Oracle 9i with WebLogic 6.0. Is it possible?

According to the "Platform Support" page on BEA website
(http://www.weblogic.com/platforms/index.html#jdbc) it seems like WL 6.0
doesnot support Oracle 9i connectivity. Am I correct in assuming that? Is
there an updated version of Oracle Type 2 driver available that can connect
to Oracle 9?
Thanks
Atif

Hi Atif,
Yes your right. You can use the Oracle thin driver though, by placing the
classes12.zip file in the CLASSPATH before weblogic.jar for booting the
server.

Oracle UCM with Weblogic portals

Does any one has idea working with oracle UCM with Weblogic portals. Can anyone suggest any tutorial in online.

Provided you are using the Oracle UCM Content Adapter for WLP (UCM SPI), using content sourced from UCM in WLP applications is not different from using content from other Repositories.
See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13155_01/wlp/docs103/ucm_adapter/index.html for information on using the Adapter and for tips on content modeling.

Other solution:
on refresh period, default value is 1 minute, force this value at 0 and your connection
is ok.

Redo the pool definition, and set 'test connection on reserve'. Don't
set 'test connections on release', and leave refresh minutes alone.
add a test table. DUAL is perfect for that. Everything else seems
fine.

How to handle Oracle BLOBs with WebLogic 10.3

We have code that has been running for a long time to handle blobs in Oracle. We have never had a problem running inside of WebLogic, including WLS 10.0 and WLS 11. Recently, we had a customer that had a problem after they upgraded to WLS 10.3. Indeed, we downloaded that specific version and see the same issue. The issue is our Oracle db specific code is now causing an IllegalAccessException after we get the ResultSet vendor obj, by calling getVendorObj() on the WebLogic managed result set, and try to cast to an OracleResultSet. We need to do this in order to call OracleResultSet.getBLOB(), which returns an oracle.sql.BLOB. The code we use to update the blob is shown below. getOracleBLOB is our own method. It basically gets the OracleResultSet by calling getVendorObj on the managed WLS ResultSet, casting to an OracleResultSet, and calling getBLOB(colname) on it. Casting to the OracleResultSet causes the exception shown below. OK, so I understand WLS not wanting us to fiddle with the underlying db ResultSet, but what's our alternative. How can we do this without relying on the underlying OracleResultSet? After 10 years, working with many different versions of WebLogic as well as JBOSS and WebSphere, this is the first time we are seeing this.
Thanks in advance.
oracle.sql.BLOB blob = getOracleBLOB(rset,_columns.name);
OutputStream os = blob.getBinaryOutputStream();
ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(os);
oos.writeObject(_columns[i].paramObj);
oos.close();

We ultimately found out what the issue was. Turns out that OracleResultSet moved from oracle.jdbc.driver into oracle.jdbc starting with ojdbc6.jar. We were referencing the oracle.jdbc.driver package.

INTEGRATION OF ORACLE APPS WITH MOBILE SMS

{color:#3366ff}Dear All,
I would like to Integrate the Oracle Apps with Mobile SMS,
The Task is that..
" WHENEVER THE PURCHASE ORDER IS RELEASED BY A SENIOR PURCHASE MANAGER, THEN A SMS MESSAGE HAS TO COME TO HIS SENIOR MANAGERS MOBILE Phone "
Is it Possible to Integrate Oracle Apps with Mobile Phone if it is possible then send me the DEMO Application procedure.....................
Please help me out..
Regards,
Vijay .
{color}

Sending an SMS is a relatively small customisation if you work with an SMS aggregator such as Clickatel or TXTLocal. Both expose simple Web Service api's that you call with the phone number and message text as parameters. The aggregator then hands the message off to the mobile phone network for delivery to a users phone. The aggregators also provide web services that allow you to be notified when they receive an SMS message for you. So if you wanted to be really smart you could allow the user to reply to the original SMS with "Approve" or "Reject" and update the status of the PO/requisition automatically and advance the workflow.

I get the following error when I try to lookup the datasource. I am not sure where the problem is as I have configured Connection Pool and TXDataSource as mentioned in the documentation.
java.sql.SQLException: XA error: XAER_RMERR : A resource manager error has occured in the transaction branch start() failed on resource 'myXAPool' Unexpected error during start for XAResource 'myXAPool': null
It would be really great if you can help me out.
Thanks in Advance,

Hi Sudhir,
If you do not know if upgrade or not, have a look here :

Note that at the end of June SP3 will be released...

