Glassfish with Apex Listener

Something I've noted
My successful URL is:
http://localhost:8080/apex40/
If I type this, without the final slash, I get request is not allowed.
http://localhost:8080/apex40
A note if anyone is confused, I'm not sure if it's a Glassfish setting somewhere.
Scott

We did see this also a fix in in progress and it appears to be specific to how the glassfish is handling the case.

Generate pdf with apex listener 2.0

hi,
we would like to generate pdf out of apex.
as long as we have text (IRR) WITHOUT special characters (öäü), everything is working fine.
when we have this characters in a text-columng (IRR), then we get a .pdf with the following content:
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.utils.WrappedRuntimeException: An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x3) was found in the element content of the document.
could this be a problem of the characterset? but if, where to change what?
- we defined in ADMIN in 'report printing' / 'instance-settings': oracle-apex-listener
- we are working with apex-listener 2.0 (integrated in weblogic-server)
- we work with APEX 4.2.1.00.08
thanks for any ideas

PDF Printing with Apex Listener: XSL over 32k gives error

I'm using Ape Listener 2.0.2 deployed in GlassFish. We do have some custom designed XSL which are over 32k. We tried apex_util api but get the error
Error processing branch. ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
My XML is 5966 bytes and XSL is 36551 bytes.
Please help.

Apples and Oranges really.. Why do you want TWO App Servers running on your server? The HTTP Server requires a 3rd party product to produce PDF files (FOP)... The Apex Listener is the PREFERRED App Server over the HTTP server. I would suggest switching your access to the APEX Listener based port and try shutting down the HTTP server unless it offers you something the Listener is NOT providing..
Thank you,

Thank you very much.1) To not attempt to eat a listener. It is not good for you.
2) Are you sure you are in the right forum for this? (You may be .. but you may well not be) ... if ODD is open developer day the information on passwords is usually in the installation instructions.

APEX Listener for Extranet

Hi,
We've been using Oracle HTTP Server (Apache) for my APEX connections. We're new to APEX Listener and have no knowledge about it.
1. First of all, is Oracle GlassFish Server free? Does it require license cost per CPU like Oracle Weblogic does?
2. We currently have an extranet box that runs Oracle HTTP (actually Oracle HTTP inside Oracle AS 9i). If we need to use APEX Listener, should we install the J2EE Container (Oracle GlassFish) with APEX Listener inside our "Intranet" and only the Oracle HTTP Server in our extranet server? I'm confused about the appropriate method for "extranet" environment.
Thanks.
Andy

Hi Andy,
1. First of all, is Oracle GlassFish Server free? Does it require license cost per CPU like Oracle Weblogic does?As Prabodh already mentioned, there exist two different editions of GlassFish by now: The officially supported Oracle GlassFish Server (with license costs) and GlassFish Server Open Source Edition (free). While you can run APEX Listener on both of these JEE Containers, you will not get any support through MOS when using the latter one.
2. We currently have an extranet box that runs Oracle HTTP (actually Oracle HTTP inside Oracle AS 9i). If we need to use APEX Listener, should we install the J2EE Container (Oracle GlassFish) with APEX Listener inside our "Intranet" and only the Oracle HTTP Server in our extranet server? I'm confused about the appropriate method for "extranet" environment.I'm not sure if this has become clear yet: You don't actually need OHS for APEX if you start using APEX Listener. You can deploy APEX Listener to a GlassFish on your extranet server. It'll connect to the database listener of your APEX instance using JDBC like OHS/mod_plsql did before.
Of course, you could think about adding a security layer to your database by hiding it's listening endpoint from your extranet. To do that, you could deploy APEX Listener in your internal network and let OHS (or a "plain" Apache HTTPD) on your extranet box act as a proxy. That way, you'll have only HTTP or AJP traffic through your firewall (or whatever is in between your internal network and your extranet), but you could close your database port. In that case, it also could be a good idea to let the proxy serve the static contents for APEX ("images") on your extranet box for less traffic on the link between internal network and extranet and especially for better response times towards extranet clients. Of course, if you have internal users for that instance as well, you'll want to deploy the images to the GlassFish as well...

