OC4J and FOP

Has anyone got FOP working on OC4J? I have compiled the FopServlet that comes with the download. It does not render a PDF just a blank webpage. Maybe someone else has seen this error?
Thanks,
Tom Henricksen

Here's an excerpt from my j2ee/home/config/application.xml file which should give you some idea as to which jars to use
     
     <library path="../../../lib/xsu12.jar" />
     <library path="../../../lib/oraclexsql.jar" />
     <library path="../../../lib/xsqlserializers.jar" />
     <library path="../../../lib/xmlparserv2.jar" />
     <library path="../../../../../../JLib/Apache/fop-0_16_0/fop.jar" />
     <library path="../../../../../../JLib/Apache/fop-0_16_0/lib/w3c.jar" />

OC4J and FOP installation

Hi,
We would like to use the PDF printing of 3.0.1
I am trying to install FOP but I do not have any knowledge in OC4J and Java ... so I am kind a lost right now.
I am following the installation guide of OC4J standalone (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B32110_01/web.1013/b28950/install.htm#BABIBGCA)
I was wondering :
1- do I need to install oc4j standalone in a separate Oracle Home ?
2- There is already an OC4J installed in my db Oracle Home , I guess for emdbconsole. So , I created a new directory called oc4j_sa and unzipped the file. When I start OC4J with oc4j -start , it does not give me the prompt back. Then , I can access the web page with port 8888 (192.168.0.21:8888) , but 192.168.0.21:8888/em fails . So I cannot deploy the FOP war file.
Any pointers or guidance would be great.
Thanks
Francis.
P.S. :
Oracle 10.1.0.5
Oracle Linux (RH 4)

OK, I finally got to the deployment of FOP but now it generates a corrupted PDF.
Are there any log files that I can check ?
I created a new Oracle_home for OC4J and ran "EM" to deploy FOP and everything worked like in the viewlet.
Now I did the setup in APEX and set the following :
Standard Support
Print Server Protocol HTTP
Print Server Host Address 192.168.0.21
Print Server Port 8888
Print Server Script /fop/apex_fop.jsp
I created a sample application to test. In a report , I added the print link.
When I clic Print, the pdf generated is corrupted and does not work.
Thanks
Francis.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Looks like the libraries or at least the Driver class used by FOP is not accessible.
What's in fop.war -- it is fully self contained where the dependent libraries are in web-inf/lib or is it expecting them to be provided outside of the application?
Where'd you get fop.war from, I can take a look and see.

XSLT and FOP in a 1.3 environment

I've just set up a small proof of concept XSLT and FOP engine under the new JVM.
But now I have to translate that back to a 1.3 environment for implementation and production.
There were two things that I noticed. Java 5.0 = simple as hell. Java 1.3 = hunt the apache classes.
Okay, I recognise that with each step forward, Sun is likely to provide their own concrete implementations of functionality we've come to expect since the last release.
Can anyone out there give me a little advice on how to go about setting up XSLT and FOP in a 1.3 environment? I've tried importing a whole range of apache jars and still find I'm short on things like "org.apache.log.Logger".
What is the bare minimum that I need?

I have a feeling that I've been wasting everybody's time...
It was not of course the FOP code that relied on 1.5 as several of you pointed out. The javax transformation packages that were imported into our environment were from the 1.5 when they should have been from the earlier release, hence the StringBuilder hang up.
Having now made sure we have the right code in the right place, gues what; it works.
Apologies for the confused and confusing nature of my posts. If it is any consolation, for whatever reason, building environments within which code should run is a personal bugbear and the one thing likely to make me throw my hands up in despair.
Thanks anyway. I'll distribute some dollars on no particular basis.

You cannot use Internet Explorer on Windows Vista to run Web Forms.
<p>But you CAN run web forms through Netscape or Firefox. But you first need to disable Java in the browser.
<p>And to run OC4J on Vista, you need to set its compatibility mode to Windows XP.

Report display is different in report builder, local oc4j and app server

Hi guys,
we upgrade reports from sql report writer into report 10g. In the report 10g builder,
the report format looks fine. but if i use the url as below
http://applicationserver/reports/rwservlet?report=test.rdf&userid=username/password@service&desformat=pdf&destype=cache
so the format will be mess up whatever i use this url in my local oc4j or i deployed it into 10g application server. and the format is different in oc4j and application server. Why this issue happend?
Thanks in advance,
Appcat

Hello,
They are a Fix Pack higher than you which may explain why it's broken on their server.
Download the Fix Pack for R2 and see if you can duplicate the issue.

