How to add a data-source.xml to the project to config DB connections and to be SCM'ed

I'd like to explicitly manage a data-sources.xml for my JSP + BC4J project.
Any helps on getting the released Jdev to add a data-source.xml that would then
be what the .ear deploys to OC4J?
Thanks, curt

I have a JSP + BC4J project:
So far my naive experiments to explicitely add data-sources.xml to a
project that is picked up by the deploy to .ear step and put in the
root of the .ear have failed.
Is this one of those gaps like the orion-application.xml file, that has no
solution at present?
Or is the back-door via adding an EJB component to my project, then deleting it??
Thanks, curt

How do I edit data source when opening Lumira project on a new PC?

I have been working on a project in Lumira for a client of the company I work for. The idea is that I build the Lumira project for them (with the goal of them being able to analyse data from their logistics department), and I then hand the completed project over to them, from which point they are able to update the data on a weekly basis.
I have been updating the data (which is derived from an excel spreadsheet) for a number of weeks with no issue at all, and the client is thoroughly impressed with it, and with the capabilities of Lumira. The problem is that when I want to share the project with the client, ie. by allowing them to open it and edit it on their own computers I am unable to do so.
This is the procedure I follow:
From My Documents, I open the folder named SAP Lumira Documents, select the project in question, and email it to the intended recipients.
From there, I instruct the recipients to open SAP Lumira, select File>Import to folder, and then select the project.
When the project is open, it works and interacts perfectly, but at this point, I want the client to be able to do the following:Select Data>Edit; to allow them to specify a new data source (which is identical to the one upon which the project is built), and therefore be able to update the data as and when necessary, without my help.
When I do this, however, I receive the following error:
Unable to find file "File Name & Location"
How do I work my way around this? I could rebuild the project on a computer at the client’s premises, but the idea is that many people are able to use this project, and refresh the data. So it is obviously impractical for me to rebuild this multiple times. I would really appreciate your assistance with this.

To elaborate on Tammy's idea, you could use for instance C:\Users\Public at the place where you initially put your Excel file to make sure this is found on the target computer. I would consider this a workaround though.
Or for Lumira documents that you already designed, change the location of the Excel file and use Data/Edit from your computer, then save the Lumira documents before sending them to the target audience.
From my humble opinion, the product should allow to use Data/Edit and change the source file even if the initial file path is no longer found. This should be possible for your target audience.

Problem with embedded data-sources.xml and custom UserManager

Hi all,
Our application uses a custom UserManager, which is basically extended from the JDBC UserManager, declared as follows in orion-application.xml:
     <user-manager class="com.infocorpnow.a2g.security.oracle.A2GUserManager">
          <property name="table" value="pos.users" />
          <property name="userNameField" value="username" />
          <property name="passwordFiled" value="password" />
          <property name="dataSource" value="jdbc/A2GDS" />
          <property name="groupMemberShipTableName" value="pos.user_roles" />
          <property name="groupMemberShipGroupFieldName" value="role_name" />
          <property name="groupMemberShipUserNameFieldName" value="login_id" />
     </user-manager>
Since we want to be able to deploy the application several times on the application server, and therefore have each deployment of the ear point to its own datasource (i.e. its own local "A2GDS"), we've found out how to embed data-sources.xml inside the EAR file we're deploying, and modify the orion-application.xml as follows:
     <data-sources path="./data-sources.xml" />
And then place data-sources.xml in the same meta-inf folder as the orion-application.xml.
This has worked fine when deploying to the standalone OC4J.
Now when I try to deploy the exact same EAR file in Oracle 9iAS, and I get to the User Manager screen, the Custom User Manager does not show up correctly. It did show up prior to me embedding the data-sources.xml. Please help? This is fairly urgent.
Thanks
Jason

I should also mention I'm using the Java Edition of 9iAS R2 (9.0.3 container) on Solaris.

ConnectionCacheName not read from data-sources.xml

I created a simple web application to test the use of the ConnectionCacheBean (from the jdbc 3.0 examples page). I read through the code and some other articles regarding data sources and noted that you "should" be able to set the connection cache name and caching enabled, as well as failover support, even in oc4j 9.0.4 and 10.1.2. I tried this (at least the first two), and it would NOT set the cache name.
The data-sources.xml entry was the same as in the one documented here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/newsletter/articles/oc4j_data_sources/oc4j_ds.htm
What gives?
Also, I tried to simulate the database going down - I killed all the sessions rather than doing a shutdown, but anyway... even with a connection cache property of validatelogin (i think that's the name) to true, and a refresh of invalid connections (they'd all be invalid if I killed them), it would only reactivate ONE SESSION. If I refreshed ALL Sessions, then it would do 9 of the 10 sessions (10 being my initial cache limit).
Any ideas?
I can post the code if that is an issue.

