OC4J Problem

Question

Hello
I have created Servlet Application.
Now when i run JDeveloper and run the BIController (by default it starts OC4J i.e. :-
Starting OC4J using the following ports: HTTP=8988, RMI=23891, JMS=9227.]
D:\jdev\jdk\bin\javaw.exe -ojvm -classpath D:\jdev\j2ee\home\oc4j.jar;D:\jdev\jdev\lib\jdev-oc4j.jar -Doc4j.userThreads=true -Xverify:none -Doracle.j2ee.dont.use.memory.archive=true -Doracle.j2ee.http.socket.timeout=500 com.evermind.server.OC4JServer -config D:\jdev\jdev\system9.0.3.4.1247\oc4j-config\server.xml
[waiting for the server to complete its initialization...]
Ready message received from Oc4jNotifier.
Embedded OC4J startup time: 17109 ms.
Target URL -- http://192.168.1.243:8988/Proj-Workspace-Profitable-Products-context-root/mypackage1.BIController1
Oracle9iAS (9.0.3.0.0) Containers for J2EE initialized
When this is done clients can access through browser using url: -
http://192.168.1.243:8988/Proj-Workspace-Profitable-Products-context-root/mypackage1.BIController1
I want that client can access this in a scenarion that i don't have to run JDeveloper (OC4J)
Plz some one tell me that how to run embedded OC4J without JDevloper with configuration same as in JDeveloper i.e.
Starting OC4J using the following ports: HTTP=8988, RMI=23891, JMS=9227.]
D:\jdev\jdk\bin\javaw.exe -ojvm -classpath D:\jdev\j2ee\home\oc4j.jar;D:\jdev\jdev\lib\jdev-oc4j.jar -Doc4j.userThreads=true -Xverify:none -Doracle.j2ee.dont.use.memory.archive=true -Doracle.j2ee.http.socket.timeout=500 com.evermind.server.OC4JServer -config D:\jdev\jdev\system9.0.3.4.1247\oc4j-config\server.xml
[waiting for the server to complete its initialization...]

In simple words i want to do all that (above) without opening Jdeveloper so that clients can access through browser. (Note:- i don't want to deploy it to application server or to any other tech,.....)

hi
usually the application is deployed to an application server, please note that the oc4j itself is intended only for development purpose and not ment for a production system. this is because it lacks the clustering/failover/etc features
if you want to try the "deployment", here is what you can do:
either download the oc4j (just for testing) or use the one supplied with jdeveloper.
if using the one from jdeveloper do the following (assuming you run under windows):
open a dos prompt and set the path the following way:
set path=YOUR_JDEV_HOME\jdk\bin;%PATH%
cd YOUR_JDEV_HOME\j2ee\home
java -jar oc4j.jar -install
you now get prompted for the admin password
start your oc4j:
java -jar oc4j.jar
o)afterwards, create a "deployment profile" within your project
o)put all the files together
o)create a new delopyment connection (oc4j standalone) and deploy it to your recently configured oc4j
o) thats it
note: i recommend you tune the deployment profile and change the name of your webapp and the context as well
"Proj-Workspace-Profitable-Products-context-root" isnt very fancy ;)