How to make OC4J and IIS on diffrent machines ?

Hi,
How to make OC4J and IIS running diffrent machines. following document tells use "standalone ONS daemon",Can anybody tell what standalone ONS daemon means and steps to be done to make IIS working on diffrent machine
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25221_03/web.1013/b25211/oc4jplugin.htm#i638738
Thanks & Regards
Vino joy

sender,
the quantize menu is in the top info box in the arrange.
if you double click on it, an extended parameter box appears with a lot of quantizing options. also RTFM about this bit.
in the sample editor, there is an audio quantize feature.
but it is old, and probably hasn't been updated in ten years........try it, you
'll prolly hate it.
there is also a quantize audio/groove plug, in the special menu.
it works....sorta.
if you're talkin' drums, on seperate tracks, like kik on one, and snr on the next, etc., try strip silence to cut the loop/file up, then select same in the arrange trk and quantize this, as above. (info box).
this does work well provided you know just where you want the feel to be.
you could also try making a groove template of the original clip/loop and use this as a timing reference.
this also works well if you can get a clean footprint of the audio.
best,
DR9

How to: XDK10 and FOP 20.5 - this works

Hi All
Let me share with you all how to get XDK 10 and FOP 20.5 working. Below are all the versions of files that you require:
XDK 10
I use all the .jar files from the /lib directory
FOP 20.5
fop.jar
avalon-framework-cvs-20020806.jar
batik.jar
xalan-2.4.1.jar
xercesImpl-2.2.1.jar
The next thing is that I rewrote the xsqlserializer.jar file and here is the code:
package oracle.xml.xsql.serializers;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.apache.fop.messaging.MessageHandler;
import oracle.xml.xsql.XSQLPageRequest;
import oracle.xml.xsql.XSQLDocumentSerializer;
import org.apache.fop.apps.Driver;
import org.apache.avalon.framework.logger.Logger;
import org.apache.avalon.framework.logger.ConsoleLogger;
* Tested with the FOP 0.20.3RC release from 19-Jan-2002
public class XSQLFOPSerializer implements XSQLDocumentSerializer {
private static final String PDFMIME = "application/pdf";
public void serialize(Document doc, XSQLPageRequest env) throws Throwable {
try {
// First make sure we can load the driver
Driver FOPDriver = new Driver();
// Tell FOP not to spit out any messages by default.
// You can modify this code to create your own FOP Serializer
// that logs the output to one of many different logger targets
// using the Apache LogKit API
Logger logger = new ConsoleLogger(ConsoleLogger.LEVEL_INFO);
MessageHandler.setScreenLogger(logger);
FOPDriver.setLogger(logger);
// Some of FOP's messages appear to still use MessageHandler.
MessageHandler.setOutputMethod(MessageHandler.NONE);
// Then set the content type before getting the reader/
env.setContentType(PDFMIME);
FOPDriver.setOutputStream(env.getOutputStream());
FOPDriver.setRenderer(FOPDriver.RENDER_PDF);
FOPDriver.render(doc);
catch (Exception e) {
// Cannot write PDF output for the error anyway.
// So maybe this stack trace will be useful info
e.printStackTrace(System.err);
The above defnitely works for me and should work for you too. Think of it as an early christmas present.
Best wishes
Richard

Hi, richardgossow
I used the similar code as yours and it worked in Jdev10.1.3.0.0 and ias 10.1.3.1.for FOP 0.20.5.
WhenI upgrade my Jdev from 10.1.3.0.0. to 10.1.3.3.0.4517, it still worked in Jdeveloper.
However, when I deployed the latter to ias 10.1.3.1 on Windows (64bit), it failed with
Oracle XML Developers Kit 10.1.3.1.0 - Production
XML-25022: Cannot load serializer class
Do you and anyone know why?

How Standalone OC4J and the Oracle Application Server linked to each other

Hi ,
Please let me know what is the relation between a Standalone OC4J and the Oracle Application Server ?
In my application The Oracle Application Server is installed in C drive and there is a Stand alone oC4j .
Please tell me how they are linked to each other .
Thank you .

