Orion-web.xml

What is the siginificanc of orion-web.xml file with respect to 9iAS? It seems to be like a configuration file. But I would like to know where it comes into picture and what role it plays with forms9i/9ias.
Thanks in advance
Sheba

Sheba,
you use this file to define classpath settings and virtual mappings for a Web deployment context, like /forms90.
For example: defining
<virtual-directory virtual-path="/img" real-path="D:\appImages/myImages" />
in the forms deployment context to access images on the Web will make them accessible through
http:// server :Port/forms90/img/<image name>
The virtual directory is created under the context root of the deployment owning the orion-web.xml file

FORMAUTH Filter in orion-web.xml ignored

I am trying to use a JAAS Custom Login Module with a customized logon.jsp (and Struts). So I defined a FORMAUTH Filter in orion-web.xml to intercept the logon.
However, Oracle 10g 10.1.3.2 did not deploy it. Why? How can I fix this problem?

I've used this before, and it worked fine. The only difference I can see is that you have a url-pattern element in the filter-mapping config.
In the short term, try removing that and see if it then works.

Add virtual directory to orion-web.xml file of embedded OC4J instance

I'd like to add a virtual directory to the orion-web.xml file of the embedded OC4J application which comes with JDeveloper (version 10.1.3.3.0.4157). Every time I run my application however, a new orion-web.xml file is created which overwrites the orion-web.xml file with my virtual directory. The orion-web.xml is located in the <JDev_Home>\jdev\system\oracle.j2ee.10.1.3.41.57\embedded-oc4j\application-deployments\current-workspace-app\<app Name> directory.
Does anybody know a solution to this problem?
Regards,
Matthieu

hi there,
i have the same problem, all the configuration files are included in the EAR file, like application.xml,...
but the orion-web.xml is not included.
I dont have that option that you mencioned File->New->Deployment Descriptiors -> web...for oc4j...
I can create a EAR, WAR or JAR in File->New->Deployment Profiles.
I need the orion-web.xml to define the MIME types the servlet can return, is it really needed?

Laura

JDev 10.1.3 Preview Create orion-web.xml Problem

When I use JDev 10.1.3 to create an orion-web.xml file, it generates something like this:
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'windows-1252'?>
<orion-web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oracleas/schema/orion-web-10_0.xsd" schema-major-version="10" schema-minor-version="0" servlet-webdir="/servlet/"/>
Shouldn't it create something without the closing "/>" marker on the <orion-web-app> line?
9.0.5 did something like:
<orion-web-app servlet-webdir="/servlet/">
</orion-web-app>

If the orion-web-app element does not have sub-elements
<orion-web-app servlet-webdir="/servlet/"/>
is equivalent to
<orion-web-app servlet-webdir="/servlet/">
</orion-web-app>

Orion-web.xml -- web-app-class-loader

Hi all, I posted this in the jDeveloper section and someone suggested that I ask you guys what the importance of the orion-web.xml file is. Currently my files looks like ...
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'windows-1252'?>
<!DOCTYPE orion-web-app PUBLIC "-//Evermind//DTD Orion Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://xmlns.oracle.com/ias/dtds/orion-web.dtd">
<orion-web-app servlet-webdir="/servlet/">
</orion-web-app>
But it keeps adding the line that I mention below...
I have a system that consists of multiple projects. When I deploy all projects they all work fine except for one. We discovered that this is due to the following line in the orion-web.xml file in that project ....
<web-app-class-loader search-local-classes-first="true"/>
I removed that line and everything is now fine. However, whenever I open up the application in jDev is puts that line back (even if I don't make changes).
Is there a setting somewhere that is forcing this line to be put there and, if so, why? And how do I switch it off?
Thanks,
Russell