Hi Sergi,
Thanks a lot for the class file, I figured out what the problem was. Actually
the
database version I was working with was 8.0.6.0. The Oracle driver doesn't
work with
this but the JDriver worked. This is the output of running CheckDriver..
DatabaseProductName : Oracle
DatabaseProductVersion : Oracle8 Enterprise Edition Release 8.0.6.0.0 -
Production
With the Partitioning and Objects options
PL/SQL Release 8.0.6.0.0 - Production
DriverName : Oracle JDBC driver
DriverVersion : 8.1.7.1.0
Then I tried on using the Oracle Driver on another instance which has the
version
8.1.7.1.0 and it worked. The JDriver and Oracle driver both work with this
database.
The output of CheckDriver for this Oracle instance is..
DatabaseProductName : Oracle
DatabaseProductVersion : Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.1.0 -
Production
With the Partitioning option
JServer Release 8.1.7.1.0 - Production
DriverName : Oracle JDBC driver
DriverVersion : 8.1.7.0.0
By the way I am working on WLS 6.1 SP1. What is the advantage of SP2 ? Should
I upgrade
Thanks once again,

Hi Sudhir ,
JDriver works well, you can work with it.
Just for curiosity, can you run the class I attached using the "exact"classpath

On which platform are you running your WLSP2 ?

Hi Sergi,
I just checked the things you mentioned. The connection pool starts correctly
without
any errors. I also made sure SELECT previlege was granted to DBA_PENDING_TRANSACTIONS.
I do have the JAVA_XA package installed and it has EXECUTE permission
to
PUBLIC.
I actually tried using the Weblogic JDriver (weblogic.jdbc.oci.xa.XADataSource)
and
it works perfect without any issue. The only consideration is that itis
a Type 2
Driver and needs to have the Oracle Client installed. But right now Ido
have it
installed on the same machine.
Do you know any known issues with Weblogic JDriver. Do you think it'sa
good idea
to go with it ?

Hibernate OR EclipseLink...Which is best with Weblogic and Oracle DB?

Hi All,
In my company, we are using Oracle DB and Weblogic application server. So in the process to upgrade or switch to new ORM, we shortlisted two options - Hibernate and EclipseLink.
I gathered following summary regarding both ORMs -
Hibernate:
1.     When you need to train people, like we are going to do next week – most of the companies have Hibernate experts.
2.     When you hire new developers, most of them come with specific Hibernate experience.
3.     When you need to consult with experts, both in the internet or consultants, you have LOTS of options. Endless forums and communities all regarding Hibernate.
4.     Hibernate is an open source which has a huge community. This means that it will be improved all the time and will push the ORM market forward.
5.     Hibernate is an open source which means you have the code to handle, and in case needed, fit it to your needs.
6.     There are lots of plugins to Hibernate, such as validations tool, audit tools, etc. These becomes standard as well and dismiss you from impl. things yourself.
7.     One most important thing with ORM tool, is to configure it according to your application’s needs. Usually the default setting doesn’t fit to your needs.
For that sake, when the market has a huge experience with the tool’s configuration, and lots of experts (see point 1 and 3) – most of chances you will find similar cases and
lots of knowledge about how to configure the tool and thus – your application.
EclipseLink:
1. Fully supported by Oracle. Hibernate no. In case of pb, it could be cumbersome to prove that it is a pure Weblogic one. Concretely, we will have to prove it (waste of time and complexity).
2. Eclipse link is developed by Oracle and the preferred ORM in the Weblogic /Oracle DB world.
3. Even if at a certain time EclipseLink was a bit late compared to Hibernate (feature), EclipseLink evolved very fast and we can consider now that they close the gap.
4. No additional fee as soon as you have Weblogic license. You will need to pays additional fee if you want some professional support on Hibernate.
5. We are currently relying on Hibernate for our legacy offer and are facing pb in second level cache (JGroups). Today, we are riding off this part!. Consequences are limitation in clustering approach (perf)
6. On EclipseLink side we do succeed to manage first and second level cache in a clustering approach.
7. Indeed Hibernate is open source, so you can imagine handling it. In reality, the code is so complex that it is nearly impossible to modify it. Moreover as it is LGPL, you need to feedback all the modified sources to the community systematically.
8. All tests performed by Oracle concerning Weblogic are using EclipseLink. Moreover, Oracle says that some specific optimizations are done to manage Oracle DB.
9. Hibernate comes from JBoss community.
Right now we are preferring Hibernate but there are concerns/reasons like EclipseLink developed by Oracle and preferred ORM in Webogic/ Oracle DB world (compatibility of ORM with DB and App. server), support comparison with both ORM, which are preventing to finalize the decision.
Please help me with you views and opinions and share you experience with us so that we can make a perfect decision.
If you want you can also reply to me @ [email protected].
Thanks.

