Intergrate Apex with R12 , How to Extend Oracle EBS with Oracle Apex

Question

Question out to the experts. I am looking for the easiet way to launch an Apex Application from EBS, we are currently on 12.1.3 (EBS) and 3.2 (Apex, we will be updgrading here shortly). We would like to create a responsibilty in EBS , when click upon it brings up our application and login screen. We are using an LDAP authentacation and will build a custom authorization scheme using the launching responsibility from EBS as the gate keeper.
Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated

Sure , i have a couple of questions
You posted a link to follow but it brings me to several discussion threads. I am using the .pdf by Rod West from Cabot Consulting (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/apex-ebs-wp-cabot-consulting-169064.pdf). To try to set up the ability to launch apex via a responsibilty in R12 specifically 12.1.3. There are a couple of steps that i have questions about.
With the E-Business Suite R12 this is achieved by creating a custom jsp in the $OA_HTML
directory on the server. An example is shown in the LaunchApex.jsp shown in Figure 9. The jsp
assumes that /pls/apex is the APEX DAD and that there is a custom system profile
***** First Question for step below
(APEX_HTTP_SERVER) containing details of the Oracle HTTP Server used by APEX.
?? What type of information are we supposed to setup here? I am assuming this is done under application developer via EBS but not sure what we are suppose to enter?
This is referring to a custom system profile that you need to create using Application Developer responsibility and populate the site level with the HTTP server URL you are using for APEX - see {thread:id=2273624} for an example

The jsp can be compiled using the command shown in Figure 8 (See metalink notes 215268.1 and
458338.1).
******* Second Question
??? The command below in Figure 8 does not work, i get a cannot find ojspCompile.pl error , also the metalink notes enclosed seem to talk about a different issue?
Figure 8
export PATH=$PATH:$FND_TOP/patch/115/bin
ojspCompile.pl compile -s 'LaunchApex.jsp ' retr
I believe this is a typo - there is a space between "jsp" the single end-quote, which should not be present. Try the command without the space.

In the end all I am trying to do initially is get apex to launch via an EBS responsibility (NO SSO initially) , i had this working in 11i but not with r12 i have having some difficulties. Apex is running and working on the db , so we know the application is viable , just trying to work on a different launching mechanism
Thanks again for taking out the time.. Hopefully with your help we can get this up and running
