem mentioned in the thread:
Re: IDE has become extremely slow?
But it's much worse. It only happens only on JSF pages. Basically, any operations on the JSF pages are very slow. Loading the page, changing the attributes of a button in source editor, or even clicking the items in the design view take forever to run.
The first weird thing is that it may use 100% CPU, but it never recover, which means the 100% CPU usage never stops or when it stops, the Jdeveloper stops responding.
The second weird thing is that the project is not big. Actually, it's very small. The problem started to happen since last week. There are not big changes during the period. The only thing I can say is that we created two more JSF pages.
The third weird thing is that the same project never happened on the P4+XP box. When I open the project on the P4+XP box, it’s always fast and no CPU spike.
Any advises are welcome!
Thanks,
Steven

Hi Guys,
I re-made a simple test project for this problem and now I now always reproduce the problem in JDeveloper on both system (XP & Vista). Everytime I open this jspx file in the source editor and try to scroll up/down the source file, or manually delete an attribute, JDeveloepr will hang and the CPU usage is 0%.

Error after deploying a JSP Application developed with jdeveloper

Hi there
Running Oracle Enterpride Edition 8.1.7
including Oracle Http webserver
I'm trying to run a JSP application developed with Jdeveloper
through the oracle http server included in
Oracle Enterpride Edition 8.1.7
Think I have modified alle the .conf files correctly
I get the message :
"Error Message: java.lang.RuntimeException: JSP Registry could not locate runtime property file:ORDERS_ORDERS_PKG_ORDERS_PKGModule.properties"
Of course I know ,this file should be deployed as well. I have done this.
Any ideas what's wrong ?
Or can anyone point me to a (proper) document that decribes (correctly and completely) alle the steps that need to be done ?
Many Thanxs
Regards TJ

Yep, I had the same problem deploying from JDeveloper 9.3.1, followed:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/howtos/10g/adf_runtime_update_howto.html
and it works! thanks for the clue! (now I only have to find out what ADF is now!)

Can't import to external FW HD from camcorder with iMovieHD

Hi all,
Ever since I upgraded from iLife04 to iLife05, I've had problems importing movies from my camcorder into my PB.
After doing numerous "do this trick" fixes, I finally got it to work reliably... as long as I do not have any other FW connected to the PB!!!
my internal HD is full (don't have free 13G space on my internal HD where I can dump 60min .dv file), so I cannot just keep importing into internal HD without shuffling several Gb worth of files back and forth between the PB and the external. Camcorder is connected to the FW400 port, and the external LaCie drive is connected to teh FW800 port (HD has its own power source, so the FW800 port is not driving current to the external HD. just data connection).
with the FW800 HD connected, iMovie HD croaks upon trying to import movie--usually after about 1second of import, it loses the image even if the camcorder keeps playing. and all the control button stops working. usually requires "kill -9" command from the terminal and a reboot to get iMovieHD working again. Sometimes after about 10min after I hit the iMovie "stop" button, it might finally stop and show "camera not connected". basically, iMovie malfunctions badly.
now, with the exact same setup (FW800 external HD, FW400 camcorder) worked just fine using iLife04/iMovie4. So for now, I've been working around by booting up in a differnet partition with iLife04, import movie, then reboot into the main partition, and edit using iMovieHD. very painful.
any insight on this? is one of my FW ports fried? I've tried different cables, etc.. no luck. I have also checked to make sure the firmware on LaCie is the most recent.
all this happens with various flavors of Tiger OS. haven't tried installing iLife05 on my Panther partition (may be I should try).

Hi,
I'm a UNIX sys admin in other systems (SunOS, HPUX, etc) so UNIX is rather second nature to me. Been using UNIX since '85, Macs since '90 (forced to use Windoze in '97, and hating every moment of it). When MacOS merged with UNIX, I was mighty happy
as for the OS build, I do an archive-and-install prior to OS updates (I usually accumulate two updates before I do archive-install), to wipe out any accumulated garbage that may taint the OS (you dont' want to be doing this with other UNIX OS, but MacOS makes it easy). This is easy for me to do also, since I don't really install any system enhancement apps much so reconfiguring it back to what it was before doesn't take all that much time. Latest update that went through this archive-and-install is to 10.4.5. Haven't installed the latest security updates (there seems to be some weirdness with it, so..).
in any event, this iMovieHD inability to import movies has prevailed from 10.3.9 through 10.4.5... although I've had the most success in getting it mostly working at 10.4.4 level (never could get the import working at all at around 10.4.3)...
Startup partition has approximately 8Gb free (it's a 15Gb startup partition). I looked at the VM allocation prior to partitioning, and it said 5G VM use, so I made sure there will be at least that much available free space after OS install.
I will never use a computer where I don't keep OS and user files in a separate partition, also insist on a secondary OS partition in case the primary fails (so I can still startup the darn thing. this secondary OS partition is very small, since it's only meant to be used for emergency use, and only has applications relevent to recovering data, repair etc). Had enough drive crashes and other problems hwere having separate partition was the only thing that saved me from losing the entire content of the hard drive (and yes.. all the files are periodically updated to my external). Also, makes it easy to do housecleaning (defrag, etc).. since sysOS partition and applications don't get defragmented all that much, only thing I'll have to "keep clean" usually is the user partition.
80Gb internal is plenty large to have good partitioning scheme.
anyway.. I digress...
if it is a matter of having enough swap space on the startup partition to run iApps, then i shouldn't be able to import to any hard drive, internal or external. if the iApps likes to dump temp files in the working directory, then internal (if I can do it) will be working with 13Gb free space while the external has 150Gb free space. again, not the problem..
so the issue is something with the FW use... I guess it's unclear whether this is an OS problemFW hardware problem, iMovieHD problem, or (gasp!) quicktime problem.