A response I got back from Frances Zhao regarding the two issues that I experienced was:
Issue#1: Cannot set the connectionCacheName via data-sources.xml
1. This is very likely because of an OC4J bug that affects the actual order of
    setting each <property> specified in data-sources.xml. The connection cache
    in OracleDataSource requires the cache-name property be set after the cache
    is enabled; but OC4J may not always follow this order, causing the name
    to be null. If you really need the cache name, you have to do it in the code
    for now.
Issue#2: Can't refresh the invalid connections
2. These are known issues in the Oracle JDBC driver in both 10.1.0.4 and
    10.2.0.1. The fix for the REFRESH_INVALID case will be in the next
    patch release for both 10.1.x and 10.2.x; the fix for the REFRESH_ALL
    case will come later.

How Get JDev to Omit data-sources.xml from every .war deployment

I want a global data-sources.xml file to be used for all deployments. I do not want a copy of my standard data-sources.xml file to be included in every single deployment. I want my global data-sources.xml file to reside in the standard J2EE location of:
oc4j_home/oc4j_instance_name/j2ee/config/data-sources.xml
JDeveloper, for whatever reason, includes a data-sources.xml into every .war file. How do we configure JDev to omit the data-sources.xml? How do we set up JDev to automatically configure the .xml files (orion-application.xml, application.xml, etc) to use the global data-sources.xml? I do not want to manually do this for every deployment.
I've been trying hard to find the answer in JDev online help and other OAS manuals. I read everywhere that I can have a "global" data-sources.xml, but I find no way to easily configure JDeveloper to do it this way.
I would be grateful for you insights/help.
thanks
-Paul Janda

I found the answer:
In JDeveloper, Go to Tools | Preferences
Select Deployment
Uncheck the option for "Bundle default data-sources.xml during deployment"
Upon the next generation of the .ear or .war file (including the next deployment), data-sources.xml will be omitted.

How to prevent data-sources.xml from being included in EAR

I cannot get rid of the data-sources.xml file in my EAR file in the meta-inf folder.
Deselecting the "Bundle Default data-sources.xml during deployment" in my preferences didn't have any effect. I also tried shutting down/restarting JDeveloper just in case it was cached.
I also tried adding an exclude filter for data-sources.xml in my deploy profile for both Web files and WEB-INF/classes.

The way I resolved this was to create the data-sources.xml, right click it, select Properties then uncheck Auto-update data sources.xml. That way it stays empty (hopefully).

How to make JDev leave out data-sources.xml

Greetings
I would like to have jdeveloper leave out data-sources.xml. I have my test server setup with all the data-sources so this isn't needed. All it does is create bunches of data sources on my server then I go in and delete them.
Is there a way somewhere in jdeveloper or my deploy profiles were I can tell it to leave this file out so it just uses the ones I have already setup on the server?
thanks
troy

I think you can control this by going to tool->Embedded OC4J Preferences->Data sourcesI think the original author meant to ask for a way to exclude data-sources.xml when deploying to an external application server.
So far the only way I've found out to work is to manually blank the 'dataSourcesPath' field in "Configure Application" dialog before actual deployment takes place.

How to set JDBC Data Sources in Oracle MapViewer for Oracle database 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.1)

How to set JDBC Data Sources in Oracle MapViewer for Oracle database 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.1)?
The following is my configuration in the conf\mapViewerConfig.xml:
<map_data_source name="mvdemo12"
jdbc_host="127.0.0.1"
jdbc_sid="orcl12c1"
jdbc_port="1522"
jdbc_user="mvdemo"
jdbc_password="7OVl2rJ+hOYxG5T3vKJQb+hW4NPgy9EN"
jdbc_mode="thin"
number_of_mappers="3"
allow_jdbc_theme_based_foi="true"
editable="true"/>

But it does not work.
After use "sqlplus mvdemo/[email protected]:1522/pdborcl", it connected to the Oracle database 12c.
Does anyone know it?
Thanks,

