Can't Load 3rd Party JDBC in iPlanet Application Server

I am trying to use a 3rd Party Type 4 Oracle JDBC driver to connect to a database in iPlanet Application Server 6.0 SP3. I used the jdbcsetup.exe tool to register the driver and used the iAS Administrative Tool to Register the Datasource.
External JDBC Driver Parameters:
Driver Type: OracleConnectionPoolDataSource
Driver Classname: oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleConnectionPoolDataSource
Driver Classpath: c:\src\jdbc\lib\classes111.zip
DataSource Registration Parameters:
JNDI Name: OracleConnectionPoolDataSource
DriverType: OracleConnectionPoolDataSource
DatabaseURL: jdbc:oracle:thin:@decipher:1521:csi
Code to Access datasource (Note: dsName=OracleConnectionPoolDataSource):
try {
// Define JNDI InitialContext object.
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("jdbc/" + dsName);
dbConn = ds.getConnection();
//requires all sql Statements to be manually commit(ed)
dbConn.setAutoCommit(false);
if(dbConn!=null)
System.out.println("Getting a connection from dds.");

I'm sorry but I'm not an expert......

So my path for driver is "/servers/jdbc/classes12.zip (or wath is contains).
In classpath variable in iasenv.ksh I put /servers/jdbc but it doesn't work.
I tried with /servers/jdbc/oracle/driver.....the same
Can you help me again
Thank you very much!

Deploying war file on iplanet application server 6.5

Hi ,
We are trying to deploy WebObjects application on Iplanet Application server server 6.5.
Steps we tried for deployment :
1) War file generated by WebObjects.
2) Started IPlanet Application server.
3) Opened the War file in the deployment tool.
4) Verified that the WAR file to be deployed using the verify option in the deployment tool(Verified successfully)
5) We tried to save the archive, then it throws an error saying "
"Invalid entry compressed size (expected 52 bytes but got 51 bytes)".
We ignored this message and proceeded further by clicking on OK.
6) Deployed the WAR file using the deploy option
7) In the deploy message box, it diplays that the application was deployed successfully.
Then we tried to access the application by trying the following url : " http://localhost/NASApp/<CONTEXT NAME>/WebObjects/<APPLICATION NAME>"
(eg : http://localhost/NASApp/SampleApplication/WebObjects/SampleApplication.woa>)
We are getting the error saying that " GXError". We are not sure whether the the above mentioned url is the correct way to access the application !
What we think the problem in deployment is
i) because of error while saving the WAR file (Invalid entry compressed size (expected 52 bytes but got 51 bytes)
ii) URL not appropriate
Other observations :
We tried to deploy to deploy sample application on Iplanet Application server. All these sample applications are deployed properly without the above mentioned error message. All these application are accessed by typing following url : " http:localhost/NASApp/<CONTEXT NAME>/<APPLICATION NAME>". IN all the sample application, url contains "NASApp" . We are not sure what this stand for and maps to. What we assumed is that it maps to the the iplanet app document root i.e "installedroot/ias6/ias/App"
The exception throw while saving the WAR file is " com.iplanet.ias.tools.buzz.util.ArchiveHandlerException"
Has any body who has tried this can help us?
Thanks,
Raju and Venkatesh

Hi,
First of all the application you are trying is from a WebObjects application server. I don't know how they package the modules and what is the format/file structure. I just went to their site, though they say that the WebObjects applications can be deploy on any J2EE Application server but still how they package and how they write the xml descriptors is not known.
Looking at your exception it seem that first it is something to do the war/jar archive file compression thing (as the deployment tool is not able to read the complete file) then comes the deployment descriptors.
I tried to get a few sample application from their site but I couldn't fine any, it will be great help if you can provide a WebObjects sample app to me (mail it to [email protected]).
Regarding the NASApp string in URL, it has nothing to do with document root of iAS and also installedroot/ias6/ias/APPS dir is not the document root of iPlanet app server, this is the place where it save/explodes all the archives (ear).
See iPlanet App server don't have any HTTP daemon to listen to the HTTP requests, so it needs a web server with a plugin (web connector) to forward the HTTP requests meant for iAS, and this NASApp string in the URL is the key to that.
All the URLs are first send to the iAS plugin (as configured in web server's obj.conf file) and plugin look for this NASApp string (configurable), if it is there in the URL then it converts the HTTP request and send it to iAS over a proprietary protocol (KCP), otherwise it gives the request as it is to web server to process it.
The NASApp string is a iAS registry parameter which you can change any time. And generally the context root part of the URL is the war file name (by default). So the typical URL for any web application (MyWeb.war) will be:
http://<host>:<port>/NASApp/MyWeb/<Servlet_name>.
I don't know why that extension "*.woa" is there. So if you send me a sample war file, I will be able to try it out.
Please feel free to ask further questions.