The way the ORMs are designed, integration with application servers are relatively simple, and all provides the same features. Also since WebLogic have been around for a while, all ORMs are all well tested in this configuration.
Hibernate has lot more users, and is likely very often used with Oracle DB, so you can expect not much bug against Oracle DB, maybe even less bug than EclipseLink, which is not much used. EclipseLink does provide support for some esoteric Oracle DB features like hierarchical and flashback queries.
OpenJPA and DataNucleus are also JPA compliant. It’s likely that Open JPA has a higher user base than EclipseLink, so less unknown bugs.
Oracle paying support is well known to be a bad joke. It’s a negative return to use this channel, even if they would be free. So in reality, you end up to use the open (free) forum to get support.
What’s was lacking with Hibernate before is Dynamic Fetch Planning, but they now have some support, see http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3414. OpenJPA was the first to implement this must have.
EclipseLink has query in memory, which can be used, but the API do not help to leverage it, and EclipseLink’s leadership made it clear that they are not going to make it better, instead they want to push Coherence cache.
Hibernate has an open API for second level cache, which mean you can get out of problem by using another implementation, for example, EHCache seems to be professionally tested, so I would be surprise you find obvious bugs.
I cannot comment on Hibernate source code quality, but I can tell you that locking mechanism in EclipseLink is used to be very fragile, and many concepts are dispersed over the code base.
The runtime monitoring of Hibernate have always been great due to the fact that JBoss have always been strong on JMX, EclipseLink has not much usable features on this.
If I would be you, I would consider OpenJPA or Hibernate instead of EclipseLink, the main reason is that because EclipseLink has a so low user base, I have found lot of obvious bugs in production, like if I was the only user of it. Then, when I submitted bugs to the small development team, which do not encourage user base contribution, they were too busy trying to keep up adding the JPA interfaces on top of their existing proprietary APIs.

Steps to UTF-8 Encoding with Oracle 8i and Weblogic 6.1SP1

What are the Steps to UTF-8 Encoding with Oracle 8i and Weblogic
          6.1SP1?
          I have:
          - Oracle 8.1.5 database created with character set=UTF8 and national
          character set=UTF8
          - Weblogic 6.1SP1 without any encoding mechanism set
          (though I did play with
          <jsp-param><param-name>encoding</param-name>
          <param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
          </jsp-param>
          in the weblogic.xml for a while though it seemed not to make a
          difference)
          - JSP pages set to content='text/html; charset=UTF-8'
          - JSP form POSTs set to enctype="UTF-8"
          I can copy and paste Chinese Kanji from a UTF8 encoded web page into
          form text boxes but when I post the data it comes back as different
          Kanji. Then once it is posted the Kanji stays the same on repeated
          posts. The same Kanji text also looks different when viewed in a form
          text box than when viewed as straight text on the page.
          Is there anything else? Or am I already encoding characters twice?
          Please help!

You can find the name of the standalone reports server in $ORACLE_INSTANCE/config/ReportsServerComponent.
Or you can use Fusion Middleware Control Console, normally at http://<machine name>:7001/em

Problem integrating Oracle 9i and Weblogic 7 with MDBs

All:
I would really appreciate an answer to this question.
Background:
- We are using Oracle 9i and Weblogic 7
- I have an MDB that receives a message, then in the onMessage(Message) method
performs a findByPrimaryKey(String).
Problem:
The deployment descriptors and the MDB all work fine when I set them up to query
against a Pointbase database and deploy to Weblogic. Everything worked fine. But
this was only a test to see if everything would work.
I now need to query against an Oracle database. I got the updated version of the
Oracle Thin Driver and put it in the WL_HOME/server/lib/classes12.zip file. I
even added it to the beginning of the classpath in the startWeblogic.cmd file.
But am still having problems.
To test the just the Oracle connection I double checked the user, password, URL,
and driver settings in a java file using JDBC connections - and they worked fine.
They just aren't working when integrated into Weblogic.
The problem lies in the Weblogic 7 server integration with Oracle 9i. The software
integrated fine when tables from a Pointbase database were queried. The only changes
made have been to make the connectivity to Oracle.
My errors are in the attached myserver.log file. If anyone knows if this is a
known problem or what the problem is please let me know.
Just FYI my settings are as follows:
Driver: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
URL=jdbc:oracle:thin:@192.168.6.10:1521:proType1
user=protype1
password=protype1
Any advice is welcomed! I've tried everything I can think of.