Hey Steve,
I must admit that this post confused me a bit.
I can find no deployment plan editor. We have a WAR Deployment Profile, an EAR Deployment Profile and an EJB JAR Deplyment Profile.
I use the debug functionality (using the embedded OC4J) to test the application locally during development and then deply the EAR Deployment Profile to an EAR file which then gets deployed using an Application Server.
Further to this I have tried deleting the file (from everywhere), changing the EAR Deployment Properties and even changing the code within the ORION-WEB.XML to say <web-app-class-loader search-local-classes-first="false"/> all to no avail.
If I remove the file completed, it add its back when I reopen the project. If I change it to false, it changes it back to True.
Very confused I must admit.
Thanks,
Russell

Orion-web.xml access-mask not working

Hi, I am trying to restrict access to a specific application via the orion-web.xml descriptor. This would be OC4J in OAS 10.1.3.4.
I have done this in the GUI by using the "Advanced Deployment Plan Editing -> Edit Deployment Plan" option. I thought this would be safer than editing the files by hand. The application deploys successfully, and in orion-web.xml of my deployed application, this translates into:
<orion-web-app
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oracleas/schema/orion-web-10_0.xsd"

        jsp-taglib-locations=""
        temporary-directory="./temp"
        context-root="MyApp"
schema-major-version="10" schema-minor-version="0" >
        <access-mask default="deny">
                <ip-access ip="127.0.0.1" mode="allow" netmask="255.255.255.255" />
                <ip-access ip="192.168.0.100" mode="allow" netmask="255.255.255.255" />
                <ip-access ip="192.168.0.101" mode="allow" netmask="255.255.255.255" />
        </access-mask>
        
        <resource-ref-mapping name="jdbc/myDB" location="jdbc/myDB" />
        <web-app>
        </web-app>
</orion-web-app>This looks OK to my eyes, but unfortunately it doesn't restrict any access at all. I have restarted the specific application, and I have also restarted the entire OC4J. No access is restricted; I can pull up the application from any IP address. My intention was to restrict access only to the 2 IP addresses (and localhost by IP) listed above.
I have reviewed multiple metalink articles on this topic:
Note 438493.1 - How to Restrict access for EM Database Control only from Specific Hosts / IPs
Note 178665.1 - How to Restrict Access to OC4J to Specific Hosts or IP Addresses
Note 311137.1 - How to restrict access to EM website based on IP Addresses/Domain Names
None of them seem to indicate that I have done anything wrong.
If anyone has any feedback on this topic, identifies a problem with my config, or has knowledge of a product bug, please respond to this thread.
Many thanks in advance for your feedback.

Making sure setting ojsp-init tags-reuse from orion-web.xml is used

I'm facing a problem with the following setting in my application's orion-web.xml:
<ojsp-init tags-reuse="compiletime-with-release"/>
previously, we had this setting in global-web-application.xml, but we would like to specify it per application, to get rid of the OC4J post-installation step to manually add the following lines:
<init-param>
<param-name>tags_reuse_default</param-name>
<param-value>compiletime_with_release</param-value>
</init-param>
However, the latter works, and the former doesn't seem to have any effect whatsoever. But as far as I can see, the orion-web.xml is correctly following the XSD:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<orion-web-app
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oracleas/schema/orion-web-10_0.xsd"      deployment-version="10.1.3.3.0"
     deployment-time="1198148775354"
     jsp-cache-directory="./persistence"
     jsp-cache-tlds="standard"
     jsp-taglib-locations=""
     temporary-directory="./temp"
     servlet-webdir="/servlet/"
     context-root="/messagecontrol"
schema-major-version="10" schema-minor-version="0" >
     
     <ojsp-init tags-reuse="compiletime-with-release"/>
</orion-web-app>
http://www.oracle.com/technology/oracleas/schema/orion-web-10_0.xsd
Am I missing something here? Do we need to do something specific to make sure the ojsp-init values are actually used? The documentation seems to indicate that the two settings are equivalent:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B32110_01/web.1013/b28961/devconfig.htm#BHCFICDA
Any help would be appreciated.
Jaap

Update:
In the meantime I've logged a SR for this. The settings "none" and "compiletime" do work and behave the same as their global-web-application.xml counterparts. It's just the "compiletime-with-release" that does not work as expected.

