Libraries for admin_client.jar

I'm trying to run admin_client.jar on RHES (Linux) using the command in the OC4J config guide but using gij -jar instead of java -jar. I am getting NoClassDefFoundError for oracle.oc4j.admin.deploy.cmdline.Oc4jAdminCmdline
I've tried setting my CLASSPATH and JAVA_PATH to include all the directories for jar files that were listed for the remote client download (see below). Any other ideas?
paths (actual path listing includes the OAS home as well):
/j2ee, /j2ee/home, /j2ee/home/lib, /lib, /opmn, /jlib

Not sure what you are trying to do and why you would use gij, as only specific JDKs are certified for use:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/oracle_soa_certification_101310.html
In my case this syntax works:
java -jar /u03/app/oracle/product/as1013/j2ee/home/admin_client.jar deployer:oc4j:opmn://osupport:6003/Ourapplication oc4jadmin pa55w0rd -redeploy -file /home/osupport/tmp/Ourapplication.ear -deploymentName Ourapplication -bindAllWebApps-bindAllWebApps default-web-site

Developer access for admin_client.jar in 10.1.3.1

I would like our developers to be able to deploy their applications to OAS 10.1.3.1 on Solaris via command line. They already have an administrator login for OAS.
It appears that the default permissions for admin_client.jar is 750 meaning that only those in the dba group have read/execute access to this jar by default.
So my question is: What is the typical supported method for allowing developers to deploy their applications via command line?
Do you simply open permissions on the jar and that's fine?
Do you install the remote client administration tool and open permissions on that?
I know that they can deploy very easily in JDeveloper, but many developers here are using eclipse instead, and we may also want to automate the deployment into our build scripts, so I'd like to know how to open the access up to do this via OAS CLI utilities.
Let me know what you all are doing out there for your developers and how this is intended to be used by those that are not DBAs.
Thanks!
Tony

OK, in case anyone else had the same issues, here is what I ended up doing to resolve the issue:
Basically I created a new unix group for those I wished to have access to admin_client.jar util and layed down the oc4j remote administration zip with that user.
In our env the steps looked like this:
1. Create Group oc4jadm
2. Create User oc4jinst (group oc4jadm)
3. Add all users that will deploy apps to the oc4jadm group
4. Unzip the remote client with oc4jinst user
5. All files are now accessible by the oc4jadm group
6. Test admin_client.jar with normal user in the oc4jadm group
7. Everything works great.
This way I could install OAS 10.1.3.1 with the oracle user and dba group like normal and not have to dig around and haphazardly grant access to the various dirs and files required by the admin_client.jar. Everything required is bundled up in the remote admin client zip and it may be installed with a user other than oracle without issue. Plus it has the added bonus of working remote servers in case you don't want your developers accessing the server on which the OAS itself resides.
HTH,
Tony

Third party libraries for hibernate(jar files)

Hi I am new in hibernate.I follow some steps of hibernate tutorial from

Admin_client.jar - connect to a remote standalone oc4j instance

Hi
I have installed a standalone instance of OC4J on a remote linux box. I am trying to connect to that running instance on a windows box using the admin client jar supplied in the oc4j_admin_client_101310.zip file but get the following error -
Failed at "Could not get DeploymentManager".
I am able to connect to a remote OPMN managed instance and a local standalone instance but not to the remote standalone instance. I know the remote instance is ok as i have logged in and validated the URI using the admin_client.jar on that box. The URI format i am using is as follows -
deployer:oc4j:host:23791
Is it possible to connect to this instance remotely?
Thanks
George

Hey George -- admin_client.jar can connect to local/remote OC4J standalone instances -- it connects to all sorts of things in 10.1.3.
The "could not get deployment manager" message is very vague, I certainly appreciate that.
What it usually comes down to is the deployer URI being incorrect in either the format being used or the host:port being incorrect.
Sounds like you have validated the URL correctly.
Just as a sanity check -- you can ping the remote server from the windows box?
The oc4j standalone instance is up and running?
The ORMI port is 23791?
What you could do if you want to see if there is an underlying problem is to enable the client side logger for admin_client.jar.
The doc describes it here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/web.1013/b28950/adminclient.htm#CHDHIABJ
Set it progressively to the FINE, FINER, FINEST levels and see if anything suspicious is identified in the log outputs that might be helpful.
Let me know how it goes.

Difference between admin.jar and admin_client.jar

OC4J provide two commad-line utility: admin.jar and admin_client.jar for performing configuration tasks on OC4J. admin_client.jar can work in Oracle Application Server clustered environment as well as on a standalone OC4J server, but admin.jar only works in a standalone OC4J installation. Do they have any other difference?
If used in a standalone OC4J installation, are they the same?