Hi Angela
you can try the following parameters in the FileRealm.properties to set
acl.reserve.weblogic.jdbc.connectionPool.<connectionPool>=everyone

Thanks, I set the initial pool count to 2 and have up to 10
connections (for this testing). Unfortunately it hasn't helped
any.
The error that I am getting is an SQLException:
Exception = Access not allowed
But when I ran the java utils.dbping it makes the connection
with the connection and driver parameters I enter in the console.
I'm still open to ideas on this! :)
Thanks,

Configureing Oracle 9i Reports with Weblogic

Hello
Did anyone so far tried to configure Oracle Reports with another application server (like Weblogic) than iAS? If yes, can you please tell me what is invloved in doing something like this (if its doable anyway)?
thanks

In some of our applications we are using Reports 6.0 and we have no problems with 9.2 DB.

How to integrate Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse with Weblogic Portal

Hi
I am following this documentation http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15919_01/wlp.1032/e14252/setup_dev_env.htm#i1013214
to setup my development environment for developing portal applications, but I cannot set it up, my eclipse does not have PORTAL perspective.
I have downloaded the Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse 11gR1 (11.1.1.5) and the Oracle WebLogic Portal 10.3 as mentioned in the documentation.
The Oracle Weblogic Portal 10.3 includes a workshop version of eclipse, but that is not based on a recent Eclipse, that is why I would like to use the Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse 11gR1 (11.1.1.5).
It is weird int he Oracle Portal 10.3 installation that I cannot install the Weblogic Portal without the Workshop.
Could you help me in this? How can I integrate the Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse with Weblogic Portal?
Thank you.

For WebLogic Portal tooling you have a couple of options. For WebLogic Portal 10.3 and older, Workshop for WebLogic will be your tooling environment.
Starting in WebLogic Portal 10.3.2, which released this year, the development tools have migrated to Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse. The WebLogic Portal 10.3.2 installer will install both the runtime and the IDE configured with additional WebLogic Portal Eclipse features (Portal Project Configuration, Perspecitives, Palettes, Deployment, etc).
If you are interest in the latest version, you can download from the WebLogic Portal OTN page - http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/weblogic/portal/index.html

Replace Oracle Workshop for Weblogic with OEPE?

Hi,
I've been working with Oracle Workshop for Weblogic for over 3 years and it isn't working as well as I hoped. I recently heard about OEPE and thought it might work as a drop-in replacement for OWfW.
Here is the technology stack that I currently rely on OWfW for development:
Weblogic Server 10.3.0
Weblogic Portal 10.3.0
ODSI
OSB
I develop portals/portlets, pageflow applications, web services, dataspaces, and OSB artifacts with OWfW.
So, I downloaded Eclipse 3.7 (Indigo) and used the Eclipse Update Manager to install OEPE:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E27086_02/help/oracle.eclipse.tools.common.doc/html/install.html#update_manager
I selected every possible component and didn't leave any option unchecked for the install.
Now, as I mentioned, I already have the servers installed (WLS, WLP, ODSI, OSB). I was hoping that OEPE would give me the same ability to develop an ODSI dataspace, for example, as OWfW...but it appears it doesn't. Actually, I can't find any tooling support for WLP, ODSI, or OSB.
Can someone confirm that the tooling support for these technologies is missing in OEPE?
I read this link:
https://blogs.oracle.com/middleware/entry/installing_eclipse_for_osb_development
which suggests that Eclipse can be used for OSB development but, as I understand it, it requires me to install OEPE in a different way (along with Weblogic Server). Furthermore, I don't want to install Weblogic Server 11g because I already have all the servers installed that I want to use.
Can I get some advice on how to proceed?
Thanks...
Kevin

I see. And you're hoping that OEPE would be better. Since Workshop is Eclipse, I would expect the OEPE support from various products to simply be reincarnations of the same Eclipse plugins - and perhaps the behavior to be similar.
"the best way to describe it is "flaky". Intermittently, there are WLS deployment or IDE errors. It also occasionally (and randomly) hangs, is slow, and strange behaviour is very common. Just as randomly, errors will go away."
Seeing the errors (from the workshop log and the server log) would be helpful. Without any other information, my best guess is that Workshop and/or WLS is low on memory, or even that the machine they are running on is low on memory. Workshop memory can be increased with the arguments -Xmx and -XX:MaxPermSize in <workshop>/workshop.ini. The memory settings for wls are in the <domain>/bin/setDomainEnv file.
Somethings that you might find chewing up a lot of memory is many/large xml schemas - they get compiled into xmlbeans and held in memory. If you have several projects in a single workspace, you might consider putting them in separate workspaces.