It depends on your need and what features and functionality of Oracle Application Server you are interested in. Note that OC4J is a component of Oracle Application Server that can run as a standalone component or within Oracle Application Server. Question #6 in earlier mentioned FAQ document states:
OC4J standalone is J2EE 1.3 compatible (1.4 and 1.5 too in later releases of OC4J) and is able to be used in both development and small scale production environments. OC4J standalone provides its own inbuilt HTTP/S listener to allow clients to execute Web applications that it has deployed. Application deployment and server configuration of OC4J standalone is performed by the manual editing of a simple set of XML files.
For large scale enterprise deployments, the Oracle Application Server product is likely to be more suitable with its comprehensive feature set including Oracle HTTP Server, process monitoring and management capabilities, and its configuration and management console.
So if you are happy with what you see in standalone OC4J and scalability isn't an issue for you, you can stay with standalone OC4J and don't need to move to Oracle Application Server.
PS: If you do decide to use OC4J that's embedded with Oracle Application Server, you can't move your standalone OC4J inside Oracle Application Server. You will have to reconfigure embedded OC4J again (as you might have done with standalone OC4J) and redeploy your applications.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Is the Lastest OC4J and AS9i work with oracle 8i ?

Hi, a quick question:
Is the lastest OC4J and Oracle AS9i works/compatible with Oracle 8i?

Yes, you can use OC4J and Oracle9iAS with Oracle8i also.

Standalone oc4j and oracle 9i database on the same windows xp machine

I m trying to deploy my j2ee application in my local system using standalone oc4j container(Oracle Containers for J2EE 10g (10.1.3.1)).To configure OC4j,I had to mention ORACLE_HOME=d:\oc4j as a user defined env variable.after that the oc4j started running normally.then i installed oracle 9i database in the same system to use it as the database for the application.During installation it prompts that ORACLE_HOME is alredady set.However the installation completes successfully.But when i try opening sql plus,it throws and error asking to check oracle_home.Its only after changing oracle home to d:\oracle,that sql plus opened and i could log in to it.But after that oc4j would not run saying it cannot find relevant files.Is it not possible to have standalone oc4j and a database for a J2ee application on the same system.if its possible,how can we go ahead?Thanks in advance

user549113,
Problem with ORACLE_HOME has been discussed several times already in this forum. I suggest you search the forum archives for "ORACLE_HOME".
Good Luck,
Avi.

OC4J and login failure

'Install' the embedded OC4J in JDev9i (<Jdev9i_HOME>\j2ee\home) and assign an administrative password of admin.
Deployment from JDev9i works with no issue - URL uses port 8888.
Problem is when shutdown machine and come back in I have to go back and reinstall the embedded OC4J. It seems to lose
the fact that it was installed and had a password of admin.
What gives - Thanks - Ken Cooper

First of all i had the exact same problem for few weeks ago.
I was advised to download the Oracle9iAS Containers for J2EE Standalone ( http://technet.oracle.com/software/products/ias/devuse.html )
then make own oc4j directory and install this version. This will work!
Note that if you work with bc4j you need to adjust your configuration
according to this doc:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev/htdocs/bc4j9ioc4j.html
and do the configuration manually.
You will never have to reinstall oc4j and if for any reason the oc4j does not work properly, you can simply delete the oc4j directory and setup a clean one.
succes!

OC4J and JDK version compatibility

Does anyone know if OC4J 1.0.2.2.1 is certified to work with JDK1.3.1?
The reason being :
1. We have a situation where the CPU gets full frequently because of OC4J.
2. When OC4J is recycled the app works fine. App uses JSP, servlets and JDBC connection to Oracle 8.1.7
3. Is there any way to find if OC4J 1.0.2.2.1 is not supposed to be used with JDK1.3.1?
Finally, is there any URL that provides this information so that I can check the same with later versions of OC4J and JDK?
Thanks,

OC4J 1.0.2.2.1 is not certified with 1.3.1.x. Certification information should be available in http://metalink.oracle.com. You should have a CSI to get into Metalink.
thanks

OC4J and OracleAQ

I've developed an EJB to use in OC4J. This EJB tries to access a Queue in an Oracle8i Database, but i always get an error, saying the connection is invalid. The same code executing as a normal Java Class works fine. Is there any problem with OC4J and oracleAQ?

I have successfully used AQ with OC4J. I have 2 beans where one bean writes to the queue and another bean reads from the queue. As far as connection is concerned, when you move the EJBs from JServer to OC4J, you can't use the KPRB driver. You can use either Thin/Thick driver. May be you could check that.

OC4J and HTTP?

Hi,
I am curious if someone might be able to shed some
light for me on this problem? I need to first run a
servlet on OC4J and then I want to pass some
data from that to an HTTP mod pl/sql instance
and I want both to run HTTPS. How would I go about
configuring what I want to do? Run OC4J on port 80
and then pass it over to Apache?
TIA

I opened an enhancement request at metalink for this issue