The documentation on the OC4J management tools covers this to some degree:
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B32110_01/web.1013/b28950/admin.htm#CEGHHGGB
In a nutshell
1. admin.jar is the old command line utility we kept in the release for backwards compatibility. It uses a set of internal/proprietrary APIs to work against OC4J. It works only against OC4J standalone.
2. admin_client.jar is a new command line utility that is based on JMX and its associated set of specifications to manage and deploy to a J2EE container. It can connect to and manage all variants of OC4J -- standalone, single AS instance, clustered AS instance. It has many more resource configuration options added to it. For simplicity, we maintained the "feel" of admin.jar so the command structure is very similar to what was provided in admin.jar, but the way it works is completely different under the covers.
While admin.jar still works and is supported, you should use admin_client.jar whenever you want to do command line operations with 10.1.3.x. I was considering putting a note to that effect on stdout whenever admin.jar was used, but we didn't end up doing it.
Another two nice aspects about admin_client.jar are
1. The common library it uses to perform its operations is also used by the Oracle Ant tasks -- so in effect there are two faces to it -- admin_client.jar and Ant tasks. There's a near 100% compatibility between the two meaning what you can do with admin_client.jar you can most likely do with a set of Ant tasks from a development environment.
2. We have isolated the dependencies for admin_client.jar and produced a separate, small distribution called oc4j_admin_client.zip (which is 6MB from memory) that can be unzipped onto any remote server and you have the full admin_client.jar utility -- meaning that to perform administration options against ant of the OC4J variants (standalone, single and clustered AS instance) you only need this one, very small distribution.

Admin_client jar - add "remove-inherited" for oracle.jdbc shared library

Guys,
I am using admin_client.jar utility which comes oracle 10.1.3 to deploy our web-application on the oc4j server, everythings is working fine, except for this small issue, where i want to avoid having the shared library "oracle.jdbc" inherited by web-module (which is by default inherited by all apps apparently), since i want to use the oracle-jdbc driver bundled with the war. Now i do that the solution is to introduce a "remove-inherited" tag (for the oracle.jdbc library) under the "inherited-shared-libraries" element in the orion-application.xml file (generated on deployment by oc4j), but what i want to know is how to automate this process of adding this entry, since we dont want to have any manual intervention on deployment.
Though admin_client.jar so far has provided all the functionality required for deployment but it apprarently doesnt any way where we can specify the shared-libraries not to be inherited by the deployed war..
Any comments/suggestions ?
Thanks and Regards,

Alright that makes sense.
Yes, spot on. The suggestion I made was contingent on having an EAR file -- even though we accept a WAR file from you, we ultimately produce an EAR file from it during the deployment phase. If you don't want to produce an EAR file then its not viable for you.
Another possible solution is one that you are sort of suggesting here -- each application can be specified as a child of a parent application -- from which it will inherit various libraries and configuration settings.
What you could do is to deploy a single, dedicated application on which you configure the shared-library import to the JDBC driver you want -- and then you simply choose that application as the parent, whereupon the child application will pick up the shared-library setting.
There current, visible parent of all deployed applications is the "default" application. What you could do is to tweak the configuration of the default applicaiton so it uses a different JDBC library to the one it inherits from its actual parent (the system application). The configuration for the default application is contained within the j2ee/home/config/application.xml file -- which if you look at it, is actually an "orion-application.xml" file. So if you make the change there, it will apply to all the applications that are deployed to the container.
Just found it in the doc:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B32110_01/web.1013/b28952/classload.htm#CIHFFBCA
Even easier, what you evaluate is a simpler approach where you install and publish the Oracle JDBC driver you wish to use, with the name "oracle.jdbc" and set it with a higher version (which I assume you are doing) than the deafault one -- whereby from how the config in the application.xml is set and where the oracle.jdbc driver is imported, it should pick up the higher version -- so that way you don't even need to change the config file -- simply publish the later versioned library using the name oracle.jdbc and it should be picked up.
Currently the version in 10.1.3.3 is:
<shared-library name="oracle.jdbc" parent="api" version="10.1.0_2">
So if you published the jdbc driver you want to use with the name oracle.jdbc and a higher version, then the import of oracle.jdbc will default to the latest version, which should pick up your library.
Thus all you need to do is a one-off publishing operation of a new shared-library (oracle.jdbc: 10.1.2.3 for example) and it then should be picked up implicitly by all deployed applications.
Worth testing my theory though ... ;-)