What is different between setup.exe and ezsetup.exe for iPlanet Application server 6.0 SP3?

iPlanet Application server 6.0 SP3 for windows versions.

Hi,
setup.exe has 3 types of installation modes, namely, express, typical and custom. But the ezsetup doesn't asks these questions. The difference between them are..
Setup.exe - Express - Asks fewer questions like, iAS username password, directory server username, password, product key etc
Setup.exe - Typical - Asks for same questions as of Express setup and few more additional questions and allows you to install iAS and use a directory server which is already installed.
Setup.exe - Custom - The most complicated and the highly interactive installation where it requiress 32-33 inputs from the user and fully customisable.
EzSetup.Exe - Doesn't have any sub option, doesn't allow you to use the existing directory server or web server, all it asks is 2 questions..., which directory to install and the product key.
Hope this helps.

Iplanet application server 6.5 on windows xp

I'm trying to install iplanet application server 6.5 on windows xp. but for some reason it just hangs at the end of the install. Leaving my no choice but to quit the instalation. Has anyone sucessfully install 6.5 on xp? and could anyone help? would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance...

I've just spent a day or two mucking around with getting the iPlanet 6.5 Application Server install running with IIS on XP, and have got as far as having the "fortune" application running. I also encountered the "hanging installation" problem on my 5th or 6th reinstallation. Here is my checklist of things to do:
1. As has been pointed out earlier, you must have a static IP address assigned to the machine you are installing on.
2. You should set up IIS before installing iPlanet - during the install you'll be prompted to set up the Web Connector for IIS.
3. If you find that the install hangs at the end (seems to be in the middle of building the Start Menu shortcuts), then deinstall from the Control Panel | Add Remove Software and run the install in Windows 2000 compatibility mode - this article lays out how to start applications in compatibility mode:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/games/expert/durham_og.mspx
4. You need to switch IIS to run in-process as per these instructions:
http://docs.sun.com/source/816-5788-11/app1.html#14411
see the section "Registering the Plug-in on IIS 5.0 running on Windows 2000".
Note that in XP the tab is called "Directory" rather than "Virtual Directory" and ensure that you grant Execute Permission to both Scripts and Executables (default is just Scripts I think)
5. You need to grant security permissions to the registry key
\\local machine\\software\\iplanet\\Appserver\\6.0\\CCS0\\HTTPAPI

URL Rewriting Session ID Length in iPlanet Application Server

Hi there,
Does anyone know what the maximum length of the session ID value is when
using URL rewriting/encoding for session tracking (i.e.: ";jessionid=1234"
appended to the end of the URL) with iPlanet Application Server 6.0's
servlet container (or any previous versions)?
Does the length vary or is it fixed? And does WebSphere encode server or
failover information into the ID? WebLogic for instance, encodes the
primary and secondary failover servers into the ID when running in a
cluster)?
And finally, is there any way to restrict or specify the maximum length of
the session ID?
I ask this due to a limitation with some WAP clients & gateways which
prevents the URL from exceeding 128 characters.
Any info on this issue from iPlanet staff or anyone else is much
appreciated.

Please see the following links if you'd like some additional background:

I'm fairly certain that it is fixed. 18 for the attibute, 16 for the value, plus
1 for the equals. (Plus 1 for the ? if it didn't already exist.)
So 35 or 36 depending on how you count it. Someone needs to verify this and
check my counting though.

the ID. Because of the way session is propogated, no server information needs to
be embedded in the id.

Upload tab-delimited file from the application server to an internal table

Hello SAPients.
I'm using OPEN DATASET..., READ DATASET..., CLOSE DATASET to upload a file from the application server (SunOS). I'm working with SAP 4.6C. I'm trying to upload a tab-delimited file to an internal table but when I try load it the fields are not correctly separated, in fact, they are all misplaced and the table shows '#' where supposedly there was a tab.
I tried to SPLIT the line using as separator a variable with reference to CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB but for some reason that class doesn't exist in my system.
Do you know what I'm doing wrong? or Do you know a better method to upload a tab-delimited file into an internal table?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Try:
REPORT ztest MESSAGE-ID 00.