How-to install FOP in Apex Listener 2.0 with glassfish

Hi,
I need to develop a PDF report in APEX 4.2.1. I want to use FOP. My setup is Apex Listener 2.0, Glassfish 3.1.2. According to the documentation, I should be able to use FOP with that setup. But there's no documentation that explain how to install/configure FOP with Apex Listener 2.0

Apex Listener prints ### instead of cyrillic symbols

Hi everybody!
Apex listener (2.0.4/) prints ### insead of cyryllic symbols when printing to PDF from APEX.
In Glassfish log I found next entries:
[2013-10-02T10:31:44.040+0600] [glassfish 4.0] [WARNING] [] [org.apache.fop.apps.FOUserAgent] [tid: _ThreadID=20 _ThreadName=http-listener-1(3)] [timeMillis: 1380688304040] [levelValue: 900] [[

I have tried other fonts (Times-Roman and Courier), but result is the same.
Can anybody answer how to teach Apex Listener to work with cyrillic symbols?
My system is: Windows XP SP3, Glassfish 4, Apex Listener 2.0.4, Apex 4.2.3., Oracle XE 11g.

Finnaly, with help from other forums, solution is found:
1. In defaults.xml add entry:
<entry key="fop.configfile">C:\some_path\fop.xml</entry>
2. In fop.xml:
<fop version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8">
<renderers>
   <renderer mime="application/pdf">
   <filterList>
   <value>flate</value>
   </filterList>
<fonts>
<directory>C:\WINDOWS\FONTS</directory>
<auto-detect/>
</fonts>
   <stroke-text>false</stroke-text>
   </renderer>

Apex Listener commercial license

Hello,
I created applications with Apex and I'm about to install Apex on an other database.
I 'll maybe choose Apex Listener but I don't know if there is a commercial license for it: would my customers have to pay to use an apex application that runs with Apex Listener ??
Thanks.
Fanny

If you use the ORACLE HTTP server (Apache with modplsql), it's free with the database license.
If you use the APEX Listener, you need an App Server. The App Server requires a License.
For APEX, it's licensed with the Database for all version , Standard One, Standard, Enterprise, Express.

APEX Listener

We are planing to use APEX with APEX listener in production site for better security .
Under this circumstances, do we still need to install XMLDB .
If it is, could you please let me know what functionality of XMLDB is required when we are not in EPG mode.

Hi there,
If you do not have XDB installed, then the APEX component will be invalid. Essentially, it is an unsupported installation. If you ever need to call Oracle Support, the first thing they'll ask you to do is make the component valid (by installing XDB).
XDB is used in a number of places in APEX - as an XMLTYPE in collections, parsing of Web Service results, XML data loading and unloading, XLIFF translation file parsing, probably a few more areas that I'm not recalling now.
I hope this helps.

APEX Listener with Free environment

Hi,
I was going through APEX Listener Installation guide and found that the supported installations are
*1) with WebLogic*
*2) Glassfish &*
*3) OC4J*
All of the above are associated with licensing cost. Is there any free installation scenario? As 11gXE is free to store upto 11GB of user data, I was thinking to install it with Glassfish for my small application which is not expected to have 11GB of user data over the next 4-5 years. Today I had a chat with one of the local Oracle Sales guy and I found that licensing cost is huge for Glassfish.
I don't know whether standalone APEX Listener will serve the purpose of having my application available over the internet. Please forgive me; I am a novice in the field of networking.
Could you please provide me the details of the free or low cost alternatives of the above scenarios? One option I know is to go for hosting services for low cost. But to me that is also huge.
Any kind of help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Mehabub

Supported in this context is supported by Oracle in that you can open an SR with support.oracle.com or not.
ApexListener runs on most J2EE Containers. Free ones include GlassFish Community Server and Tomcat. ApexListener runs on GF as well as Tomcat, but you cannot run to Oracle Support if you have an issue. You have to seek help here, on this forum, if you cannot resolve things yourself :(