Admin_client.jar 10.1.3.1.0 and changing JVM settings for OC4J in opmn.xml

Just now briefly looked at admin_client.jar 10.1.3.1.0. It appears that there is new functionality to create/alter and interrogate (J2EE) resources in this utility. This partially answers my other question, as stated in Jython support in Oracle Application Server 10g R3 (10.1.3)
(Would be nice to get a definitive answer on scripting though)
Anyway...
As a follow-up question. Will there also be functionality (or is there already functionality) which lets me change JVM settings of OC4J components as they are declared in the opmn.xml, using only command line (and/or scripting) tools?
Thanks

Jan -- there is no out of the box command line utility that can amend the JVM settings for an OC4J instance.
As Deepak alluded to, it is possible to do this using JMX because all the OPMN configuration elements are all reachable from JMX. This means you can create whatever Java JMX client you desire to modify the settings, or use a scripting environment which provides nice support for JMX (for example Groovy with its GroovyMBean) to access and use the OpmnConfig MBean set to change the OPMN configuration values.
Asanka -- the 10.1.3.1 release has lots of capability in ASC to manage the OPMN settings from a browser -- including modifying all the JVM settings (things like heap, System properties, etc.) as well as OC4J switches (-userThreads, etc.)
cheers

Is there a admin_client.jar et all. for OC4J9.0.4.x.x, OC4J10.1.2.x.x ?

I want to deploy a WAR file onto these oldies in one swoop, as is possible with admin_client.jar from the command line.

There's no way to do that with releases prior to 10.1.3.
There is the j2ee\home\admin.jar utility, but it only deploys ear files.
I've seen it done by the wrapping into an ear file with ant then calling admin.jar to deploy it.

Deployment Using admin_client.jar causes edit of system-jazn-data.xml

Greetings,
1. standalone OC4J version 10.1.3.3.0
2. Windows XP platform in a VM
Our automated deployment to a stand alone oc4j causes the system-jazn-data.xml file in the oc4j\j2ee\home\config folder to be overwritten. This process removes the pertinent application-specific login module information required for our JAAS security. Overwriting this file with a known working version followed by a restart of oc4j enables application login. What we would like to learn is how to control the content of the system-jazn-data.xml file during automated deployment with ant scripts using oc4j admin_client.jar. Note that when deployed with JDeveloper, the information in the orion-application.xml file is added back to the system-jazn-data.xml in the oc4j\j2ee\home\config directory and logging in is once again enabled.

Found that jar files were missing from autobuild. This continues to be an issue where libraries are added to WEB-INF\lib in JDeveloper and the individual jar files are needed for an automated build process.

    </target>We complete the automated deployment and all ant tasks succeed, including creation of the connection pool and managed data source. During this process, the existing system-jazn-data.xml file is overwritten and our Application's <login module> information has been deleted. Upon editing this file and adding back the login module data and restarting oc4j, we can login to our application. The framework of the site is present along with graphics, yet every page visited yields a 500 error (jspx +and+ HTML). Since the entire deployment is done from ant, we do not have the capability of specifying a the web-app as development configuration. We need advice on how best to debug the deployed application as well as knowledge regarding the mechanism which causes the system-jazn-data.xml file in the oc4j/j2ee/home/config folder to be modified.

How do I link the javadoc for one jar to another?

I'm starting to work on the javadocs for my project. It consists of three JAR files. The problem is I haven't figured out is how to link the javadoc for one JAR to that for another jar. So if JAR A declares class X and JAR B has class Y extend class X, they need to be linked. But the javadoc output only has plain text there. What am I doing wrong? Something like @see com.u3e.tests.tools.X is output as text, not a link. I have the same problem for any @see pointing to part of the JDK. @see java.lang.Object is text.
My project is NetBeans IDE based. Do I need to manually specify something on the command line? I see the -sourcepath and -classpath command line options, but don't know if those would help or not. Ideally, there would be a place directly in the Documentation portion of the properties for each JAR to list that, but I don't see it. The various JARs are listed under the libraries section as needed to satisfy dependencies.

The best way IMO is to sync each iPad with your computer. Having all your stuff backed up on a computer is a good idea anyway. Just read how many folks here are trying to recover lost stuff that could easily be copied back from either backup or iTunes on the computer.
Sync both iPads to the computer. Transfer all photos to the same computer. Then sync again selecting which items you want on each iPad.

Using admin_client.jar from bash script

Hello,
When I make a call "java -jar admin_client.jar" from a bash script I always get 0 for $? even when there are errors reported in the console. How can I check the status correctly?
S

Greetings,
Can you see the console when running the script? I would try to test something simple like -testDatabaseConnection and you should see a result. If you cannot login the the server directly, pipe the output to a file. Next, build up your bash script with additional complexity as you go. Post the results here for the group to analyze.