Orion-web.xml and resource-env-ref-mapping correct usage

What happened to resource-env-ref-mapping element in orion-web.xml? I have a 9.0.4.1 server running several .EAR files containing web applications using this attribute to configure JMS related items. But when deploying the .EAR to newer versions (9.0.5.2) of the server this attribute doesn't appear to be valid any longer?
Here it is in the 9.0.4 documentation:
http://strogoff.unex.es/oradoc/form_y_report_10g/web.904/b10322/apdx_a.htm

I should have been more clear about the issue. The error only occurs when running inside the embedded OC4J container of JDeveloper 10.1.2 build 1913. The error does NOT occur in JDeveloper 9.0.3. The application also runs fine when deployed to a 10.1.2 Enterprise application server. The error only occurs in JDeveloper.

10.1.3 - OEM Deployment generating invalid orion-web.xml

Hi,
I've playing around with OracleASjms resource adapters, JMS Connector, etc - with some good results. I noticed that one of my test applications, when deployed (via OEM) gets an orion-web.xml which is not according to the XML schema and am wondering whether this is designed behavior.
In my servlet I'm using some logical names for javax.jms.ConnectionFactory and javax.jms.Destination, which I specify in the web.xml. Deploying the ear file I get the change to resolve environment references to 'physical' JNDI locations. I map the logical javax.jms.ConnectionFactory to an OracleASjms resource adapter connection factory (which in turn is pointing to an JMS ConnectionFactory) and the javax.jms.Destination I map to an OracleASjms Administered resource.
The applications deploys and works fine, however I have a question with respect to the orion-web.xml that Oracle is generating based. More specifically I see (<....> are replaced with actual values):
   <message-destination-ref-mapping
         name="<logical name>"
         location="<OracleAsjms/Administerered Object>"/>The element message-destination-ref-mapping isn't declared in the XML schema for orion-web.xml, but still it works, how come?

http://www.oracle.com/technology/oracleas/schema/orion-web-10_0.xsd
Thanks, jvissers. It seems that orion-web-10_0.xsd is outdated. It is probably that it was posted for the 10.1.3 preview. When the 10.1.3 production release is available, at least that schema is not updated. Hmm, all things that are changing but kept at different places are just very susceptible to inconsistency. Hmm, OracleAs team should probably make automated tests to make sure that they are in sync. (I am just thinking loudly). Let me try to communicate to someone who can further take care of this matter of outdated schemas. Thanks again, jvissers.
Where did you look?Inside my oc4j installation! oc4j will not go to the web to download the oc4j-specific schemas in case of need. The orion-web-10_0.xsd is at OC4J_HOME/j2ee/home/lib/schemas.jar!META-INF/orion-web-10_0.xsd. That is where I looked. So the orion-web.xml generated by OEM is indeed valid.

About the element, 'expiration-setting' in the orion-web.xml

orion-web.dtd says

<!ELEMENT expiration-setting (#PCDATA)>
<!ATTLIST expiration-setting expires CDATA #IMPLIED
url-pattern CDATA #IMPLIED
>
I thought this element will help for tuning.
My question is,
if there is a frequently accessed images, and url-pattern is "http://image.myserver.com", i assumed the syntax like the following,
<expiration-setting expire="?" url-pattern="http://image.myserver.com">
but i don't know what's the meaning of the attribute value 'expire'? And big or small one in my situation? and Basically does it work in the oc4j server?
null

Integrating orion-application.xml deployment with JDeveloper?