APEX Listener 1.1.4 install issue with listener configuration

Oracle XE 11gR2
APEX 4.1.1
APEX Listener 1.1.4
Glassfish 3.0.1
=============
Installing APEX Listener 1.1.4 to replace APEX Listener 1.0.2. Deployed apex.war file but now:
(1) http://10.10.1.111:8080/apex/listenerConfigure web page comes up but with no frames/windows rendered, as if it can not find images. Still I can enter data into fields. Wonder why the graphics/images are missing when page is rendered.
(2) after entering Listener connection information for user APEX_PUBLIC_USER, I get "Permission denied". I can connect via SQL Developer to APEX_PUBLIC_USER with same credentials. I was able to connect before with previous APEX Listener.
Any ideas?

Hi,
(1) http://10.10.1.111:8080/apex/listenerConfigure web page comes up but with no frames/windows rendered, as if it can not find images.
You either have to clean your browser cache or your browser is too old/not capable of rendering the css of APEX Listener correctly.
(2) after entering Listener connection information for user APEX_PUBLIC_USER, I get "Permission denied". "Permission denied" doesn't sound an issue with your database configuration. Do you have anything in your APEX Listeners log (probably within your GFs server.log) for that issue?
But perhaps the error disappears as soon as you also get a proper configuration page.

APEX Listener with APEX 3.0 on 11gR2

Yes, I am crazy.
We have many many APEX applications in APEX 3.0 running on a 10.2.0.4 database that needs desperately to be upgraded. As a test, I've set up a clean 11gR2 database and copied the production APEX database into it via datapump. I set up APEX Listener, as I don't have any OAS sitting around and the EPG doesn't seem to be supported for APEX 3.0... the Listener doesn't say one way or the other.
When trying to log in, I get the login page, but it tries to reference files such as apex_get_3_1.js while I only have files such as htmldb_get.js in my images directory in production. I noticed it is looking for what appears to be 3.1 files instead of 3.0 files... which concerns me.
The APEX listener appears to be more than just a Java PL/SQL gateway.
Is there a minimum version of APEX the APEX Listener supports?
Interested in pointers!
Rob

Hi Rob,
Yes, I am crazy.Why would that be? ;)
We have many many APEX applications in APEX 3.0 running on a 10.2.0.4 database that needs desperately to be upgraded. As a test, I've set up a clean 11gR2 database and copied the production APEX database into it via datapump. I set up APEX Listener, as I don't have any OAS sitting around and the EPG doesn't seem to be supported for APEX 3.0... the Listener doesn't say one way or the other.APEX 3.0 is supprted by EPG. See the [url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B32472_01/doc/install.300/b32468/post_inst.htm#CHDBEJDA]APEX 3.0 Installation Guide for details.
APEX Listener is capable of hosting APEX 3.0 as well, though APEX 3.0 wasn't supported anymore when APEX Listener was initially released. The current APEX release at that time was 4.0, so this would be the first version to be known as really stable, whereas you won't get any support for older releases anymore. From personal experience I know that there are now issues with APEX 3.1 and APEX Listener, so it'll probably also work with 3.0.
Concerning your database release, the minimum for APEX Listener is 10.2.0.3, so you're definetly safe on that part, though I'd recommend to upgrade as regular support for 10.2 databases ended.
When trying to log in, I get the login page, but it tries to reference files such as apex_get_3_1.js while I only have files such as htmldb_get.js in my images directory in production. I noticed it is looking for what appears to be 3.1 files instead of 3.0 files... which concerns me.This indicates that your APEX would actually be a 3.1 and you should update you images directory.
The APEX listener appears to be more than just a Java PL/SQL gateway.It is, but this has nothing to do with your 3.1 JS files, if this is why you stated this.
Is there a minimum version of APEX the APEX Listener supports?As mentioned above, 4.0 would be a safe approach, but 3.1 will definetly work, 3.0 probably will as well. I'd recommend you find out which APEX version is actually installed on your database before you consider any upgrade operations. Run the following query as privileged user:
SELECT comp_name, version, status
FROM dba_registry
WHERE comp_id = 'APEX';-Udo
