Once Again, Problems with PDF Output in 3.0

Question

Sorry that i write another thread to this topic. i think i ´ve read all other posts (and oracle documents from oracle) but i can´t find the answer to my problem
there a two things i wondering about:
first: What is the right port (and how can i prove it, which one is used?)
Some write use 8888 , some use the listener Port 1521 ???
second: after copying the fop directory, do i have to use
oc4j -install ?
Bonus Questions :-)
I always get 0 length pdf documents. Is there a logfile, where i can look in?
At my first try i put the 3 lines at the of the file application.xml, but i got an error
now i use this :
<library path="../../../j2ee/fop-0.20.5/build/fop.jar"/>
<library path="../../../j2ee/fop-0.20.5/lib/batik.jar"/>
<library path="../../../j2ee/fop-0.20.5/lib/avalon-framework-cvs-20020806.jar" />
</orion-application>#
Is this the right position?
Thanks

Hi Marco,
First: What is the right port (and how can i prove it, which one is used?)In your OC4J configuration there will be a line which specifies which port should be used. To check which port it is try doing this -
[jes@db j2ee]$ grep "port=" home/config/http-web-site.xml
<web-site host="localhost" port="8888"
<web-site port="8888" display-name="Oracle9iAS Containers for J2EE HTTP Web Site">
    <!-- <frontend host="your_host_name" port="80" /> -->I ran that command whilst in the j2ee directory, you can see the output I got (3 lines), so in my case it is running on port 8888 (the third line is actually commented out).
To check if the port is actually listening, try this -
[root@db root]# lsof -i:8888
COMMAND  PID USER   FD   TYPE  DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
java    9047 root   14u  IPv4 5133190       TCP *:8888 (LISTEN)
java    9048 root   14u  IPv4 5133190       TCP *:8888 (LISTEN)
java    9049 root   14u  IPv4 5133190       TCP *:8888 (LISTEN)
java    9050 root   14u  IPv4 5133190       TCP *:8888 (LISTEN)
java    9051 root   14u  IPv4 5133190       TCP *:8888 (LISTEN)
java    9052 root   14u  IPv4 5133190       TCP *:8888 (LISTEN)
java    9053 root   14u  IPv4 5133190       TCP *:8888 (LISTEN)
java    9054 root   14u  IPv4 5133190       TCP *:8888 (LISTEN)
java    9055 root   14u  IPv4 5133190       TCP *:8888 (LISTEN)
java    9057 root   14u  IPv4 5133190       TCP *:8888 (LISTEN)
java    9058 root   14u  IPv4 5133190       TCP *:8888 (LISTEN)
java    9060 root   14u  IPv4 5133190       TCP *:8888 (LISTEN)
java    9061 root   14u  IPv4 5133190       TCP *:8888 (LISTEN)
second: after copying the fop directory, do i have to use
oc4j -install ?No, when you run OC4J it should automatically setup the files for you, you can start the OC4J container by doing this -
[root@db home]# $ORACLE_HOME/jdk/bin/java -jar oc4j.jar
07/03/29 07:05:43 Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE 10g (9.0.4.0.0) initializedYou can change the path to the java command to suit your own installation.
Is this the right position?This is what my application.xml looks like -
[root@db config]# more application.xml
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