For 11.1.1.7.1 use the syntax for jdbc_sid, i.e.
//mypdb1.foo.com as described in the README,
- MapViewer native (non-container) data sources can now use database service name in place of SID. To supply a db service name, you will use the same jdbc_sid attribute, but specify the service name with double slashes in front, such as follows:
<map_data_source name="myds"
    jdbc_host="foo.com"
    jdbc_sid="//mypdb1.foo.com"
    jdbc_port="1522"
/>
For 11.1.1.7.0 use a container_ds instead.
i.e. instead of using
<map_data_source name="my_12c_test"
                   jdbc_host="mydbinstance"
                   jdbc_sid="pdborcl12c"
                   jdbc_port="1522"
                   jdbc_user="mytestuser"
                   jdbc_password="m2E7T48U3LfRjKwR0YFETQcjNb4gCMLG8/X0KWjO00Q="
                   jdbc_mode="thin"
                   number_of_mappers="6"
                   allow_jdbc_theme_based_foi="false"
                   editable="false"
   />
use
<map_data_source name="my_12c_test"
                   container_ds="jdbc/db12c"
                   number_of_mappers="6"
                   allow_jdbc_theme_based_foi="false"
                   editable="false"
   />
In my case the Glassfish 3.1.2.2 JDBC connection pool definition was
Property
url jdbc:oracle:thin:@mydbinstance:1522/pdborcl12c.rest_of.service.name
Uncheck the Wrap JDBC Objects option in Advanced panel, i.e. the Edit JDBC Connection Pool Advanced properties page.
Add a JDBC resource for that newly created pool
Use that in mapviewerconfig.xml as above

Data-source.xml location

Hi.
I have a web application, so I included the file data-source.xml and orion-application.xml in the project.
If I run the application through JDeveloper every thing is ok.
But if I make a deploy in the server, I get the following error:
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: jdbc/smCoreDS not found
I was checking the ear and war file and I realized that the data-sources and orion-appications.xml were in the war file instead of the ear file.
How can I make to JDeveloper puts the file in the path META-INF in the ear.file instead of in the path WEB-INF\classes\META-INF in the war file
regards

To the web.xml of the web application add
<resource-ref>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/smCoreDS</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>

How to use many data sources

I am accessing the data base in my jsp using the datasource in data-sources.xml. I need to use more number of schema's in my database and I am in need of using more number of datasources.
How to create the datasources ? Is it enough , if I specify my datasource in
the data-sources.xml alone or do I need to make any other changes in the other configuration files.
Thanks.

903/902/BC4J can't get data-sources.xml conn pooling to work in production; help

I have several BC4J ears deployed to a 903 instance of OC4J being configured as a standalone
instance. I've had this problem since I started deploying in development on 902. So it's
some basic problem that I've not mastered.
I can't get data-sources.xml managed connection pooling to actually pool conn's. I'm wanting
to declare my jndi jdbc source connection pool in j2ee/home/config/data-sources.xml.
Have all BC4J apps get conns from this JNDI JDBC pool. I've removed all data-sources.xml from my BC4J ears,
and published the jndi jdbc source in my oc4j common data-sources.xml. I've tested that this is
the place controlling the conn URL/login passwd by commenting it out of config/data-sources.xml
and my BC4J apps then throw exceptions, can't get conn.
I've set the oc4j startup cmd line with the BC4J property to enabled connection pooling:
-Djbo.doconnectionpooling=true
symptom
Connections are created and closed. Instead of being put back into the pool managed by oc4j,
what ever BC4J is doing or my data-sources.xml is doing, the connections are just being created and
closed.
I can verify this via (solaris) lsof and netstat, where I see my oc4j instance under test load
with only 1 or 2 conns to the db box, and the ephemeral port is tumbling, meaning a new socket is
being opened for each conn. ;( grrrrrrr
Does anyone have a clue as to why this is happening?
Thanks, curt

    />
</data-sources>

I've run another test using local data-source.xml, that's packaged in the .ear. Still
pooling under BC4J doesn't work??
A piece of info is that the 903 oc4j release notes states that global conn pooling doesn't
work. Infering that the j2ee/home/config/data-sources.xml data sources aren't pooled or ??
I just tested so called local connection pooling, where I edited the data-sources.xml that
gets packaged in the ear, to include the min/max params and re-ran my test.
Still, the AM creates a new conn, it's to a new socket, and closes the conn when done. Causing
each conn to not be pooled, rather opened then closed to the DB box. As verified with lsof and
netstat, checking the ephemeral port # on the DB box side, always changes, meaning it's a
new socket and not an old pooled conn socket.
???? What the heck??
Surely if the AM conn check out / return code works properly, OC4J's pooling JDBC driver would
pool and not close the socket??
Has anywone gotten JDBC Datasource connections in BC4J to actually be pooled under OC4J??
Since I couldn't get this to work in my early 902 oc4j testing, and now can't get it to work
still under 903 OC4J, either it's my config or BC4J AM's code or OC4J?
Any thoughts on how to figure out what's not configed correctly or has a bug?
Thanks, curt

Data-sources.xml instead of bc4j.xcfg

Please give me some direction on how I can configure my Application Module to use JNDI lookup of my data-sources.xml file instead of using the bc4j.xcfg file. I know there is a way but I need a step by step process to get this done through configuration while developing in the IDE.

Can you please tell how did you solve that. I have similar problem