Can iDSIE (Meta-directory) be used as a single authentication point from iPlanet Web Server for multiple databases using direct "or" indirect connectors?

Basically, the latest release of iPlanet Web Server forces the user/group information source to be an LDAP database. Currently, the user accounts are in Active Directory, NT, Oracle and NetWare Directory Service in this heterogeneous environment.
What I am looking for is a meta-directory product which can do two things:
1-Single authentiation point for users in mulitple databases from iPlanet Web Server.
2-Single administration point for all of the databases listed above.
For example, can I add/modify/delete a user account at the meta-directory level and have this propagate to all of the databases listed above reducing the administration to one meta-directory product?

With an Virtual Directory solution, you can authenticate Iplanet Web Server against nearly anything including any LDAPv3 Directory Server, Microsoft Active Directory, Windows NT Domains, Oracle RDBMS, IBM DB2 RDBMS, Microsoft SQL, and others.
All of this is done dynamically and doesn't require any heavyweight synchronization process. The Virtual Directory acts as a dynamic schema / DIT / data translation engine for different types of repositories.
OctetString's Virtual Directory Engine is one such example. You can download a 30 day evaluation copy at:
http://www.octetstring.com
It will take you all of 30 minutes to get iPlanet Web Server authenticated against and using groups from things like Oracle RDBMS, Windows NT Domains, or Active Directory.

Context lookup problem in iplanet application server 6.0 sp3?

Hi all,
I am writing codes in the following enviornment, iplanet application server 6.0 sp3 with iplanet web server 4.1 sp7 in Window 2000.
When I tried to login to the system, error occured when i try to lookup context for my session bean.
The error message is as follows:
login_process.jsp: Home / Remote Error:String index out of range: -7
[10/Apr/2002 18:09:10:5] error: Exception: SERVLET-execution_failed: Error in ex

could anyone suggest a method to solve the problem?
Thx very much!

There is a major security breach in authenticating
iPlanet Web Server 6.0 SP3 and SP4 using Sun ONE
Directory Server. Using a valid user id, any
password except null string would allow user access
the restricted resources. iPlanet Web Server 6.0 SP5
and 4.1 SP12 worked fine with similar configuration.Did you get an answer for this?
We are having the exact same problems with our iPlanet Web server 6.0 SP3.
thank you.

Calling EJB deployed on Weblogic 10.3 from WebSphere Application Server 6

Hi,
We are trying to call an EJB(2.1) deployed in Weblogic 10.3 from WebSphere Application Server 6.
The problem is that the jars containing Weblogic's initial context factory are compiled with JDK5. (Client jar was built as per [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15051_01/wls/docs103/client/jarbuilder.html] .)
WebSphere is still running on JDK1.4.
Therefore when trying to get the InitialContext to lookup up the bean we get major/minor version errors because of the compiler level mismatch.
Has anyone faced a scenario like this and come up with a solution?
Are there 1.4 jars for Weblogic 10.3 out there?
Any help?
Thanks

Hi Dan,
Yes I am using EJB 3. I saw this thread earlier also but :
1. In my case I am not calling the EJB 3.0 methods directly. I am using a java client (Cataloged as a Java Class Library) which does the lookup and calls the EJB methods. (I am not cataloging and calling the EJB 3.0 methods directly).
2. It is working perfectly fine when the EJB is deployed in Weblogic 10.0 or 10.2.
I am very much new to this so please bear with my small and silly questions! Thanks a lot for you help !
Cheers !

IPlanet Application Server 6.0 Service Pack 3 Test Drive

Hi,
We are trying to port an existing web-app (runs on WebLogic and JBoss)
to the iPlanet Application Server platform.
We can deploy our app, but cannot access it once it is deployed.
Is the iPlanet Application Server 6.0 Service Pack 3 Test Drive "cripple
ware" or is it a fully functioning trial which allows you deploy new
apps to it?
Thank You,
Eric Kahler

Hello,
If the issue is looking up the bean and you are looking up the bean as you
would with JBoss or BEA:
String beanName = "Bean";
ctx = InitialContext();
ctx.lookup( beanName );
then you might have the problem there. Atleast this is what we have found
with beans needing to be convered. Change the lookup to be ctx.lookup
("ejb/" + beanName ); and you might be better. I haven't tried it on JBoss
or Bean but ctx.lookup( "java:comp/env/ejb/" + beanName) might work on all
the different app servers