Hi all,
I am trying to create JAAS secured web/ear application but haven't found the
way to integrate the orion-application.xml file in the JDeveloper
deployment process. An alternative would be to insert orion-application.xml tags
into orion-web.xml and copy this one to the usual WEB-INF along with web.xml
another possibility would be directly copying orion-application.xml to the
%J2EE_HOME%\application-deployments\MyApp\orion-application.xml after deployed
in the OC4J Server, but would be lot easier just having JDeveloper deploy it
automatically, what is the way to do it?

Giovanni

Erasing webb-app element in orion-web

Hi,
In documentation about a file orion-web.xml, there is a information that one is allowed to put into that file element <web-app> 'to augment the normal config settings in web.xml.' So I did, and everything works fine when works in jdeveloper with standalone OC4J.
But when deploy to OAS 10G(by EM), in application-deployments directory, Enterprise manager erased element <web-app> from orion-web.xml, and my app couldn't start, because it needs information from <webb-app><context-param>.
When I edit orion-web.xml on OAS manually, my app works. Of course till next deployment only.
Looks like a bug. Am I wrong?

I've used this before, and it worked fine. The only difference I can see is that you have a url-pattern element in the filter-mapping config.
In the short term, try removing that and see if it then works.

Move env-entry from web.xml into deployment plan

I have:
<env-entry>
<env-entry-name>USERNAME</env-entry-name>
<env-entry-value>someUser</env-entry-value>
<env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
</env-entry>
and I'd like to move it from web.xml into my_app_plan.dat. Is it possible? How?
Thank you in advance!

Let me describe my case in few more words...
I have some kind of client-server app. Clients have OC4J installed and they download myApp.ear and myApp_plan.dat files and by using script (Windows CMD batch file) clients install those files with admin_client.jar, OC4J's admin utility. The problem is that I have 2 different types of clients and I have client specific settings set in web.xml file and each time I compile myApp.ear I have to uncomment/comment some lines in web.xml.
So, to make a long story short, I need a way to deploy those settings separated from (outside of) myApp.ear. By following you link, I have read that orion-web.xml should reside inside WEB-INF folder of myApp.ear, which is not good for me.

Env-entry from web.xml not in generated plan.xml

Hello,

Override web.xml With Server Specific Values

Not sure if here or the OC4J/J2EE forum is most appropriate place for this question:
We're currently working on migrating from the old jserv setup to 9.0.4 app server with OC4J. We have the infrastructure installed and are managing the application through Enterprise Manager. In my web.xml file I provide initialization parameters to one of my servlets using something similar to the following:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>util.GlobalPropertyManager</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>util.GlobalPropertyManager</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>mhris.batch.outputdir</param-name>
<param-value>d:/dev/java/mhris/defaultroot/batch/</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
Now, this directory path I've provided is only good on my local workstation. When I deploy to my UNIX production servers, I need to override this with a valid path depending on the server being deployed to (no, they don't all have the same directory setup, yeah it's a pain). These servers include our production boxes, development server, test, training, etc.
Currently under JSERV, I provide server specific values in the Global Init Parameters section of my property file (don't remember why we didn't use the Servlet Init Parameters property instead). This works very well since this file is not touched when we land updates, so the values are set once for each server.
Under OC4J, I understand that I can override the values in web.xml by using an orion-web.xml file BUT it appears that this file resides in the WAR I deploy, so each server will get the same orion-web.xml rather than maintaining its own set of values.
Is there another .xml file I can use to provide these initalization parameters? global-web-applications.xml looked promising but I wasn't completely sure I could put values for my application in it or where exactly they should go (ie. inside the existing <web-app> section or if I should create a second one specifically for my app).
Any ideas or will I have to reploy a different orion-web.xml file to each of my servers?
Appreciate the assistance,
Michael

Michael,
First, I would just modify the web.xml during each deployment.
Second, I would recommend using the same relative path with the web-app context. Then, you can use the Servlet API to retrive the real path of the web-app context.
I don't think it is necessary to use orion-web.xml or other properties files.

Orion-web.xml
